Acquiring and Storing ​
The Xian ecosystem revolves around its native coin $XIAN, which powers transactions, governance, and smart-contract execution.
Below is a fixed guide (17 Jun 2025) on how to obtain and safeguard $XIAN, reflecting the resources and links published on the official site.
Acquiring $XIAN ​
| Method | Where | Details |
|---|---|---|
| On-chain DEX (native token) | SNAKexchange – XIAN/USDC pair | Trade directly on the Xian Layer-1; liquidity is denominated in native $XIAN. |
| Bridged token (Solana) | Raydium – Swap link | Purchase wrapped $XIAN on Solana, then bridge it to Xian for on-chain use. |
| Centralized exchange | Dex-Trade – XIAN/USDT pair | Buy $XIAN on a CEX using USDT; withdraw to your Xian wallet for native staking or dApps. |
| Bridge existing assets | Xian Bridge – https://bridge.xian.org | Move SOL, USDC, or bridged $XIAN between Solana and the Xian mainnet. |
| Earn by participating | • Provide liquidity or farm on SNAKexchange (100 %+ APR farms). • Deploy dApps and collect 68 % of gas fees. • Contribute to DAO bounties and governance. | |
| Faucets | • Mainnet faucet • Testnet faucet | Small starter amounts for testing and development. |
Native vs Bridged: Stats shown on <xian.org> (price, market cap, circulating supply) refer to the native token on Xian. Wrapped $XIAN on Solana may display different metrics on third-party trackers.
The Xian Wallet (Chrome Extension) ​
Install: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xian-wallet/kcimjjhplbcgkcnanijkolfillgfanlc/
Core Features ​
- Hold & Transfer – Store native $XIAN and any Xian-based tokens; send or receive with a few clicks.

Best-Practice Security Checklist ​
- Back up your seed phrase offline (paper or encrypted hardware). Xian Wallet cannot recover lost keys.
- Verify URLs – Only install the wallet from the Chrome Web Store link above and interact with dApps you trust.
- Keep software current – Update Chrome and the Xian Wallet to patch vulnerabilities.
- Use hardware wallets for large holdings – Ledger/Trezor support is planned; until then, store high-value keys on air-gapped devices.
- Review contract code before approving transactions, especially for new tokens—remember that community-created tokens are not endorsed by the core team.

With the Xian Wallet and the acquisition routes outlined above—native DEX trading, centralized-exchange access, bridging, faucets, and on-chain earning—anyone can enter the Xian ecosystem quickly.
