AMA on X

#Dora# On January 11th, Burnt (XION) announced on social platforms that the first online XION Hacker marathon co-hosted by DoraHacks was officially launched on January 17th. From January 17 to February 14, users can build innovative, user-friendly apps with XION's Generalized Abstraction, with a total prize pool of $20,000, and registration is open today

$XION looks great.

Returning still as a youth, interpreting the vision of "making Crypto Assets invisible" proposed by @burnt_xion. What XION aims to do is really practical, as most people in real life are not concerned about concepts like "blockchain", "Gas fees", and "private keys". They only care about the results: whether it can be used, whether it is safe, and whether the experience is smooth. Just to give a casual example from daily life: 🏦 Traditional Bank vs Blockchain Wallet When you transfer money at a bank, you never think about whether it uses the SWIFT system or a clearinghouse; you just need to enter the account number, amount, and then click confirm. But in today's Web3 world, you need to prepare a wallet, save the mnemonic phrase, choose Gas fees, and confirm the chain... The threshold is extremely high for ordinary people. What XION wants to do It's like making the blockchain the "invisible bank backend"; users only need to "click to pay" or "log in with an email," while all the complex signatures, Gas fee calculations, and cross-chain communications are encapsulated by the protocol layer. In other words, @burnt_xion wants to turn the "blockchain experience" into an "Alipay/PayPal experience." 🛠 Technical Language Deconstruction The core value of XION lies in Protocol-Level Abstraction (, which means it is not simply making a wallet, but rather shielding complexity at the lowest level, allowing both developers and users to not have to face encryption challenges directly. 1. Account Abstraction (Meta Account Contract) You can create a blockchain account using just your email/social account/FaceID, instead of saving a mnemonic phrase. 2. Signature Abstraction (Abstraxion SDK) Users simply initiate an OAuth-style token request, and the actual signature is completed by the on-chain Meta Account. 3. Gas abstraction (USDC unified billing + Treasury contract) Users may not even feel the existence of Gas, as the application side has prepaid, and the pricing is uniformly done using the stablecoin USDC. 4. Device Abstraction (Cosmos SDK + IBC) No matter which chain you use, the underlying cross-chain communication is shielded, providing developers and users with a unified experience. 📈 Why is it important For developers: from "complex multi-wallet integration" → "access similar to Firebase Auth". Development costs and barriers have been significantly reduced. To users: From "Must understand blockchain" → "No need to know this is blockchain". The threshold is lowered to the same level as Web2 applications. For the industry: Truly transition Web3 from "geek circle" to "mass application." Only by hiding the blockchain can Web3 possibly gain a billion users. 👉 Summary @burnt_xion's vision of "making Crypto Assets invisible" is not just a slogan, but a strategic direction of a technological architecture. Its significance is like turning "electricity" from exposed wires into invisible infrastructure in a socket: only when people can turn on the light without understanding the principles of electricity does power truly change the world.
