Xandeum Launches STOINC on Mainnet, Introducing Usage-Based Storage Income for Web3

Xandeum, a scalable, smart contract-native storage layer for Solana, has officially launched STOINC (Storage Income) on mainnet.

With STOINC now live, Xandeum introduces a usage-driven, on-chain storage economy, enabling applications, node operators, and the broader network to participate in value creation tied to actual storage demand.

Unlike traditional reward mechanisms that rely on token emissions, STOINC is powered by actual storage usage. Every interaction with the Xandeum storage layer generates fees that are collected and distributed across the network.

At the end of each cycle, storage fees are distributed across the Xandeum network economy, rewarding pNode participation, supporting staking incentives as they come online, and funding continued ecosystem growth.

“Storage must become a first-class citizen in Web3,” said Bernie Blume, Founder of Xandeum. With mainnet live and community pNodes already online, STOINC marks the beginning of a usage-based storage economy designed to support the next generation of storage-enabled dApps on Solana. “With STOINC, we’re moving beyond theory into real usage, where storage activity directly translates into economic value.”

The launch addresses a key limitation in blockchain infrastructure: scalable, native storage for smart contracts. By enabling this, Xandeum supports a new category of applications known as storage-enabled dApps (sedApps).

Upcoming developments include XAND staking to pNodes, deployment of native applications, and expansion into enterprise use cases.

As Web3 evolves toward real-world utility, scalable storage becomes critical infrastructure. STOINC positions Xandeum as a key player in this transition, where usage drives value creation.
