In a recent community AMA hosted by Kody, alongside team members Mike, Kevin, and Vivek, Layer One X shared significant updates on their Quantum DeX and broader ecosystem. Here's a summary of the key points:
Opening the DeX to All Projects
Layer One X has opened its DeX to all projects, removing previous restrictions to enhance accessibility. This allows projects to leverage the token builder and gas-free experience, with immediate compatibility for Wrapped Layer One X (WL1X). The DeX now features two sections: high TVL (Total Value Locked) for pools above $10,000 and low TVL for those below. Kevin emphasized caution when investing in low TVL pools, advising users to verify community presence and project legitimacy before purchasing tokens. There will be soon allocating a loan badge to note to the community those that cannot be rug pulled out (who got a loan through L1X). Since the DeX opened on 28 July 2025, it has grown from 5 to 24 pools, with 5–6 in the high TVL category.
Xtalk Token Surge and Airdrop Season 2
The Webinar highlighted the success of Xtalk, a token listed on the DeX that surged 30,000% from $500 to $12,000 in TVL, now in the primary listing tab.
The strong community support and holding patterns demonstrate confidence in the ecosystem. Additionally, Layer One X launched Airdrop Season 2 on TaskOn, featuring trading competitions and quests with rewards up to $500,000.
This initiative has attracted new users, many of whom are holding tokens rather than selling, indicating growing loyalty.
New Layer One X Explorer
A revamped Layer One X Explorer was released, featuring a mobile-friendly design and comprehensive transaction tracking for Layer One X Virtual Machine (L1X VM), Layer One X EVM, and XTalk transactions. The explorer includes advanced filtering and will soon support contract verification for full transparency. While syncing data from 4 June to 5 August 2025, the team is addressing minor downtimes in the next 24 to 48 hours and encourages community feedback via Discord or X to enhance features.
Marketing and Community Engagement
Layer One X is ramping up marketing efforts, including X Spaces with influencers like Coin Crypto Show and Mother AI, with 40% of DeX transactions coming from new wallets. A community challenge encourages 30–60-second videos on their experience with L1X & Quantum DeX to share feedback, fostering engagement. The team also plans to integrate with platforms like CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap to boost visibility and attract more projects.
Node Rewards and Automation
Node operators are set to receive updated rewards, with the top 100 nodes earning $50 monthly in Layer One X ETH to cover hosting costs, starting 11 August 2025, paid fortnightly. The team is automating the liquidity loan process, enabling projects to borrow up to $2 million in under 10 minutes without risking rug pulls. This automation, expected next week, aims to streamline onboarding and enhance scalability.
Roadmap and Future Plans
Upcoming features include integrating Layer One X with MOHSoft for private chain use by 20 August 2025, and a loan analyzer for BSC and Layer One X networks by 27 August. The team is also simplifying token swaps, allowing direct purchases from Ethereum to project tokens, increasing Layer One X coin demand. A community voting system for pool launches will reward QST token holders with project tokens, enhancing governance and engagement. XTalk open-sourcing and Quantum token listing on the DeX are planned for 1 September 2025.
Kevin hinted that there will be a surprise next month with the Release Pool algorithm, and they are working behind the scenes.
Market Insights and Ecosystem Growth
Mike noted Bitcoin’s sideways market trend and Layer One X’s stable price at around $187, expecting neutral movement. Kody emphasized the DeX’s role in addressing liquidity challenges, with the loan model and release pool fostering stability for projects. The team is engaging with multiple projects, some with ecosystems of their own, to build mini-flywheels within the Layer One X ecosystem, driving utility and demand.
Community
The team expressed gratitude for the community’s support, crediting it for driving transaction growth and positivity. While a mobile app is in demand, Kody clarified that it’s on the internal roadmap but requires further development to meet quality standards. Partnerships and upcoming Xtalk interviews were also teased, with a call for community topic suggestions via Discord or the Layer One X handle.
Layer One X’s focus on accessibility, transparency, and community-driven growth positions it as a robust platform in the evolving crypto landscape. Stay tuned for more updates as the team continues to innovate and expand.
