What is a play-to-earn game?
A play-to-earn game connects gameplay performance with digital-asset or crypto-token rewards. Different games use different models: rewards might depend on achievements, competition, ownership, time spent or other conditions.
In Xenigma, the relevant activity is a short aim challenge rather than passive clicking or simply holding an asset. A player must produce a valid score, compete on the leaderboard and meet the current eligibility rules. Eligible Xenigma players receive XNT on the X1 network under the active cycle rules.
How rewards work: Xenigma rewards the eligible top 30% of ranked players through the active XNT cycle. The live leaderboard, timer, displayed vault and cycle rules determine distribution. Terms apply.
How Xenigma’s play-to-earn model works
Create or load the browser wallet
The X1 wallet is associated with gameplay and any successfully distributed XNT. Export and securely save its private key before receiving or depositing tokens.
Check the live game terms
Review the current round fee, faucet availability, cycle countdown, leaderboard, vault information and reward wording before entering.
Play the 90-second aim round
Move with a mouse or finger. The laser fires automatically. Hitting the requested target adds one point; hitting the wrong target removes one.
Post a valid best score
The final score is submitted to the Xenigma server. Your highest valid score in the active cycle determines your leaderboard position.
Reach the eligible ranking range
The live interface identifies the top 30% as the eligible group under the active current-cycle rules.
Wait for the cycle distribution
The cycle timer completes before rewards are distributed. Xenigma also displays a separate rolling Rank 7/7 competition.
Receive XNT in the associated wallet
When the cycle completes, eligible XNT is sent to the player’s X1 wallet. Terms apply.
Why Xenigma is skill-based
Accuracy changes the score
Correct and incorrect hits have opposite effects, so random movement can reduce the result.
Reaction speed matters
Players must identify each requested color and shape while the 90-second clock continues.
Control matters
Short, deliberate mouse or finger movement helps avoid nearby incorrect targets.
Only the best result ranks
More rounds do not add their scores together; a replay helps only if it improves the best valid score.

Can you play Xenigma without buying crypto?
Yes—when faucet XNT is available, the in-game faucet can provide XNT for gameplay. Check the live control for the current amount and cooldown.
Purchased, deposited or otherwise acquired XNT can also cover the displayed gameplay access fee, similar to an arcade token.
Simple starting sequence: create the wallet, export its private key, check the faucet and fee, learn the controls, and only then decide whether to enter a round.
