Paxi Network: Roadmap, Security Audit, and Why Today’s Listing Matters

Introduction

Paxi Network is a Cosmos SDK-based Layer 1 that focuses on modular architecture, secure token mechanics, and validator fairness. Today marks an important milestone as PAXI becomes publicly listed through MEXC’s Kickstarter program. This brings new visibility and accessible entry points for users and delegators.

As a validator operating on Paxi since the early phases, AstroStake aims to break down the project in a way that is technical enough to be accurate while still easy for anyone to understand.

Why Paxi Matters in the Cosmos Landscape

Paxi positions itself as an early-stage network built on stable foundations while experimenting with new staking and minting mechanics. Instead of launching with a full ecosystem immediately, Paxi prioritizes decentralization, validator diversity, and predictable token behavior.

Two design choices stand out:

Hybrid validator selection, combining deterministic and weighted random rotation to give smaller validators fair opportunities.
Custom mint and burn logic, enabling transparent control over supply and network incentives.

These features do not aim to compete with mature chains yet, but they give Paxi a clear identity as a fair and community-oriented network in Cosmos.

AstroStake’s Perspective as a Validator

From our experience operating a Paxi validator, the network itself has been smooth and dependable. Blocks are produced consistently, uptime is easy to maintain, and the overall behavior feels exactly like what we expect from a Cosmos SDK chain. From the technical side, everything looks healthy.

The delegation distribution, however, has been quite entertaining to observe. Some validators received noticeably larger delegations early on, while AstroStake is currently relaxing near the bottom of the active set with one of the smallest amounts staked to us. No complaints, just a lighthearted observation from our seat in the back row.

This kind of pattern is extremely normal for new Layer 1 networks. Early delegation flows often depend on many unpredictable factors such as who staked first, wallet distribution patterns, early community activity, or simply randomness. Sometimes it has nothing to do with performance or transparency, and that is completely fine.

The good part is that Paxi uses a hybrid validator selection model. Thanks to this, even validators with smaller delegations still get fair opportunities to participate in securing the chain. So despite our humble position at the bottom, AstroStake is still producing blocks reliably.

Validator ranking naturally changes over time, especially in early networks. As the network grows and more users explore the validator list, delegation patterns tend to balance out. We will keep doing what we always do: stay transparent, stay reliable, stay online, and enjoy the journey, even if our seat happens to be the one quietly waving from the last row.

AstroStake Transparency Report

One of our goals as a validator is to operate with full transparency, especially on early networks like Paxi. To support that, we maintain clear internal policies for slashing protection, operational safety, and validator accountability.

These documents are publicly available so delegators can verify exactly how we operate:

Slashing Policy: https://astrostake.xyz/slashing-policy

We value transparency as a long-term strategy for trust. Delegators deserve validators who operate responsibly, communicate clearly, and take network safety seriously.

Roadmap Overview in Simple Terms

Paxi’s roadmap outlines a progression from foundational stability toward interoperability and ecosystem growth. Here’s a simplified breakdown.

Community Onboarding (Q3 2025)

Initial tooling, validator onboarding, and community formation. This phase sets expectations for governance participation and operational consistency.

Wallet Integration (Q4 2025)

Keplr and Leap wallet integration opened the network to everyday users, enabling easy staking and transfers.

Security Audit (Q4 2025)

Paxi completed a formal audit with Oak Security focusing on its custommint and customstaking modules. No critical issues were found, and the major issues identified were resolved. These modules handle sensitive logic such as minting, burning, and validator selection, making the audit a crucial step.

Exchange Listing (Completed Today)

PAXI is officially listed today through a Kickstarter event. Listing brings liquidity, accessibility, and a broader user base — signaling Paxi’s transition from a validator-focused network into a publicly accessible ecosystem.

Cosmos IBC Integration (Q4 2025)

Paxi already supports IBC at the protocol and network level today, with several ICS20 transfer channels open and operational. This roadmap milestone corresponds to the period when IBC was rolled out and made usable in production, connecting Paxi to the wider Cosmos ecosystem.

Looking forward, further IBC work is less about “turning it on” and more about expansion: opening additional channels, deepening liquidity on connected chains, and strengthening relayer infrastructure.

PRC 20 Token Standard (Q1 2026)

The introduction of a native fungible token standard will enable broader utility: community tokens, incentive tokens, and foundational elements of DeFi.

Stablecoin Integration (Q2 2026)

Stablecoins are essential for real economic activity — payments, liquidity, and ecosystem incentives.

dApp Ecosystem Expansion (Q3 2026)

Paxi will begin opening doors to developers, enabling dApps, tools, and products to be built on the chain. This marks the shift from protocol development to user-facing applications.

Security Audit Explained Simply

The Oak Security audit confirmed that Paxi’s core modules are secure and well-implemented. Critical logic related to supply, staking, and validator selection has been tested and validated.

In simple terms: Paxi’s foundations are secure, and the project is putting serious effort into protocol safety.

Current Limitations and What to Expect

Like any early Layer 1, Paxi still has areas that need growth:

Application ecosystem still small
dApp development will pick up after PRC 20 and stablecoins
Liquidity improving post-listing and IBC expansion

These limitations are normal and expected at this stage.

What Today’s Listing Means

Today’s listing expands Paxi’s accessibility. It introduces new users, liquidity, and attention from builders and delegators. It also marks the beginning of broader ecosystem participation.

Conclusion

Paxi Network is still early, but its foundations are strong. With IBC already active, a completed audit, upcoming token standards, and stablecoin plans, the network is prepared for measured growth.

AstroStake remains committed to supporting Paxi with reliable infrastructure, transparency, and consistent uptime.

Ready to Delegate?

AstroStake is open for delegators who want reliability, clarity, and early participation in growing Cosmos networks. If you believe in supporting independent validators who operate transparently and consistently, we’d be glad to secure Paxi together.
