Since everything on Xahau involves having an activated account, this article explains the various way you can activate yours.

The Five ways

The first XAH coin is locked by the Xahau network and is used to cover the base reserve (wallet reserve) requirement of the Xahau network. It can not be accessed, spent or recovered.

  1. Activate an existing XRP Ledger (XRPL) account.

  2. Buy XAH tokens on the XRPL DEX, sending them to your GateHub account and activate your Xahau account from GateHub

  3. Buy XAH coins/tokens on the GateHub platform and activate your Xahau from your account with them
