WORLD PREDICTIONS & PSYHIC INSIGHTS by Michelle Whitedove written Nov. 18, 2022 and first published on her Patreon Nov 20, 2022 - this is an excerpt of the 33 page report

WAR

NUKES. Just about a month ago, there was a strong feeling on the possible of use of nuclear weapons in the Russia-Ukraine war. Seems that's not the big sentiment right now. How do you feel about that today?   Russia doesn't like how things are playing out.  Please know that Putin and those men are killers. He is so MAD!! He's trying to make his move, but he's not going nuclear right now. Russia is looking at us and going, "What the hell? The West -“the conglomerate” Putin called it! Putin knows that the US government is not being run by We The People. The US is being run by corporations, the US Military Complex.  Putin still intends on bringing Russia back together for unification.               

The big heads are trying to come together to figure out what to do with this Ukraine-Russia-Nato-US War, because there is something going on with its finances.  The USA has sent $91 Billion to the Ukraine. How much has been a kickback to politicians – a lot!!  As we know all the money has been called in from the Vatican and everywhere… some-how there is a connection to this Ukraine-Russia War.  Nuclear War is still on the table, but they know that if they do - it will be the demise of everything. But it only takes the push of a button.  

THE BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

CHINA. The Republicans knew what they were doing and the Democrats wanted to get money from China, and nobody wants to talk about that on TV, because nobody talks about their dirty deals with China. That's the big elephant in the world and nobody wants to speak on it publicly. Why, because the global politicians sold us out to China. Congress has been and still is being lobbied by China and corporations are being given large donations and “gifts” to sway decisions in their favor. Many government officials and the Biden Family have been doing crooked business with the CCP for years. They got big money to be influenced and leveraged by the CCP and they did that out of personal greed, and this is the result. This is why the USA and many Governments around the world are bowing to the WEF and China. Where we are today is the direct result of blackmail, theft of funds, payoffs and corruption in its many forms. They have set us up for a destruction of freedom and allow China to infiltrate. The CCP plan is a communist global takeover; they want America, that is THE trophy!! 

Ireland. The CCP is looking for islands and land, ground, soil that will bear good crops. I see that China wants to take over Ireland. Will the Irish let that happen?

China and NK. Biden met Xi for more than three hours on Monday, ahead of the G20 summit in Bali, their first face-to-face meeting since Biden took power. Biden said he told Xi “they had an obligation to attempt to make it clear” to North Korea that it should not do another missile test. What will NK do?

Yeah. Well, North Korea, for years and years and years, they do some missile tests. They get a lot of reaction out of all the different governments. China eventually tells them, "Cut the Crap," They stop. They go quiet for a while, then they come back out and they do it again.   Lil’ Kim as I call the NK Dictator, oh he wants to do more. Oh yes, he would love to bomb Japan and Hawaii. I see him, he acts like an evil child playing video games; nuke them, blast them, kill them… that’s what he wants to do. China is the ONLY thing that keeps him in check. Lil’ Kim has no regard for human life, he’s so sick, he feels glee by starving his own people.

SOCIAL MEDIA & INFLUENCERS

Twitter. Will Elon Musk’s Twitter become a Trillion dollar company like Facebook, Instagram, TicTok?    Why does Joe Biden hate Musk?

Right now, Elon is so pissed off. Oh, my God.  All the industry leaders are so mad, because they know what's going on with the global economy and the poor decisions being made. Well, the smart ones are!! They know what is being done on a global level. That's why he bought Twitter.  

Elon Musk is an enigma, he likes being unpredictable.  Everybody is into social media and streaming; Twitter ain't going anywhere. Elon, he's for free speech. 
I see that he is He's already regrouping. He's rebuilding.  

Will Elon eventually create a Trillion Dollar Company. Yes!   Elon is so infuriated. Someone told me that Joe Biden had the audacity to say the other day, "We need to look into Elon’s business and see if he's compromised."  That’s funny when it’s Sleepy Joe that’s compromised.  

Spirit is saying Elon is building an army - a different kind of army though. He's looking for an army to scan everything from the skies, the planets, to the deep seas, to the north, to the south, to everywhere on Earth - he is gathering his army of specialists. Oh, my God. That's interesting; I’m going to remain quiet on that vision.  Although Elon has aspirations to reach the top of many industries.

Amazon. What is Amazon’s Jeff Bezos really up to? He just awarded Dolly Parton $100 million and said he’s giving away the rest of his “fortune”.

Right now, Jeff Bezos is giving money for the right reasons. It's for the good of humanity. Sure he’s doing the tax shelter thing. Right now he is in a really good place on a personal level. You see his partner or wife? Oh, she's giving him the love and keeping him stable and he doesn't even care about the money. Yes, he’s done a lot of bad stuff, but now he is doing some good things. That's good. Yeah. He's trying to redeem himself.

Background: Country music star and philanthropist Dolly Parton has received a $100m prize from the Bezos Courage & Civility Award, an honor that recognizes leaders who “pursue solutions with courage and civility”.  Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com and owner of the space rocket company Blue Origin, announced the award last week along with his longtime partner, news anchor Lauren Sanchez.

Banned. What Does spirit feel about Andrew Tate, his movement and his University to teach men how to build an empire.  Is he a Good guy exposing the matrix and the globalist Cabal trying to empower men, or bad guy?

Andrew Tate warning psychic prediction Michelle WHitedove

He's radical. Andrew Tate, he’s a man’s man, and it’s sad that deep down he hates women. Wow is he jaded. Spirit said he just put the biggest target on his head. He's so stupid, he's going to be knocked off if he’s is not careful. He’s a bigmouth  with a God complex. I would not look to him for advice. He’s not got a good heart.

Background Emory Andrew Tate III is an American-British Internet personality and former professional kickboxer. Following his kickboxing career, Tate began offering paid courses and memberships through his website and later rose to fame as an online influencer – then cancelled on most social media platforms for his language and bashing women. 

Meta. Will Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg's version of the Metaverse come to fruition as fully implemented - he recently did major layoffs?

I see that Zuckerberg is on a downward spiral ... he crashed, burned, and now they're trying to get him back up.  His life force is literally very low. It’s as if he has very little life left in him, in his eyes. But he doesn't understand that you're either clean or you're dirty. He's dirty. His Metaverse isn't doing very well. He has to regroup because he's so messed up in the head – literally.  I think he’s chipped, they gave him a God complex with a chip in it. They're chipping them now.  

Even with all of his money and his brains, he's struggling. He's trying. They're all just so shocked, all these guys that are running the world,  that they didn't think that the mighty would fall. Nobody knew who the mighty were, and now the mighty are coming out but they don't want to come out. They've been stripped down from everything. They're not the big dogs they thought they were.

Yeah. The Shadow Government has their own way of reality checking the big dogs by changing all social forms. If you look at what you're seeing on TV, people don't want it. They're looking for movies, or if they're on their phone chatting, because everybody wants to be loved and be social, but that takes real human interaction.  It all shallow and fake on the computer.  They just want us to be ants pounding our computer keys in the matrix.  

Well the good people of the world, we Americans, the souls that love life, we won't have it; we need joy, laughter. The people will take a stand, and we will stand and we stand in light and we will hold that light so the darkness doesn't take us.  So Please everyone, take good quality time away from your keyboards - - hang out with the people you love. That is where LIFE is, have a meal, have a drink and share some laughter. Make memories!!

THE GREAT RESET

MIDTERMS: It’s what we predicted it would be,  a “coin toss” and a “divided America.”  We predicted the Senate was a coin toss and that while the Republicans should take the House, anything can happen and it was not a slam dunk because “elections can be stolen.”  Well here we are today, people are still divided. 

JOE BIDEN: House Republicans just announced an investigation into President Joe Biden's family, including his son Hunter Biden, They are probing the Joe Biden Family on International Business deals, during a press conference that the probe looked at Hunter Biden's business dealings and Joe Biden's alleged involvement in them. At one point, he alleged that one Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), a type of document that banks have to file with the Treasury Department, "connects Hunter Biden and his business associates to international human trafficking, among other illegal activities."  Will this force Joe Biden to Resign?

Let me tell you. Joe is a pedophile and rapist and that's all he wants, and his wife is always trying to find him and all the Democrats are surrounding him, because he can't speak. He may look like a nice grandpa on the outside, but this guy is so sick and sadistic. He's just a stick with a mouth that the Democrats are speaking through, and the Republicans are like, "Oh, my God."  It seems like they can't indict him and he refused to resign. He's going to die.  Yeah. They're just going to make a big show of it. He'll just hang around and eventually he'll die or they will force him to resign.  

If they don't take Biden out of the equation, we're all doomed, the puppets that control him are crazy. They are. It's just everybody is trying to figure how to do it without the whole world knowing that we did it.  I can give you from God's voice to my ears that there is no way in God's heavenly kingdom that Joe Biden will be running next term. I can guarantee you that.

 BACKGROUND House Republicans announced an investigation into President Joe Biden's family, including his son Hunter Biden, on Thursday just a day after winning control of the lower chamber of Congress in the midterm elections. https://www.newsweek.com/republicans-announce-hunter-biden-probe-human-trafficking-1760429

2024 US VOTE: Do you see the voting system changing by the next election, where it is more authentic? Will it be changed? Yes. They'll make some changes to it.  We'll fight for that change. We'll fight for voting changes before the next presidential election. Well, people don't trust it, I've always said it's rigged. They better or everybody is going to go crazy. They have to start making some incremental improvements. 

Trump?  Remember when I predicted Trump would not back down and that he would run again.  Well, he just announced he will, but so many don’t want him to.  Yet so many prefer Desantis.  But that doesn’t matter to Trump.  He is running.  He's going to run.

VAX PASSPORTS: G20 is pushing for vaccine passports for international travel.  Will they get this passed?   G20, vaccine passports, No, People will rebel. They won't get it implemented the way they want.  No. 

Background:zerohedge.com/political/g20-declares-vaccine-passports-needed-future-international-travel “The G20 has issued a formal decree promoting vaccine passports as preparation for any future pandemic response in its final communique. Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin, speaking on the matter on behalf of the G20 host country, had earlier in the summit called for a "digital health certificate" using WHO standards. Sadikin advocated for that he dubbed a "digital health certificate" which shows whether a person has been "vaccinated or tested properly" so that only then "you can move around".

Prepping. Considering the Diesel supply shortage issues at hand, should we stock up on more than one week of food, a month , 2-3 months ? How are food shortages feeling to you now as the Northern hemisphere heads towards Winter? 

I'd say prep as much as you can. Let’s say six months get stocked up for 6 months to a year, because you are going to want to help others too. 

Power Outages.  Because our economy is falling and everybody is inside and everybody is hustling on the computer, we're soaking up so much from the energy grids. They want us to be happy and tuck us on our little houses and make like nothing is going on. But going fully electric is not the answer. We are drawing too much on the power grids – and this is not sustainable.  There will be more and more blackouts.  Do what you can in your house holds to lessen your usage: turn off lights that are not needed, unplug power cords. Stay prepped

Humanity Timeline. Hold on I see 2023, 24, 25. Okay, something big happens in 2025, They're scrambling. They're going to reset but the people are still leaving, many souls are going to go. When we start getting to 26, 27, 28, things are coming unstable again. Hold on. Then we're at 2030, it’s the breaking point of what do we do? Do we spread the love and the joy? Do we find peace and harmony or are we all going to kill each other? God's going to say, "Stand up for humanity Now." Then 31, 32, 33. We reset.

LOCATION:

South Florida, USA. Real Estate Question: Should I buy a rental in South Florida? Regarding rentals, especially in South Fl.  This is an area specific type of question and FL is very unique with so many homes being hit in certain areas (hurricane damage etc.). Not to mention, clearly, FL has more people moving in then leaving and you know what that does to rents.  It’s a supply and demand game.  In time, short term/vacation rentals will take a hit as people have less expendable income for travel and vacations.  You only invest in rentals if the math works and there is enough margin to cover economic down turns.  If the margin is too slim, then it is a risky business, even in good areas.   

Real estate is not the slam dunk many people think it is and prices are dropping just like we predicted they would.  It is a case by case question.  Push the ego aside and trust your gut.  Generally speaking about real estate, here is what I wrote a couple of weeks ago and it still applies: "REAL ESTATE. It’s playing out like we predicted. Higher rates have shocked the real estate markets and remember what I shared over a year ago “2021 would be good but sometime in 2022 things would turn and that would not be a great time to be a real estate agent. Markets are different in different areas, but as a general rule, real estate is going to be a tougher industry until rates come down. Sure, in certain areas with cash buyers that is one thing, but overall, in general terms, real estate is trending down now."


 SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS by Michelle Whitedove

UFO’s. Is it possible for many to look up into the sky and some see a UFO/UAP easily and clearly while others see nothing at all?  Well there are a couple of reasons. Some people are fearful, they attempt to look for UFO’s but their fear stops them. If you are truly open, you can call on them. Go outside, and telepathically say that you want to see them. Call them with your mind.  Have you read the Billy Meier story?   The Swiss man that photographed many UFO’s in the 1970’s – his photos are legit and he has an interesting story of how they would visit to him. At some point they just stopped coming, Spirit said that he became too jaded.  But Star Beings have the ability to cloak their UFO’s; they are not easy to see unless they WANT to be SEEN. Those beings and their technologies are far more advanced than we can comprehend. Also check out the documentary Capturing The Light this is a Canadian woman that documented craft visiting her for years also. These are both authentic stories.

Souls.  Who and what has a soul? Yes, humans do, animals do… but do ants and trees? And rocks? Aliens?  Do all souls reincarnate?  This is interesting (big smile) Well the elements are alive and they have consciousness, God created them to help sustain our lives: the Air, Water, Earth & Fire.  Yes that true, they are alive. That’s why with Prayer and especially group prayer we can help to manipulate those forces of Nature. You can actually move a hurricane, with group prayer, You can infuse water to change its structure … this is covered in the documentary The Secret of Water. Also know that Native Americans and all indigenous people will pray for rain and then it comes, they can call on the wind too.  Daily when I pray, I pray for our oceans and I send healing prayers to the waters and to the enlightened sentient beings – the whales and the dolphins. Maybe you will do this too?  

Insects and trees reincarnate within their own species. Star beings are just like human beings, we are all God’s children, we reincarnate depending on our spiritual development – there are many dimensions, realities and planets where we may choose to reincarnate for the souls growth. Earth is a just a speck at the end of the dragons tail  - also called the Milky Way.

Energy Enhancement System. Can you ask Spirit about the Energy Enhancement System from Dr. Sandra Rose Michael?  Yes I see a photo, as we know sound frequency and music can be successful healing modalities. Although with this machine, I feel that it needs more work.  Defiantly a placebo effect but I’m not seeing a great amount of permanent healing taking place.

Sleep. I occasionally feel like my brain downloads data when I sleep. Is this possible?   Yes, absolutely. You can down load information that you need while sleeping. You can ask your Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides for solutions.   

The famous psychic Edgar Cayce would channel his higher self while asleep in a trance-like state. As a child he would put a book under his pillow and the next day he would retain information that he needed.  And as I wrote before, Thomas Edison would focus on a problem with his invention and then take a “cat nap”
as he called it – many times he awoke with answers!!  Remember we are multidimensional beings and more powerful that we know!!

Predictions. Michelle giving thought to the cheating of 2020 US elections and nothing was really done, there were several trusted voices telling us to go and vote. But you Michelle have always been like: ..."it's the same rigged game"
... I sense there is more here. Are you able to tell something more about this? Why you transformed the message?                    

With Predictions, as I look into the future I see the rigging, I see more lock downs, I see another virus, I see they want to crash our global economy. At times it feels so hopeless, when I am given visions of the most probable future. Although Spirit tells us that “We Create Our Future”, so with positive actions and faith in action we can manipulate and create change. “Doing Nothing” always gives the same results.  So when Spirit gives a prediction that we don’t like - we can take action to move in the opposite direction to influence the outcome. We can lessen the effects, and sometimes with the right actions like changing laws, kicking out crooked people or we come together as a whole (like a revolution) we can change everything. Corruption is rampant. A peaceful revolution is what we need on a global scale – to be like Gandhi. And also Pray for Divine Intervention – this works wonders! 

Love. Peace. Harmony. The Love Dove wants to see some joy. And I want you to have it too! We need joy, we need laughter and we need more love in our lives. People need to start interacting with people, and animals, the forests, the ocean, and the things that God gifted us, instead of on electrical devices that give us cancer in the end.

The bottom line is we all want a piece of the pie, but everybody gets greedy, ok not everyone. The problem is that too many people are just sitting here trying to hustle and make it, using these machines 24/7 BUT we have to create balance and peace.

Can we just have some peace? Right now, everybody is just down because all the money, economies are down, so everybody is flipping out and they're doing crazy things and they're making crazy moves out of fear. Instead of being calm, rational, praying, meditating.

Get away from everything and everyone if you have to.   Sit with yourself, unwind yourself, rely on yourself, look back, then pay it forward, and then give a little bit more than you got. And then watch how your abundance flows.  Yes, I understand that a lot of people are here in our Patreon group, because they want to learn about cryptos and they want to make it big. But money is just a small part of the equation and it can't be the driving force in life. 

LOVE and your connections to others souls and to Great Spirit are the most valuable commodities in the universe.  So count your blessings and the people that you love.  And be sure to give a helping hand to those in need. Now is the time when our humanity is tested. Let your light shine!

I send you love and light,

Michelle Whitedove

PYTH: We'll Always Have Coldplay

Welcome back to The Epicenter, where crypto chaos meets corporate cringe.

But surprisingly, crypto has not been the most chaotic corner of the internet as of late.

That honor goes to the startup Astronomer, whose CEO’s cheating scandal broke the web in a glorious meme-fueled media frenzy. The company’s damage control? Hiring Gwyneth Paltrow as a “temporary spokesperson.” Do we think they’re grasping at straws or setting a new standard for PR?

Meanwhile, the markets didn’t blink. BTC is still flexing near its all-time highs. Michael Saylor’s bringing a bitcoin-adjacent money-market product to Wall Street. A pharma company just earmarked $700M to stack BNB, and analysts are calling time of death on the four-year crypto cycle. It’s a steady boom now, kittens.

A few things that are also worth noting: Winklevoss vs. JPMorgan, Visa’s take on stablecoins, and Robinhood’s Euro drama that defies the chillness of eurosummer.

Let’s get into it 👇

4 Fintech Companies 💸& Things To Know About 🤔

The fintech revolution is reshaping the way we manage, invest, and move money, breaking down traditional barriers and empowering individuals worldwide. As financial technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, a select group of innovative companies are leading the charge by offering groundbreaking solutions that redefine banking, payments, and digital assets. Whether you’re a savvy investor, an industry professional, or simply curious about the future of finance, discovering these trailblazing fintech companies is essential to understanding today’s dynamic financial landscape.

 

  1.  Alina Invest - The AI Wealth Manager for GenZ Women

Alina is aimed at women under 25 who identify as beginner investors. They're an SEC-registered investment advisor that charges $120/year for membership. The service "buys and sells for you" and gives up notification updates of recent transactions like a wealth manager would.

👉 Getting people to invest early is crucial to building long-term wealth. One thing that holds them back is a lack of confidence and experience. Being targetted "for beginners" and people who live on TikTok should appeal. I love the sense of "we're buying and selling for you." Funds always do that, but making it an engagement mechanic is very smart. The risk here is that building a wealth business will take decades for the AUM to compound. But the next generations, Wealthfront or Betterment, will look something like Alina.

2. Blue layer - The Carbon project funding platform

Bluelayer allows Carbon project developers to take from feasibility studies to issuing credits, tracking inventory, and managing orders. Developers of reforestation, conservation, direct air capture, and other projects can also directly report to industry registries. 

👉 Carbon investing and tax credits are heavily incentivized but need transparent data. By focusing on the developers, Bluelayer can ensure the data, reporting, and credits lifecycle is all managed at the source. This is smart.

3. Akirolabs - Modern Procurement for enterprise

Akiro is a "strategic" procurement platform aiming to help enterprise customers identify risks, value drivers, and strategic levers before issuing an RFP. It aims to bring in multiple stakeholders for complex purchasing decisions at multinationals. 

👉 Procurement is a great wedge for multinational corporate transformation. Buying anything in an enterprise that uses large-scale ERPs is a nightmare of committees and spreadsheets. Turning an oil tanker-sized organization around is difficult, but the right suppliers can have a meaningful impact in the short term. That only works if you can buy from them. Getting people on the same page with a single platform is a great start.

4. NeoTax - Automated Tax R&D Credits

NeoTax allows companies to connect their engineering tools to calculate available tax advantages automatically. Once calculated, the tax fillings are clearly labeled with supporting evidence for the IRS.

👉 AWS and GCP log files and data are a goldmine. Last week, I covered Bilanc, which uses log files to figure out per-account unit economics. Now, we calculate R&D tax credits. The unlock here is LLM's ability to understand unstructured data. The hard part is understanding the moat, but time will tell.

In an era where technology and finance are increasingly intertwined, these four fintech companies stand out as catalysts for positive change. By driving progress in digital payments, asset management, lending, and decentralized finance, they are not only making financial services more accessible and efficient—they are also paving the way for a more inclusive and empowered global economy. Staying informed about their innovations can help you seize new opportunities and take part in the future of finance.

 

đź‘€Things to know đź‘€

 

PayPal issued low guidance and warned of a “transition year.” The stock is down 8% in extended trading despite PayPal reporting a 9% growth in revenue and 23% EBITDA. Gross profit is down 4% YoY. PayPal's total revenues were $29Bn for the year

Adyen reported 22% revenue growth and an EBITDA margin of 46% for the full year. Adyen's total revenues were $1.75bn for the full year. The margin was down from 55% the previous year, impacted by hiring ahead of growth.

🤔 PayPal’s Braintree (unbranded) is losing market share in the US, while Adyen is winning it. eCommerce is growing ~9 to 10% YoY, and PayPal’s transaction revenue grew by 6.7%. The higher interest rate environment meant interest on balances dragged up the total revenue figure. Their core business is losing market share. Adyen is outgrowing the market by ~12%.

🤔 The PayPal button (branded) is losing to SHOP Pay and Apple Pay. The branded experience from Apple and Shopify is delightful for users; it’s fast and helps with small details like delivery tracking. That experience translates to higher conversion (and more revenue) for merchants.

🤔 The lack of a single global platform hurts PayPal, but it helps Adyen. In the earnings call, the new CEO admitted their mix of platforms like Venmo, PayPal, and Braintree are holding them back. They aim to combine and simplify, but that’s easier said than done.

🤔 Making a single platform from PayPal, Venmo, and Braintree won’t be easy. There’s a graveyard of payment company CEOs who tried to make “one platform” from things they acquired years ago. It’s crucial if they’re going to grow that they get their innovation edge back. Adyen has one platform in every market.

🤔 PayPal’s UK and European acquiring business is a bright spot. The UK and EU delivered 20% of overall revenue, growing 11% YoY. Square and Toast don’t have market share here, while iZettle, which PayPal acquired in 2018, is a strong market player. Overall though, it’s yet another tech stack and business that’s not part of a single global platform.

The two banks provided accounts to UK front companies secretly owned by an Iranian petrochemicals company. PCC has used these entities to receive funds from Iranian entities in China, concealed with trustee agreements and nominee directors. 

🤔 This is the headline every bank CEO fears. Oof. Shares of both banks have been down since the news broke, but this will no doubt involve crisis calls, committees, appearing in front of the regulator, and, finally, some sort of fine.

🤔 The "risk-based approach" has been arbitraged. A UK company with relatively low annual revenue would look "low risk" at onboarding. One business the FT covered looked like a small company at a residential address to compliance staff. They'd likely apply branch-level controls instead of the enterprise-grade controls you'd see for a large corporation. 

🤔 Hiring more staff won't fix this problem; it's a mindset and technology challenge. In theory, all of the skill and technology that exists to manage risks with large corporate customers (in the transaction banking divisions) are available to the other parts of a bank. In practice, they're not. Most banks lack a single data set and the ability for compliance officers in one team to see data from another part of the org. Getting the basics right with data and tooling is incredibly hard and will involve a multi-year effort. 

🤔 These things are rarely the failure of an individual or department; the issue is systemic. While two banks are named in this headline, the issue is everywhere. Banks need more data and better data to train better AI and machine learning. That all needs to happen in real-time as a compliment to the human staff. Throwing bodies at this won't solve the visibility issue teams have.

What is XAH and Xahau?

If you're new to XRP, you may have noticed some of us discussing another network named 'Xahau'.

It's Like XRP ... But Different

The Xahau network was created in 2023, and its starting point was the open-source code for the XRP Ledger. A small team of researchers and entrepreneurs decided to add smart contracts to the network code.


The XRP Ledger has no smart contract capabilities, by default.

To integrate smart contracts, the team decided to use an architecture that includes 'WASM' or 'web assembly' code. Each account can have up to 10 'hooks' installed that are triggered for transactions that match specific criteria. They can run before or after a transaction is processed. This enables a variety of use cases that do not involve the need to change the network's core code.

Hooks

A 'hook' is what is known as a smart contract that can be triggered in relation to a specific account and its transactions.

The term arises from the programming world, where it generally means "code that runs based on triggering conditions." In Xahau's case, it indicates code that is run before, or after, a transaction is processed.
 
Each hook must be installed on a specific account by the party that controls the account - i.e., the secret key holder.
 
What Can XAH Do That XRP Cannot?
 
The primary benefit from the use of hooks, is that the core network code does not need to be changed every time a new use case is identified. This means that additional use cases can be addressed immediately, with no requirement for intervening steps, such as:
  • Community review
  • Community approval
  • Amendment voting
All of those steps are eliminated with the use of hooks; new use cases can be addressed as fast as the code can be developed.
 
To read more about how hooks enables Xahau to handle more use cases than even the XRPL, you can read this article:
 
Key Differences From XRP
 
Other unique differences from the XRP Ledger include:
  • Much smaller supply ~612 million coins vs. 100 billion coins
  • XAH hodlers are rewarded at 4% of their account balance. There are no rewards for XRP.
  • Governance participants are incentivized
  • Payment channels available for user-created tokens (IOUs)
  • URI tokens instead of NFT tokens
Who's Who of Xahau?
 
The list of those that are either founders, or closely associated with the founding organizations, is extensive. Here are the names of three organizations mentioned in the whitepaper, or their current moniker:
  • Xaman (a.k.a. XRPL Labs)
  • Gatehub
  • InFTF (Inclusive Financial Technology Foundation)
There exists a long list of impressive developers, architects, and technologists among the Xahau inner circle. But the three names that people associate most prominently with the leadership of the Xahau network are Wietse Wind, Richard Holland, and Denis Angell. The links to their 'X' accounts are:
 
Friend Or Foe?
 
This topic is one of the most contentious.
 
While Ripple, the company with the largest stake of XRP, showed interest in hooks early on, they ultimately decided to advocate for a different approach; the use of an EVM-based solution (Ethereum Virtual Machine) to handle smart contracts on the XRP Ledger. This decision was met with consternation by the Xaman team that had worked with them for several years to advocate for the use of hooks.
 
You can read more about the 'business politics' part of this topic here:
 
So how do Xahau fans view the relationship between XRP and XAH?
 
The Xahau team - and many of its community members - advocate for the use of a 'dual-chain' solution to implement smart contracts. This can be accomplished by the use of 'listener' software, along with native Xahau hooks.
 
A proof of concept, developed by Denis Angell, has demonstrated that bi-lateral communication can work with a simple approach.
 
From an economic standpoint, every chain that has its own digital asset is a competitor; but the simple way to think about Xahau, is that a 'bunch of XRP geeks' decided to implement smart contracts on their own version of the XRP Ledger.
 
The team emphasized transparency along the way, and initially received support from the primary XRP stakeholder, Ripple. They published Xahau as open-source code that could, in theory, be back-engineered and integrated with the XRP Ledger. You can clearly observe the team's idealistic mindset in early marketing mistakes, where they named their digital asset 'XRP Plus' in an effort to emphasize the way that they viewed their creation. While this resulted in confusion - and even suspicion - in its early days, the team quickly pivoted, and named their digital asset 'XAH', which became its ticker symbol.
 
Synergy effects between the two camps speak to a genuine camaraderie, with many Xahau developers being open and willing to help with changes to the core XRP Ledger protocol. You can find many examples of this open dialogue on the 'X' platform.
 
How To Purchase XAH
 
If you wish to speculate by buying XAH directly, it is available in a variety of convenient locations, depending on where you are located. If you're in a country that is supported by Bitrue, you can directly purchase or trade XAH by using that exchange.
 
On January 20th, 2025, Bitmart announced that it supports trading of XAH for customers in their list of supported countries; And in late March, another major exchange announced that they would be supporting XAH trading pairs: Coinex.
 
If you're located in the United States, you can purchase XAH directly from a vendor known as 'C14'. The xApp for C14 is located in the Xaman wallet.
 
XRP Ledger geeks can also purchase XAH IOUs on the XRPL Dex and then convert them to 'real' XAH using a Gatehub bridge. This is available in countries that Gatehub supports.
 
Which XAH Accounts Should I Follow?
 
On the 'X' platform, there exists two major community groups for XAH fans:
In addition to the Xahau notables I've already mentioned in this article, my advice is to take a look at who is posting in the above two communities. There are many impressive leaders and entrepreneurs included. You should be able to find multiple 'X' accounts that reflect your interests.
 
Xahau Development Roadmap
 
Xahau leaders have published a roadmap for 2025 that lists their various goals for the ecosystem:
 
To read a detailed explanation for each item, refer to this: Xahau Roadmap Super Thread
 
One of the most incredible waypoints listed is 'JavaScript Hooks Implementation.' 🤯
JavaScript!
 
With the 'JavaScript Hooks Implementation', Xahau is making history; it will enable anybody that knows JavaScript to easily create and install a smart contract. While networks like Ethereum are impressive early movers, they require developers to learn a new language and syntax.
 
Xahau will soon open 'crypto smart contracts' to a group of developers that number in the tens of millions.
 
Project L-10K
 
Project L-10K is one of the most important items in the pipeline. L-10K refers to the effort to boost the throughput of Xahau consensus to over 10,000 transactions per ledger! This will benefit hosted projects such as Evernode, and future issued assets. Heading up the effort is Richard Holland, who provided a progress update to the community in late May of 2025:
