WAX
Arielle Brechisci, Content ManagerYou may have heard the numerous discussions taking place about REX recently, the EOS feature that allows stakers of EOS tokens to rent out their unused system resources to other users. Since any feature changes can have a major impact on chain operations, the WAX Blockchain development team carefully considers which features to build, add, or omit. We chose not to implement REX, and in hindsight, this was the correct move. As a result of not implementing REX, the WAX Blockchain today is a much cheaper and more stable system from a resource perspective than other EOSIO sister chains that added REX. For the full details on why we didn't implement REX and what it means for WAX, read our latest blog post: go.wax.io/4s8
Why WAX didn’t implement REX | Worldwide Asset eXchange
We didn’t implement REX because we believed that doing so would disincentivize people from staking their WAX Tokens since they could simply rent resources cheaper instead. It was also clear that implementing REX would add some volatility to the cost of transactions.
