eXlinks (exponential links) is a site that Kinetiq, the team behind BlogMad and Vault9, are going to launch. Currently, they are accepting pre-launch sign-ups and referrals.
Not many details have been released regarding eXlinks, but I have been told it will run side-by-side with BlogMad and will link social networking with links, though it will greatly differ from XFN.
The site seems to be some sort of link exchange, where you link to those in your online social circles. The bigger your network, the bigger the rewards. These rewards will, naturally, be links, traffic and readers. While link swapping is pretty Web 1.0, social link swapping sounds pretty Web 2.0 to me.
Apparently, referring users will be very important, so personally I suggest you sign up and start referring so later you can rake in the rewards. 
I’m going to be following this project much like how I followed BlogMad. Hopefully, I’ll soon have more to report.
