What is XYO?
XYO started with a simple idea: data should be trusted, not guessed. Through the COIN app, we built a network of over 10 million nodes, showing that everyday people can help power a decentralized infrastructure. Today, XYO is a decentralized data protocol and one of the largest DePINs in the world. It connects real-world data to both Web2 and Web3, using blockchain, cryptography, and Proof of Location to prove where, when, and how events happen. This makes XYO a key layer between the digital and physical worlds, with real uses in AI, logistics, real-world assets (RWA), gaming, smart cities, and more.
XYO Layer One Blockchain
At the center of the ecosystem is XYO Layer One, a blockchain purpose-built for data. It introduces key features:
Permanent Data Storage – Store hashes of off-chain data with cryptographic integrity.
Sovereign Chains – Launch application-specific chains with complete data control.
Bound Witness Trees – Validate batches of data through root-hash proofs.
Data Rollups – Compress datasets for scalable, low-cost processing.
Multi-Chain Interoperability – Connect with both Web2 and Web3 systems.
Core Technologies & Solutions
XYO uses proprietary technology that runs throughout the ecosystem, making data accurate, verifiable, and traceable across both digital and physical systems. Its modular architecture and Bound Witness protocol create a strong backbone for DePIN networks, Web3 apps, and Web2 enterprises, establishing XYO as a foundation for trusted digital-physical interactions.
Together, these systems create a framework for trustworthy, verifiable digital-physical interactions.
Proof of Location
Real-time validation, anti-spoofing protection, and verifiable location data you can trust.
Ground-Truth Validation
Verify real-world user actions and enable unique interactions with your product.
Proof of Origin
Confirm where data originated, the order in which it was generated, and whether it has remained unaltered.
Dual-Token System: XYO & XL1
XYO Layer One operates on a dual-token model that separates governance and utility:
XYO Token: A deflationary token used for staking, securing the network, and anchoring long-term trust and alignment.
XL1 Token: An inflationary (~0.7% p.a.) utility token used for transactions, gas fees, smart contracts, and daily network operations.
This design keeps the network stable, scalable, and flexible for both users and developers.
DePIN Nodes & COIN App
Through COIN, XYO’s data node app, anyone can participate by turning their smartphone into a node. These devices collect data and earn XYO in return, lowering the barrier to entry for decentralized infrastructure.
