# XYO Cheatsheet

### What is XYO?

XYO is a ecosystem and protocol built to make data trusted, permanent, and valuable without relying on middlemen. It includes:

* A global DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) of over 10 million nodes
* A Layer One blockchain optimized for real-world, data-heavy applications
* A mobile app (COIN) where users contribute real-world data
* Tools to validate and verify data for use in AI, logistics, games, and more

### What makes XYO different?

Most blockchains are built for finance.\
XYO is built for **data**.

* It’s not just about tokens. It’s about who creates data, who verifies it, and who gets rewarded.
* It’s not a speculation-first protocol. It’s a utility-first network.

### XYO Stats & Ecosystem Highlights

* Over **10 million** global nodes, making XYO one of the largest DePINs in the world
* Used in real-world applications across AI, logistics, games, and infrastructure
* Technologies like **Proof of Location** and **Proof of Origin** enable high-trust data validation
* Purpose-built Layer One blockchain now live and optimized for scale

### Dual-Token Model

XYO uses a two-token architecture to support its growing ecosystem:

#### XYO Token

* Externally traded on major exchanges including Coinbase
* Supports the DePIN economy
* Used for rewards, staking, and governance
* Deflationary supply model to increase long-term scarcity

#### XL1 Token

* Native token of the XYO Layer One Blockchain
* Used for gas fees, smart contract execution, and on-chain activity
* Designed for performance and scalability within the Layer One network

This model ensures that developers and enterprises have a seamless experience building on-chain, while also preserving long-term value and sustainability for the entire ecosystem.

A major capital raise is currently underway for XL1, aimed at accelerating growth and onboarding new data-intensive applications into the network.

### Real-World Legal and Business Milestones

* First U.S. crypto company qualified for a Regulation A offering by the SEC
* Enables share purchases by both accredited and non-accredited investors
* Tokenized and listed equity ($XYLB) on tZERO, making XY Labs a pioneer in the RWA tokenization space

This blend of consumer participation, regulatory compliance, and real-world utility makes XYO uniquely positioned to grow with trust and transparency.

### TL;DR

**If you can trust the data, you can trust the outcome.**

Everything we build — XYO Layer One, the dual-token $XYO & $XL1 model, COIN App, and more — is built to support that mission.
