# Two Tokens, One Ecosystem

XYO Layer One uses a dual-token model to create a powerful, scalable blockchain ecosystem optimized for DePIN, data, and AI applications. This structure separates the foundational and transactional layers of the network, ensuring long-term sustainability without compromising speed or usability. The two tokens—$XYO and $XL1—each serve a distinct purpose that contributes to the health and growth of the network.

$XYO is a deflationary token with a fixed supply. It is designed for [staking](/xyo-layer-one/staking.md) and securing the network, offering long-term value alignment and stability. Token holders who stake $XYO contribute to the structural integrity of the blockchain, reinforcing trust and decentralization across the ecosystem.

$XL1, by contrast, is the utility token that powers day-to-day activity on XYO Layer One. It is described as inflationary, but this inflation is deliberately restrained. The inflation rate approaches 0.7% per year. $XL1 is used for gas [fees](/xyo-layer-one/architecture/transaction-fees.md), smart contract execution, real-time rewards, and other core functions of the blockchain. XL1 is effectively deflationary through active use. This design ensures that XYO Layer One maintains an economic balance, even while supporting high-throughput applications.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xyo.network/about-xyo/xyo-101/xyo-layer-one/off-chain-data-producers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
