# XL1 Token The XL1 Token ($XL1) is a new token launched in 2025 by the XYO team as part of the rollout of [**XYO Layer One**](/xyo-layer-one/what-is-xyo-layer-one.md), a blockchain designed to support the [XYO ecosystem](/about-xyo/what-is-xyo.md). $XL1 is on the XYO Layer One blockchain. It serves as the **gas token** of the XYO Layer One blockchain and plays a critical role in powering transactions, rewarding staking participants, and enabling decentralized applications across the network. ### When Was $XL1 Launched? * **Announced:** Early 2025 * **Mainnet Launch:** September 2025 * **Supply: $**XL1 will have a TGE during the Genesis Era The XL1 Token was introduced as part of a broader initiative to improve the scalability, utility, and sovereignty of the XYO ecosystem through a dedicated blockchain infrastructure. ### What Does the XL1 Token Do? $XL1 is the core utility token for XYO Layer One and is used to: * Pay gas [fees](/xyo-layer-one/architecture/transaction-fees.md) for on-chain transactions * Power smart contracts and decentralized applications * Reward participants inside the blockchain who maintain or contribute to the network * Enable low-cost, high-frequency interactions across the ecosystem. ### How Does $XL1 Relate to the XYO Token? While [$XYO](/xyo-layer-one/dual-token-model/xyo-token.md) remains the **staking and security token** of the ecosystem, $XL1 is focused on **utility and throughput**. Together, they form a **dual-token model**: * **XYO:** Used for staking, governance, and securing the network * **XL1:** Used for gas, smart contracts, and incentivizing participation This separation allows XYO to maintain long-term value while $XL1 handles the dynamic needs of a growing Layer One blockchain. ### Who Uses $XL1? * Developers building on [XYO Layer One](/xyo-layer-one/what-is-xyo-layer-one.md) * Users performing transactions or interacting with smart contracts * Partners integrating geospatial data and decentralized infrastructure * COIN App users exploring the new features enabled by XYO’s blockchain ecosystem --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
