A decentralized rideshare platform uses XYO Layer One to log each ride’s start and end location, time, and fare data. This creates a blockchain-based history of ride activity that is transparent and verifiable.
Every ride in the platform’s history is kept permanently on-chain. As the number of rides grows into the millions, each node must store and index the full history to function—slowing down operations and increasing storage costs.
The platform only keeps the most recent ride data—say, the last 100,000 rides—in active memory. Older ride data is archived and available if needed, but no longer burdens the system’s daily performance.
Improves block validation speed
Reduces the node’s hardware demands
Enables greater decentralization
A decentralized social media app built on XYO rewards users for publishing and engaging with content. Every post, comment, and like is a transaction that gets logged to the blockchain.
All user activity remains in memory and must be constantly indexed by every node—even years-old posts. This bloats the blockchain and strains the ability of smaller nodes to participate in the network.
Only recent user actions—such as posts and interactions from the last 30 days—are kept readily accessible. Older activity is moved to a backup layer where it can still be queried, but doesn’t slow down core processes.
Faster network operation
More equitable node participation
Lower infrastructure requirements
