XYO is a decentralized physical infrastructure network and Layer 1 blockchain built to record cryptographic proofs for real-world data, co-founded by Arie Trouw, Scott Scheper, and Markus Levin. XYO's Twitter Score is 34 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #28,612 (top 10%) among 486,621 tracked accounts.
XYO was co-founded toward the end of 2017, with its first XYO Token minted in early 2018, making it one of the earliest projects in the DePIN category. The network operates through nodes that capture and verify real-world data, including location data, across a distributed infrastructure. According to its official website, XYO has recorded more than 10 million node installs, operates across more than 150 countries, has paid more than $10 million to network nodes, and has seen more than 5 billion XYO tokens earned through its app. XYO is also affiliated with XY Labs.
XYO runs a dual-token system on its Layer One chain: $XYO handles staking, governance, and network security, while $XL1 serves as the native gas and utility token for smart contracts, transactions, and participation incentives. $XL1 launched in 2025, with mainnet going live in September 2025. The chain is designed to keep payload data off-chain while anchoring cryptographic proofs on-ledger, keeping the architecture lightweight. In May 2026, XYO announced an AI SDK providing tooling for anchoring proofs of real-world information to XYO Layer One.
XYO powers COIN, a mobile data-node platform through which participants contribute real-world data to its Proof of Location network and earn rewards redeemable for XYO tokens, other digital assets, or physical items. XYO has published 10,252 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 224 accounts a total of 764 times. XYO's portfolio includes Analog and NATIX Network.
