The project is affiliated with XY Labs, the XYO Foundation, and COIN, and its XYO token is deployed on Ethereum under the contract labeled "XYO Foundation: XYO Token" on Etherscan. XYO has built out one of the largest DePIN networks in the world, with its COIN app accumulating over 10 million nodes and more than 10 million installs globally.
XYO has since expanded into a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain, XYO Layer One, designed specifically for verifiable data workloads. Its architecture includes permanent data storage, sovereign chains, Bound Witness Trees, data rollups, and multi-chain interoperability. The network operates on a dual-token model, with XYO used for staking and network security, and XL1 serving as the gas and smart contract execution token.
