XYO
XYO is a decentralized 'reality engine' and Layer One blockchain that generates cryptographic proof for real-world and digital events, anchoring data origin, time, and integrity on-chain without storing the underlying payload. It serves AI developers, robotics companies, enterprises, and individual node operators (via the COIN app) who need verifiable, tamper-resistant data.

Description
XYO is a proof layer for real-world and digital data, built to let AI systems, robots, and applications verify the origin, timing, and integrity of data without trusting a centralized intermediary. Its core infrastructure, XYO Layer One (XYO L1), is a lightweight blockchain optimized for anchoring cryptographic proofs using a consensus mechanism called Proof of Perfect, alongside technologies like Proof of Location, Proof of Origin, and Ground-Truth Validation. The ecosystem runs on a dual-token model: $XYO, the structural token used for staking and securing the network, and $XL1, the activity token used for gas, settlement, and block rewards. XYO provides SDKs (including an AI-focused SDK, JS SDK, React Chain Client, and Data Lake CLI) for developers to build verifiable applications, and the COIN mobile app lets everyday users contribute real-world data and earn $XYO rewards. Founded in 2012 as XY Labs by Arie Trouw and Markus Levin, with XYO established in 2018, the network serves enterprises, developers, and consumers across use cases such as AI verification, robotics, mobility, logistics, and data authenticity.Grant Funding
