XYO is a decentralized ecosystem known as a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) designed to empower users with data sovereignty while facilitating the aggregation and validation of decentralized data. The ecosystem is built around the XYO token, which powers various components, including a network, software suite, developer tools, and an emerging API platform. XYO’s mission is to create a fully trustless oracle that enables both Web3 and Web2 users to securely and autonomously manage and monetize their data.
Launched in January 2018 by XY Labs, Inc., XYO was initially focused on providing a decentralized, trustless location oracle. Over the years, the project has expanded to accommodate a broader range of data types, allowing it to serve more diverse markets, including AI, metaverse applications, and data analytics. In doing so, XYO has maintained its commitment to data sovereignty—ensuring that participants in the ecosystem retain control over their data while being rewarded for its use.
