XYO is a DePIN ecosystem of consumer software, developer tools, a decentralized network, and digital assets. XYO facilitates and incentivizes the aggregation, validation, and use of decentralized data. Built around the XYO token, the XYO ecosystem accumulates and circulates data such that individual and organizational participants in the ecosystem retain control over their own data - also known as data sovereignty - and can be rewarded for the use of their data with the XYO token. Data use is incentivized by providing immutable, tamper-resistant, blockchain data for a wide variety of possible uses, including AI modeling, metaverse applications, and data analytics.

XYO works by incentivizing users to participate in data submission and collection through various means, including the accumulation of digital assets like the XYO token and a variety of services provided by XYO. Anonymous data submitted this way is then permanently and immutably made part of XYO’s decentralized data network, and the user may opt out from submitting further data at any time. XYO and third party developers can then tap into that data using XYO’s suite of software and tools, including SDKs, documentation, and APIs. Transactions to receive data are paid in XYO tokens, maintaining the economic cycle within the system.
