XYO has launched XYO Layer 1, a blockchain for high-volume, real-time data applications, introducing a dual-token model with XYO for governance and XL1 for network utility.
XYO, the first and one of the largest DePIN project with over 10 million nodes worldwide, has launched XYO Layer 1.
The blockchain is designed to support industries that rely on large-scale, real-time data, such as AI, logistics, cloud services, and tokenized RWAs, offering accurate, verifiable data at scale for developers, businesses, and everyday users. For example, AI companies can use XYO Layer 1 to access continuous streams of validated data for training models, while logistics firms can track shipments in real time with verified location and environmental information, improving efficiency and decision-making.
According to a press release shared with crypto.news, XYO decided to launch its own blockchain after 7+ years in the industry, as existing networks could not meet the demands of high-efficiency, data-focused applications.
Alongside the launch of Layer 1, XYO has introduced a dual-token system to complement its original XYO token, which was launched in 2018 and serves as the primary token for DePIN rewards, governance, payment, security and staking roles.
The new XL1 token will serve as the native token of XYO Layer 1, enabling everyday network functions such as gas fee payments, transaction processing, blockchain operations, priority fees, and rewards for node operators.
XL1 is earned by staking XYO, which locks the original token within the XYO Layer 1 ecosystem. This staking and reward system is expected to keep a substantial portion of XYO’s circulating supply locked long-term, ensuring ongoing network security, stability, and alignment of incentives for participants within the ecosystem.
XYO will first migrate its own products to the new Layer One, followed by key partners.



Market participants are eagerly anticipating at least a 25 basis point (BPS) interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday. The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is expected to begin slashing interest rates on Wednesday, with analysts expecting a 25 basis point (BPS) cut and a boost to risk asset prices in the long term.Crypto prices are strongly correlated with liquidity cycles, Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin said. However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction. “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
