About XL1
XL1 is the utility token of XYO Layer One, a groundbreaking scalable data blockchain designed to securely bring verifiable information on-chain. This token facilitates gas and transaction fee payments, while a portion of these fees is burned through network activity. XL1 enhances the functionality of smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), and rewards for validators. It also enables bridging and wrapping to connect with other blockchain networks and encourages user engagement through staking and performance-based rewards.
The XYO Layer One ecosystem operates on a dual-token model, where XL1 serves as the operational token of the blockchain, and XYO supports the contributor network focused on rewards, governance, and security. XYO utilizes a decentralized network of over 10 million nodes to collect and verify real-world data, enabling companies in both Web2 and Web3 to integrate trustworthy information into their applications. This network leverages unique technologies like Proof of Location and Proof of Origin, which are essential for applications in real-world assets, location-based gaming, and geospatial intelligence.
With an initial supply of 38 billion XL1 tokens, approximately 5.7 billion will be circulating at launch. The long-term inflation rate is projected at around 0.7% annually following the initial emission phase. The majority of tokens are allocated for network emissions to support node operators, while team and investor tokens are subject to delayed cliffs and extended vesting periods.
What sets XYO Layer One apart is its innovative use of Proof of Origin and Proof of Location. These technologies allow devices to verify data lineage and proximity, ensuring that applications can trust the source and integrity of the data before it is processed by smart contracts. The architecture is optimized for handling high-volume data, utilizing advanced techniques like step hashing and bound witness trees to efficiently compress and verify extensive data flows within a unified ledger.
Currently, XYO Layer One is operational, with ongoing development focused on key milestones such as wallet releases, bridging capabilities, staking options, and expanded software development kit (SDK) support. Additional features for XYO Layer One will continue to roll out in the coming months, enhancing the ecosystem and its capabilities.
