XYO is a decentralized ecosystem focused on data sovereignty and incentivizing data collection and validation. It combines consumer software, developer tools, a decentralized network, and digital assets, all built around the XYO token. This data is used for various applications, including AI, metaverse, and data analytics. Potential use cases for XYO include enabling decentralized data for AI, metaverse applications, and data analytics, helping organizations derive insights from complex datasets for decision-making. It can also inform urban planning, environmental monitoring, and localized human mobilization. XYO was created by XY Labs, Inc., and was introduced in January 2018 by co-founders Arie Trouw and Markus Levin. The XYO token was launched in March 2018, and the ecosystem expanded in 2022 to handle a broader range of data types.
