From: Joel Carter xyOS advances new standards for data sovereignty and user autonomy and ushers in a new era of decentralized digital experiences SAN DIEGOâââMay 1, 2024âââXYO, the pioneering DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) and Web3 protocol designed to improve the validity, certainty, and value of data, today announced the official beta launch of its native operating system, xyOS. The new platform integrates enhanced data sovereign technologies and seamless usability functionalities to advance more accessible and empowered digital experiences for users to engage in XYOâs DePIN ecosystem and the broader digital landscape. With xyOS now available to the public, users of all backgrounds can confidently navigate blockchain-based applications with ease while reclaiming ownership of their online interactions in the process. By placing users at the helm, xyOS initiates a paradigm shift in digital autonomy that can bridge the gap between the complex world of decentralized technology and the everyday user. âThe beta launch of xyOS is a pivotal moment in our journey towards a more sovereign internet for everyone,â said Arie Trouw, co-founder and CEO of XYO. âItâs unfortunate that our current engagements in Web2 are laced with a level of risk at best and exploit at worst. With xyOS, we empower users to take control of their online data using a decentralized platform that simulates the comfort and familiarity of platforms weâve come to know, and all while putting their freedom, autonomy, and innovation at the forefront.â xyOS, short for XYO Operating System, represents a new chapter for the protocol, leveraging the decentralized benefits of blockchain technology through a user-friendly graphical interface. Similar to an iPhone home screen or Windows desktop, xyOS democratizes access to the XYO Platform, Protocol, and Network, offering a sleek setup of dApps now accessible with a click or tap. By storing all data locally, users retain full control and sovereignty over their information, with the flexibility to modify or delete it at their discretion. From simplifying node setup (and allowing virtually any device to become a node in XYOâs DePIN) to providing real-time insights into XYO technologies, xyOS is a catalyst for change in the digital ecosystem. Key features of xyOS include an array of core and default dApps such as Profile, Settings, System Health, and Name Service, as well as tools like Quick Search, OS Theming, and a dashboard clock. Together, users can establish new identities and preferences in the XYO ecosystem to begin peer-to-peer engagements and be primed for eventual third-party dApp development. âTogether, we have the power to shape a digital future that is truly our own,â added Arie Trouw. âWhether itâs safely engaging and exchanging with other users in a peer-to-peer manner, or eventually playing secret mini-games for added fun, xyOS is all about enhancing the user experience. No longer shackled by the constraints of centralized platforms, users can explore, create, exchange, and connect with confidence, knowing that those engagements are truly their own.â The future of the internet is in our hands, and with xyOS, navigating the online world no longer means leaving our data vulnerable or decentralized technology uncharted.

The membership marks a significant milestone in XYOâs expanding global footprint. SAN DIEGOâââMarch 28, 2024âââToday, XYO ($XYO) and XY Labs ($XYLB) proudly announce their membership in the Digital Assets Association (DAA), a non-profit association at the forefront of integrating blockchain technology into the fabric of traditional finance. The DAA aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the transformative potential of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) by facilitating connections between the digital asset landscape and traditional financial institutions. Its founding committee includes leaders and visionaries representing top firms and blockchain projects such as DigiFT, Onfet, Tranchess, Banking Circle, and Bright Point International Digital Assets. According to Polaris Research, the Asia Pacific blockchain market was valued at USD 2.64 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand, with an annual growth rate of 56.8% in the foreseeable future. This growth indicator, coupled with the trillions of dollars of assets expected to be tokenized by the end of the decade, makes clear that a revolution in blockchain is fast approaching. While asset tokenization is making headway across the world, Asian governments and enterprises are increasingly embracingâââand scalingâââprojects dedicated to asset tokenization as a cornerstone of the new digital economy. Major institutional players in Singapore such as JPMorgan, DBS, and BNY Mellon are exploring various RWA use cases. With experts projecting asset tokenization to be a USD 3T economic opportunity in Asia alone, the region has transformed into a hotbed of asset tokenization activity and adoption, spanning both governments and enterprises. By joining DAAâs membership community, XYO gains a front-row seat with unprecedented views into critical emerging trends and the cutting-edge companies behind them that are driving the region and world at large forward. âXYO and XY Labs are honored to join the Digital Assets Association as one of its inaugural members,â says Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO. âThis partnership illustrates our dedication to broadening our engagement in Asia and strengthening XYOâs broader goal to bolster the adoption of groundbreaking blockchain technology through meaningful integrations with traditional finance. As a DAA member, XYO and XY Labs eagerly anticipate participating in regulatory discussions and helping to shape policies that encourage innovation and development in this vibrant industry.â âThe Digital Assets Association is pleased to welcome cutting-edge data sovereignty protocol XYO to the organization,â says Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO of DigiFT, a founding member of DAA. âWe are confident that APAC will continue its momentum and further bolster its position as a blockchain hub. The DAA was established to enable the financial services ecosystem to fully capitalize on the immense potential of tokenization, and collaborating with XYO brings DAA one step closer to fulfilling this vision.â Hereâs a snapshot of XYOâs and XY Labsâ existing involvement in the region: If youâd like to stay updated on XYOâs developments in the APAC, subscribe to our newsletter here and follow us on X here.

So, buckle up, fellow adventurers, because the XYO saga is only just beginning! Charting the Course to Brilliance: Unveiling the XYO 2024 Roadmap! was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. As 2023 comes to a close, I reflect on the past year of what XYO has been able to accomplish. But more importantly, I look at what we didnât accomplish. Every day, I spend time at my computer, and I think about how I can challenge myself in the pursuit of a more perfect internet. How can we work as a project, as a community, to bring XYO to everyone across the world? How do we create the perfect digital environment for our core values? How do we bring true data sovereignty, data provenance, and data permanence to everyone who rightly deserves it? XYO stands at the precipice of three, very long years of intense XYO development. In that time, we have grown our incredible team of developers, and weâve perfected the core technology needed for incoming development atop the XYO Platform. XYO 2.0 is ready. In 2024, we ask you to be ready as well. Our 2024 roadmap looks a little different than those youâve seen in the past. Our changes take into account the biggest strides weâve made, and they keep in check the stumbles weâve had, too. Some of the biggest changes youâll notice are: We have chosen to deprecate the quarterly system for 2024. Itâs a big change, but itâs not an unfamiliar one in the world of tech. This set up allows us to display a clear path for our community without arbitrary, 3-month timelines. Our team-based product mapping offers transparency for the road aheadâââwhere youâll see growth, and who will be responsible for making that a reality. After a variety of products and even more ahead of us, our 2024 will create brand cohesion and clarity. Weâll be working on more videos, more content and even more ways to integrate XYO into your daily life easily. Seamlessly. 2024 will be the year of XYO. â Arie Trouw | x.com/arietrouw A Message to the XYO Community was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. Yes, I said it. The current trajectory of Web3 and blockchain strays further from the original dream of decentralization and sovereignty. Every. Single. Day. Why? We are in an unstable and still-developing blockchain industry. In the past few years, some of the mightiest blockchain companies have fallen and many others have failed to find lift-off in the first place. Common pitfalls for Web3 focused companies and projects include: So whatâs the result of all this? Regression. Companies lean back on Web2 standards and safety nets, resulting in less-than-attractive technological advances. Even many Web3 efforts are pivoting back to centralized control with technologies such as upgradable contracts. More than ever, it is imperative to build with the original purpose in mind: Personal digital sovereignty and a Sovereign Internet for the world. At XYO, we have experienced the difficulties a Web2 world presents for Web3 development and growth. Never has it deterred us. Our company has been around since 2012, and our blockchain journey began in early 2018. Since then, weâve launched numerous Web3 products and weathered many a bear market. Recently, we launched our near-term Q4 2023 Roadmap. Our goals for Q4 continue to chart a path back to what Web3 was meant to be: a widespread, open source ecosystem that brings data providers and data consumers together in a mutually beneficial relationship. Goals: Each of these come together to make Q4 the springboard for an exciting, community-involved 2024. This all starts with large developmental efforts. We have already begun working on developer documentation. Docusaurus offers a beautiful and well-known layout that is easy for developers to navigate. Additionally, weâve already made strides in improving the Explore and Node website experiences. These sites are primarily useful for developers who need a visual representation of the modules and data they are working with and the relationships between them. Weâve fully documented our SDKs, but that is just the beginning. To ensure that everyone can contribute and utilize XYO weâre adding: An introduction to a new code documentation is always useful. While XYO can be added to nearly any project out there, it still presents a new way of coding and thinking about data. To help guide new XYO developers, an introduction, as well as some practice examples, are slated to be added in Q4 2023. This will help new developers start using XYO on day one, and help them feel more comfortable with ideas like: data as XYO payloads, incorporating XYO modules, building custom modules, and contributing to the development of the XYO Platform. Itâs important that new XYO developers can consistently rely on our reference documentation. Glossaries provide clarity, reduce confusion, and can be the difference between adoption and abandonment. The XYO Ecosystem Glossary will serve as a way to increase comprehension of XYO terms and a method of reducing the time needed to learn prior to building with an XYO SDK or plug-in. Internally, we use Typescript, and it ensures we maintain a clean, accessible, and easy-to-read codebase. Part of this meticulous style of coding means we catch potential type traps early, and we look forward to having this incorporated in our XYO documentation and codebases. Our documentation plans for Q4 and beyond also include details on how to easily integrate XYO features into existing projects. By using XYOâs technology, you can improve the sovereignty, performance and user experience of your website. Future XYO integrations detailed in the documentation will be things like code examples for features like PermaShareâââcopy and paste a block of code, and suddenly your existing function can turn your page into a PermaShare link! Explore is a treasure trove for anyone wanting to analyze XYO data. On explore.xyo.network, you can browse payloads on a public or private archivist, view payload schemas, and see how the XYO modules in your code interact with each other. It also serves as a way for developers to easily visualize what they are building. Node is designed as a way to run an XYO Node on your browser or device. With decentralization and sovereignty at the heart of everything we do, we made Node so that anyone can create and interact with XYO. No setup. No gatekeeping. No barriers. Our Builder Bounty program in 2024 (more on that below) could result in quite a few new XYO dApps and module options. When an XYO contributor, codeless or otherwise, wants to use a new dApp that has been created, they can spin up an XYO Node on their computer with node.xyo.network, and run that dApp in the resulting digital environment. Through node.xyo.network, users will also be able to occasionally complete Builder Bounties. For example, if a request includes running a module on your personal computer, the module will most likely be run within node.xyo.network. Youâd visit node.xyo.network, spin up the correct module on your computer, process data or run the module in some way, and return the result. Keep reading to learn more about our upcoming XYO solutions and the XYO Builder Bounty Program. Simply put, PermaShare lets you share data with a permanent hash. Letâs break it down. PermaShare solves one of the biggest problems we face today. Not being able to trust what we see on the internet. You know exactly what I mean. We go on the internet daily. Each time we find something, we do a mental âchecklistâ to ensure we can trust the source and the data, itself. âIs it shared by a trusted account?â, we ask ourselves. âCool, itâs got the check mark. But did they just pay for it? How do I know itâs not trying to trick me?â Next, we question the data itself. âAny weird filters or edits in the image or data itself? Wait, is that closed-caption really what [insert politician here] said, or is that edited?â You do this, subconsciously and consciously, every time you see something new. It wastes our time, our energy, and our brain power. The tiny bits of frustration build up and affect our outlook on the world. We need something better. As stated earlier, PermaShare is a hash-based sharing tool. But before we dive into the details of PermaShare, itâs important to understand the underlying technology and the value that comes along with it. One of the key differentiators for general blockchain technology is the ability to have an audit trail. With the use of cryptographic signatures and blockchain ledgers, you can track the source, or provenance, of data without fear of it being invalid or altered. Being able to easily trace the source of data means we just have to ask one question about our data: Can I trust the original creator of this data? Once you can trust the source of the data, itâs easy to establish data confidenceâââany time, anywhere. PermaShare makes the process of establishing data confidence easier than ever before. It also solves the problem of longevity for shared dataâââeven if a platform goes out of business or you end up shadow-banned, you can always view the data you originally shared. Social Media platforms present a beautiful example of just how far-reaching the positive effects of PermaShare can be. Letâs start small. When you share a link today, the social media site you use caches the image. Even if the content on the page changes, the social media site will rely on the image they previously saved for that link. Why? Itâs useful. Caching can improve performance, visual consistency, and reduce data usage, just to name a few of its perks. PermaShare (and XYO) offers the same level of usefulness, but with a âfewâ extra add-ons: transparency, historical recordkeeping, data authentication, manipulation prevention, verified news, improved user control, and data privacy. Every year, new social platforms pop up. But in most cases, their core data is the same: text, images, videos, links. But each time a new platform launches, thereâs always an underlying test of longevity. The worst part is the data loss. Thousands of accounts, millions of photos and songs, and a huge blip in the digital global history. Instead of mourning the data losses from a dead platform, imagine transferring your entire profileâs history to a new one. Transforming social media material to XYO payloads allows users to take control of the data they create on social platforms. Right now, users assume they have ownership over the content they share, but the underlying reliance on Web2's centralized systems equals instability. Permanent links help maintain the integrity of the content that users originally interacted with. Imagine you had a personal, private website to pull up your old MySpace account, or you could laugh again at a bunch of Vines. Live Sharing is the corollary to PermaShare. While it maintains the audit trail and blockchain benefits of PermaSharing, it also allows you to share âliveâ data. This can be anything from the literal âliveâ score of a popular sports game, the relative value of a US Dollar to the British Pound, or the top 5 coins on CoinMarketCap. Live Sharing also solves some of the most annoying problems about sharing today. Hereâs an example: Robert wants to share a link to his new online business for custom shoes. He shares the link on Facebook, gets some new customers, and life is great! The website homepage Robert shared showcased one of his most popular shoes, and the demand is so high, he has to take it off the site while he waits for shipments. However, even after updating to a new shoe design on the homepage, the Facebook link doesnât update the share image! Suddenly, Robert experiences angry potential customers, who clicked the Facebook link and expected the shoe was available. Now, imagine Robert had used an XYO Live Sharing link instead. When Robert shares the link to the homepage of his new website, it displays the live products he decides to showcase. When he launches new designs, or has to take some down for shipment delays, the link automatically updates to the new designs heâs trying to sell. Any new customers that end up on Robertâs site from that link have seen a design that is readily available, and they can go ahead and purchase it that day. Together, PermaShare and Live Sharing improve something people already interact with every day. But the improvements donât stop here. Having permanent links with easily accessible audit trails is something every industry needs, whether itâs to better track and authenticate blood glucose levels for diabetes monitoring or Olympic race times. PermaShare offers a single, verifiable, isolated recordâââanonymity, access, and control is all in the userâs hands. And weâre already using PermaShare internally today. Weâre already using PermaShare and Live Sharing in several places across our tech stack internally with excellent results. Weâre working on bringing these XYO-backed benefits to the community so that everyone can leverage the power of XYO. The XYO Builder Bounty program is slated for early 2024. Bounty programs often focus on bug reportsâââethical hackers locate and report issues with software and receive a reward for doing so. With our bounty program, we wanted to primarily promote the contribution to and adoption of XYO technology and still include Bug Bounties only for release code. A big focus of the XYO Builder Bounty program is for developers to contribute to the XYO technology and open-source community. We are also considering bounties for non-developers. This means you could get bounties for running codeless tasks, such as running a specific module overnight or computing larger sets of data. During the Builder Bounty Program, this is a manual process, but it will later be replaced with automated payment channels for running nodes that contribute to shared data. These channels will be funded by people using the data, resulting in an automated two sided data marketplace. Hereâs a Rate My NFT Builder Bounty Example: Run an XYO Module to generate 10,000 Rate My NFT scores to improve the speed of Foreventory. In this example, we are asking the community to run a pre-coded module that uses your CPU to generate Rate My NFT scores. Why? Because of the collection size! Itâs over 10,000 NFTs, so it may take some time to scan, rate, and create payloads for that set of data. After youâve completed the task, you can share the result with the team, and receive your bounty. It may seem like a simple task, but the benefit is huge. After the NFTs have been rated, they can now be more easily accessed as payloads. Itâs faster, more efficient, and available for anyone using Rate My NFTs. And of course, the person providing the data or development is rewarded for their completed task. Our goal is to have the XYO token serve as a way for the bounty program to start a stable, utility-based economy as we move into 2024. XYOâs Q4 2023 is bound to be exciting. We have new things lined up for release, and weâve set our sights on a worthwhile list of upgrades to our technology, setting us up for a paradigm-shifting 2024. We are aiming to alter the course of Web3 development, not just provide incremental improvements predicated on the ideas of others. We expect to have our work redefine how Web3 is envisioned and developed. The battle for personal, digital, and shared sovereignty is the most important challenge facing society today, and XYO is at the forefront of that battle. On a more personal note, I am extremely excited about releasing PermaShare. It not only helps solve ongoing issues that are common on the internet, it also showcases the power of the XYO approach to Web3. Most importantly, it demonstrates that simple tools can drastically improve user security. Security through transparency is the way of the future. The XYO Protocol, Platform, and Ecosystem is the culmination of years of work by myself and the extraordinary team that are here at XY Labs and XYO. Make sure you follow me: XYO posts every day to X, Facebook, and Instagram: Or join our community on Discord, Reddit, or Telegram. Never give up, never surrender! The Downward Spiral of Web3 was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. Q4 2023 is going to be big for the XYO team, as we finalize critical developer tools and unveil new concepts and features. Weâre excited to share our plans with you and canât wait to show you how these developments will revolutionize the XYO ecosystem. Keep in mind, this is only the roadmap updates for Q4â2023. The full 2024 roadmap will also be shared in the next few weeks! Be sure to check out the updated visual Q4 roadmap on the XYO Website! But before we venture forth, letâs talk about whatâs not on the docket for Q4. As you may have guessed, if youâre familiar with our original 2023 roadmap, some of our most exciting and ambitious plans for 2023 have been bumped to Q1 and Q2 of 2024. This includes our Crypto Cards CCG and the new version of XYO World. Wait! Hold your groans, weâre not here to disappoint you today. Thereâs a simple reason for this. Those new products have got to be good, and weâre not going to release them until weâre confident they are. So weâre dedicating Q4 to improving the foundations upon which these productsâââand indeed the entire XYO ecosystemâââare built. Moreover, many of the features queued for Q4 are key features or requirements for our products in 2024. Not only will we be improving the underlying technology, weâll also be taking critical steps towards making future products a reality. Part of this plan includes some really cool stuff we havenât talked about before. Youâre going to like it, we can pretty much guarantee it. But weâll get to that in a momentâââread on. Our most important goal for wrapping up 2023 is to create a stronger foundation for both XYO World (XYOW) and Crypto Cards CCG, not to mention the wider XYO ecosystem. To achieve this, weâve decided to move the launch of both of these products to the first half of 2024, and first focus on building core XYO Platform technology required to develop XYO dApps like these including two new XYO featuresâââPermaShare and Live Sharing. These new concepts are key features for both XYOW and Crypto Cards CCG, and we canât wait to show you how theyâll enhance the user experience for players like you. PermaShare is an XYO Tool that allows you to share a permanent snapshot of a webpage. See a funny typo on CNNâs homepage? Want to share the breaking news article in The New York Times? With PermaShare, you can truly create a permanent snapshot of anything you want to share, and it can never be changed or deleted. This may sound similar to projects like the Internet Archiveâs Wayback Machine. But PermaShare is a critical evolution of the concept. For example, the Wayback Machine doesnât store images, and as a result, a lot of material is lost. PermaShare, on the other hand, provides a true, image-based or cryptographic data snapshot. In contrast, hereâs the earliest Wayback Machine snapshot of Whitehouse.gov, from 1996: Moreover, PermaShare permanently validates the data saved with blockchain cryptography, providing a source and proving that snapshots taken are unaltered. This is the critical provenance the internet needs in the age of digital misinformation and AI. PermaShare is a core feature weâve had planned for XYO World and Crypto Cards all year. In order to share and verify important information from either of those products, weâll include PermaShare. For example, the outcome of a game of CryptoCards can be verified by anyone with access to the PermaShare snapshot for that battle. Weâve decided to release PermaShare as not just a mutual feature of XYO World and Crypto Cards, but as a product unto itself, because its vast array of potential uses demand that it be made easily available to both users and developers. Itâs a fantastic on-ramp, a great reason to include XYO into a third party project or product, and it will doubtlessly be included in more XYO products in the future. Weâre also building out our feature called Live Sharing. This wonât be a product on its own, but it will be an important feature of XYO products moving forward and will be included in XYOâs public SDKs. Itâs already been debuted in Foreventory, and is now in the process of being refined and expanded. This is a little different from the sharing features with which you may be familiar. The data shared is dynamic, and will update when anything changes. For example, in Foreventory, if Descartes begins getting more value out of Netflix than Nietzsche in the future, that will be reflected in the results if anyone visits the shared link. Live Sharing is, simply put, a better way to share mutable data. If you want to share your Crypto Cards score over time, the same share link will always show your most recent statistics. (This synergizes perfectly with PermaShare, which would allow you to share your Live Sharing link at a specific moment in time, proving how much progress youâve made.) Together with COIN, Crypto Cards CCG and XYO World will become the second and third pillars of XYOâs new decentralized gaming ecosystem, which will harness a massive, decentralized network of users and devices to both generate and utilize astonishingly powerful aggregate data. But thereâs something else we havenât told you about yet. Something for which weâre building the foundations. In Q1 2024, weâre introducing the XYO Builder Bounty Program. Get ready for our first ever opportunity for fans to supercharge the power of XYO, coming in 2024. Weâre giving true enthusiasts like you the chance to directly contribute to building XYO and earn exclusive, specialty rewards. Donât miss out on the electrifying updates in our upcoming 2024 Roadmap. Stay tuned, itâs dropping soon! In service of these goals, our future goals, as well as the wider adoption of XYO, weâre also hard at work revitalizing our developer tools. These tools have been designed to make it easy for developers to build and integrate XYO technology into their own apps and projects. We believe that improving these tools will help us reach a wider audience of developers and enthusiasts who are excited about the possibilities afforded by XYO technology.

Remember, this UI in progress and subject to change! pic.twitter.com/M50J11X7He This includes updates to our Explore and Node sites to better reflect the latest developments and improvements in our technology. These tools have become integral parts of the XYO ecosystem, and we recognize the importance of keeping them current and relevant to our users. By updating these web apps, we hope to provide users with an even better experience and make it easier than ever for developers to keep XYO up-to-date in their software projects. Weâve also previously mentioned that there are major, ongoing changes to the XYO SDKs. These changes will augment the same products that PermaShare and Live Sharing have been built to support. By including these features in our public SDKs, we ensure that XYO is as useful as possible for third party developers, and we enable all XYO products to include our best features quickly and efficiently. XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3 Also being updated is the crucial and oft-discussed XYO protocolâââthe set of rules and standards upon which XYO operates. Small, specific changes across all of these developer tools include: The updates to these tools will allow both internal and external developers to build on XYO more efficiently, faster, and with greater ease than ever before. Q4 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting time for the XYO team and our users. While weâve decided not to rush the fun stuff weâd originally planned, we think itâs better to make sure those things are excellent when we do release them next year. And what weâre doing now will not only make those products better, but allow for the incorporation of some of their important features into other softwareâââboth internal and third partyâââthat could greatly benefit from them. From improved developer tools and SDKs, to PermaShare and Live Sharing, weâre building the foundations for fun and exciting new consumer products and pushing the boundaries of whatâs possible in the world of web3. Weâre excited to continue sharing our progress and developments with you, and canât wait to see how these new advancements will revolutionize the industry. And, perhaps most exciting of all, weâre introducing a way for you, the people who love XYO, to help XYO succeed and get rewarded for doing it. We are beyond thrilled to finally get to tell you about the XYO Builder Bounty Program for the very first time and we can hardly wait to tell you more in future updates. XYO posts every day to X, Facebook, and Instagram. Youâll find our latest updates on your favorite: Ready to join the XYO community? Jump into Discord, Reddit, or Telegram! And donât miss the news from the man, himself, Arie Trouw, CEO of XY Labs! When a really big development hits, heâll usually be the first to tell the community, so be sure to follow him on X. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We deeply appreciate those of you who support us, share us with your friends and family, and make up the incredible XYO community! XYOâs Plan for Q4 2023: Exploring Exciting New Features and Improved Developer Tools was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. What a ride! XYOâs Q3 was a fiscal quarter to remember, and thatâs precisely what weâre here to do. Weâll dive into XYOâs Q3 milestones in growth, applications, and open-source development. Weâll also discuss how these developments tie into the three core concepts that define XYOâs trajectory and futureâââsovereignty, provenance, and permanence. In 2023, weâve introduced you to the importance of data sovereignty, to ensure people retain control over their digital lives, and indeed, the data that defines who they are in the digital age. Weâve also confronted the issue of illusory permanence, and with our biggest software launch all yearâââForeventoryâââweâve taken the first steps to helping XYO users achieve true data permanence. And thereâs even more weâve been up to. XYOâs founders, Arie Trouw and Markus Levin, have delved deeper into thought leadership than ever before, providing expert commentary for major publications ranging from Cointelegraph to Nasdaq, and many more. They also continue to make strides in service of the long-term health of XYOâs software, network, and token. The year, of course, is far from over. Stay tuned for our updated Q4 Roadmap and the high-level view of our 2024 Roadmap, coming soon! Now, letâs look back at some of the coolest things weâve done and experienced all year. Q3 kicked off with a roar and the launch of our newest software product, Foreventory! We launched with a data analytics tool that can be used for your Netflix account, analyzing how much use and value youâre getting out of it. XYO https://t.co/cLW4xMvNMY pic.twitter.com/tpCRrOvqy8 Not only can Foreventory show users like you how much value youâre getting out of your Netflix account overall, it can also show you how much each profile is using it, explore which shows your family likes most, or if youâre feeling competitive, duel profiles against one another. Foreventory even lets you dive deep to analyze everything about your watching habits. Whether you just want an at-a-glance tool or you want to feed your inner data nerd, Foreventory can help. This incredibly powerful, easy-to-use tool is free. Hereâs how to try it. Netflix analytics, of course, is just the first tool to become available for Foreventory users. Keep reading, more on that in a bit. Later in July, the CEO of XY Labs, Arie Trouw, published a new piece for Cointelegraph Innovation Circle entitled, âIs 2023 the year weâre able to take control of our data?â This thorough and insightful piece gave readers a primer on how to think about data sovereignty, and why it should be on everyoneâs mind. He also shared his thoughts on the possible directions for data sovereignty in the future, both good and bad, with instruction on how we, as users, can steer things in the right direction. Learn more about data sovereignty here. Our new data analytics tool, Foreventory, represents a leap forward for personal data sovereignty. Let's talk about how it works and why that's important. #XYOhttps://t.co/VF1f5PaA6A pic.twitter.com/cwFQ0JXCxY At the end of July, we explained how Arieâs vision of data sovereignty ties in with Foreventory. We covered why accessing your own data is important, and why being able to make data human-readable is critical to understanding it. We also delved into how to get your hands on the data you rightfully own, and leverage it for your own benefit. We're having a good day today. How about you? Prices via @CoinMarketCap. #XYO pic.twitter.com/uPfpAxcKSA XYOâs August turned out to be, well, august, and began with a proper altcoin summer rally for the XYO token. It brought a lot of new eyes to XYO and we made sure new fans were properly introduced to our project and our vision. Next, our development team launched into the upcoming phase for Foreventoryâââits much-anticipated web3 features. The first of these will be a Rate My NFTs tool (this is the working title and may not be final), which will allow users to obtain individual quality ratings for NFTs across a number of popular blockchains, or rate a collection in any given wallet or gallery using a sample of the NFTs inside. Quality ratings are based on transparent criteria and each of these criteria are laid out in a breakdown of the overall rating of each NFT. Will your favorite NFT get a perfect score like this NyanCat piece from @mntge_io and owned by @SnoopDogg? đ€ #Foreventory pic.twitter.com/fwEBJgADui This feature is currently in the alpha phase of testing. Public beta testing will followâââbe sure to stay tuned to XYOâs social media for updates! XY Labs has been a remote team since Spring of 2020, when COVID lockdowns coincided with the expiration of our lease on our beautiful, and much beloved, downtown San Diego office. We embraced a new way of working, and it opened new horizons for our team. The core XY Labs team now spans across the country, with partners and contractors around the world. This summer we decided to meet up with one another in XYOâs hometown of San Diego. After a wonderful dinner at one of the cityâs legendary microbreweries, Arie explained his vision for XYO and its future to the core XY Labs team. The next day, he treated the team to gourmet tacos and a pool party at his beautiful home where we got to truly feel like a team. (Although some of the code nerds among us could not be stopped from working while we were there. We tried.) Our minds refreshed, we got back to work. Everything XYO does is built on the XYO SDKs. Software Development Kits are the fundamental code which links one project to another, that allow a project to be built on and into XYO. SDKs are the code that defines what XYO is. XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3 One of the benefits of building software products like Foreventory with our SDKs is shining a light on how our SDKs can be improved. This is behind the scenes work thatâs absolutely necessary to the ongoing health and success of XYO. This has become a major focus of XYOâs 2023 Q3. Itâs imperative that the software we releaseâââand that our partners releaseâââbe the best we can make it, and always in the process of improvement. With that in mind, back-end performance improvements, bug fixes, and stabilizations have been rolling out almost daily throughout XYOâs early autumn. Public XYO SDKs: Public XY Labs SDKs: Youâll find documentation for XYOâs open-source platform here. While youâll find much to learn already available, these documents are updated regularly and more documentation will become available over time. Meanwhile, XYOâs other co-founder, Markus Levin, who burns the midnight oil as the Head of Operations for XY Labs, has been hard at work ensuring the health of our business and token. Our friends at Australian Crypto Convention naturally asked him to be one of their guest speakers in Melbourne this year. Not only that, but we were asked to invite ten (ten!) lucky Aussie fans to join us there. Congratulations, Eric! đ„ł Further details are in an email we've sent to you. We'll see you in Melbourne in November!Didn't win? No worries! We've got more tickets and will be doing weekend giveaways throughout October, or you can grab your tickets here: https://t.co/Wp76COskpY pic.twitter.com/oEEMqYJxCY XYO and COIN superfan, Eric, was the very deserving winner of our first giveaway, then we decided to put our heads together with the COIN team and invite only the very best geominers in Victoria (the state where Melbourne is located) to join Markus at the convention in November! To round out Q3, XYO did one of the things thatâs been most requested by the community for years. The XYO token finally made the leap to Layer 2, alleviating the high gas prices and congestion that come with using Ethereum, by adding XYO to the OP Mainnet. BREAKING NEWS: XYO is now on OP Mainnet! #XYO is better with #Optimism. Stay tuned for more Layer 2 news! @optimismFND https://t.co/4mEnlwMjYl pic.twitter.com/wv04UG9wpV We finished the planning, work, and testing at the very end of Q3, and announced this leap forward to the public as our opening improvement of Q4. Optimism bundles Ethereum transactions, allowing for faster transactions with much smaller gas fees. Itâs easy to get started trading using Uniswap! Youâll find full instructions in our announcement. Now that weâve wrapped up XYOâs Q3 for you, hopefully weâve left you hungry for more. Not to worry, our detailed and updated Q4 roadmap is on the way, followed by our high-level 2024 roadmap, so you can see where all the work weâve done in 2023 is headed.

We thank you for joining us on this amazing ride called XYO! We deeply appreciate those of you who support us, share us with your friends and family, and make up our incredible community. Stay tuned for our Q4 and 2024 plansâââcoming soon! XYO Q3 Review: A Look Back at a BIG Quarter was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. A question we commonly receive is whether or not XYO would ever consider a Layer 2 solution for high Ethereum gas prices and slow transaction times. Today, weâre proud to announce XYOâs arrival on OP Mainnet! With Optimism, you can expect faster and cheaper XYO token transactions than youâve ever experienced before. Letâs take a look at what Optimism is, how it can benefit XYO holders like you, and what implications this announcement will have for XYO. Optimism is a blockchain scaling solution that offers a high-speed, layer-two scaling option for Ethereum. It boosts Ethereumâs capacity to support thousands of transactions per second while reducing gas fees. With the arrival of XYO on the OP Mainnet, crypto enthusiasts can look forward to lightning fast transaction speeds and significantly lower (read: dirt cheap) gas fees. Optimism uses rollups to bundle transactions into entire blocks, allowing for quicker processing. This approach is much more efficient than Ethereumâs traditional method of processing transactions individually and offers much-needed relief for traders exhausted with high gas prices, peak hours, sluggish transactions, and costly speed boosts. We asked resident crypto genius, Ryan, whoâs one of the megaminds behind developing COIN, to help make sure you know exactly how to power up your XYO with Optimism! If youâve never used Optimism before, youâll need to bridge some ETH as a deposit onto Optimism, as Optimism uses it for gas, just like Ethereum. Helpfully, Optimism has a handy web app. Pro Tip: Transferring ETH to Optimism from Ethereum is quick, but withdrawing it may not be. At the time of publication, depositing ETH to OP Mainnet takes only a few minutes, but withdrawing it takes about a week. Only transfer the ETH and XYO you donât mind not having on Ethereum for a few days! NOTE: Your cryptocurrency is still in your wallet! Itâs moved chains, but has not moved from your wallet. You can toggle between chains within your wallet at any time. Once you have some ETH in your wallet on Optimism, youâll need to bridge some XYO tokens from the Ethereum to Optimism with a deposit. Pro Tip: This approval only changes your spending cap. It does not deposit your XYO tokens to OP Mainnet. Once this transaction is complete, you have XYO tokens in your wallet on the OP Mainnet! Now, switch your wallet from Ethereum to Optimism. If you donât see your XYO in your wallet when itâs switched to Optimism, be sure to add XYO as a custom token in your wallet. (Youâll need to do this for Optimism even if youâve already done it for Ethereum!) Youâll find your XYO in your wallet, but now on Optimism instead of Ethereum! Youâre now free to trade XYO on Uniswap in the usual way. Well, not quite the usual way⊠youâre using Optimism! Hereâs a convenient link to the XYO/ETH trading pair in Uniswap v3 on Optimism. If youâve never traded on Uniswap before, not to worry, our good friends at CoinMarketCap have a step-by-step guide. With XYO arriving on Optimism, crypto enthusiasts can expect not only faster, cheaper transactions, but also an improved trading experience. And the bridge between XYO and Optimism offers a unique opportunity for those seeking liquidity for their crypto assets. Importantly, this leap forward also provides a glimpse into the potential for blockchain technology to transform industries that rely on the quality data provided by XYO. Itâs an exciting time for XYO, and with advancements like this, we can expect even greater innovation in the years to come. Get ready for a new era of improved XYO trading! XYO Now Available on OptimismâââFaster and Cheaper Transactions for True Crypto Enthusiasts was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. With COIN, powered by XYO, youâre incentivized and rewarded to create valuable heuristic data. But while COIN allows you to leverage your ability to create data for your own benefit, thereâs another facet to data collection. As we like to point out, your data is immensely valuable. You should be able to use it for yourself! To that end, the XY Labs team is opening up the COIN back end so you can see the data you generate for COIN. Now in alpha testing, the COIN Location dApp will allow COIN users to not only leverage their data but also access and use it, themselves. Thatâs exciting, but weâre just getting started. We also want to make sure you have that kind of access to all of your data, not just what you generate in our systems. You probably use multiple online services from different companies every single day. You should have this kind of back door, VIP access to your data from every possible source. Are you wondering why you would want that? What use it might be to you? Youâve probably experienced something a few times in your life. An epiphany that a new product, tool, or service you never knew you needed or wanted is better than you expected, more useful and helpful than you could have imagined. Pretty soon, you wonder how you ever got along without it. Youâre going to feel that way about Foreventory. Weâre here to open up a new world of possibilities to you. Thereâs a good chance youâve enjoyed the power of your data in the past. One of the best companies in the world for data transparency (we love to see it) is also the biggest music streaming service in the world: Spotify. Not only do they make sure you have convenient access to your Spotify data every single year, they also make it fun and give you a great way to use it. Every December, now almost as ubiquitous as Christmas lights and holiday sales, comes Spotify Wrapped. If youâre active on social media at all, you probably see your family and friends posting their favorite music for everyone to see. Itâs likely youâve shared yours, too. In sharing the data theyâve collected about you with you, in an engaging and useful way, Spotify has created a reliable, annual viral marketing campaign. And not only do you get to enjoy learning about your own music-listening habits, Spotify allows you to make a playlist of your one hundred favorite songs, in the exact order of how much you listened to them. This is brilliant. Every company should do this, or so you would think. But they donât, and thatâs where XYO comes in. Thereâs a reason a lot of companies donât want you to see the data you generate for them. For one thing, they often sell it, and obfuscation makes paying for access more desirable. For another, you might learn too much from your data for their liking. That may sound a bit conspiratorial, but itâs true. For example, if you use a service and can break down exactly how much itâs costing you relative to how much youâre getting out of it, you might discover youâre not getting much out of it at all. If you find out youâre paying $10 an hour for a video streaming service, the last people who want you to know it is that streaming service. If you play an online game, you might be familiar with price obfuscation in the form of currency conversion. The cash shops of multiplayer online games donât have prices in your native fiat currency. Youâve never paid $15 for a cool mount or skin or power-up. No, you bought a pack of Sparkling Doubloons for a cash price, and then the price you were presented for the Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount was shown in Sparkling Doubloons. This is explicitly so youâd have to stop and figure out how much that mount is actually costing you. Letâs go ahead and do that. 21,000 Sparkling Doubloons: $149.99 Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: 5,000 Sparkling Doubloons (150 Ă· 21000) x 5000 = 35.71428571428571 Actual cost of Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: $35.72 By the way, this pricing isnât made up. Itâs based on a real, very popular online game. Thatâs the power of data when you actually know it, and companies know this data has power. Thatâs why they intentionally stand between you and your data. But thereâs a way to get that data. Letâs dive in. You just need to know how. Even if youâre not familiar with GDPR, youâve definitely encountered its repercussions. GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Itâs a European Union regulation passed in 2016 and implemented in 2018. The law aims to make sure internet users are aware of how their data is collected, how itâs being used, and who has access to it. Since GDPR was implemented, youâll have become familiar with this: But thatâs not all GDPR does. If you request the data collected by any given company which operates within the EU, theyâre compelled to provide it as part of GDPR compliance. The European Union is big, with almost 448 million residents. Itâs also incredibly wealthy. With a combined GDP of all member nations of 16.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, it consistently represents one of the three largest economies in the world, along with the United States and China. Most global companies want to be able to do business in the EU, and doing business in the EU means complying with GDPR. Consequently, most companies that have online services have a way to request your data from them. And you can make this request whether youâre in the EU or not. But if youâve ever done so, you may have noticed thereâs a problem. The output tends to be raw data. Thereâs little context and not much you can do with it. This doesnât look like much, but with the right tool, it can be turned into something amazing. Your raw data can power graphs, playlists, head-to-head comparisons, cost analyses, productivity tracking, and more. It can be used to help you manage your life, your free time, your productive time, your family, your household, or your business. It can even, believe it or not, be a lot of fun to use. XYOâs new web app, Foreventory, the worldâs first decentralized data analytics tool for everyday data, will show you how powerful your data is, and perhaps most importantly, transform how you interact with the data youâre already generating across multiple platforms. New Web3 features are under development and will be available soon, but we invite you to begin with our current beta test here. Weâll keep you updated about important new developments here on our blog. If you have any questions, feedback, or want to talk about Foreventory (or XYO and COIN), youâll find our Discord server here! Written by Maryann Cummings, Head of XYO Operations. The Data Pipeline and the Power of Knowledge was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. xyOS advances new standards for data sovereignty and user autonomy and ushers in a new era of decentralized digital experiences SAN DIEGOâââMay 1, 2024âââXYO, the pioneering DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) and Web3 protocol designed to improve the validity, certainty, and value of data, today announced the official beta launch of its native operating system, xyOS. The new platform integrates enhanced data sovereign technologies and seamless usability functionalities to advance more accessible and empowered digital experiences for users to engage in XYOâs DePIN ecosystem and the broader digital landscape. With xyOS now available to the public, users of all backgrounds can confidently navigate blockchain-based applications with ease while reclaiming ownership of their online interactions in the process. By placing users at the helm, xyOS initiates a paradigm shift in digital autonomy that can bridge the gap between the complex world of decentralized technology and the everyday user. âThe beta launch of xyOS is a pivotal moment in our journey towards a more sovereign internet for everyone,â said Arie Trouw, co-founder and CEO of XYO. âItâs unfortunate that our current engagements in Web2 are laced with a level of risk at best and exploit at worst. With xyOS, we empower users to take control of their online data using a decentralized platform that simulates the comfort and familiarity of platforms weâve come to know, and all while putting their freedom, autonomy, and innovation at the forefront.â xyOS, short for XYO Operating System, represents a new chapter for the protocol, leveraging the decentralized benefits of blockchain technology through a user-friendly graphical interface. Similar to an iPhone home screen or Windows desktop, xyOS democratizes access to the XYO Platform, Protocol, and Network, offering a sleek setup of dApps now accessible with a click or tap. By storing all data locally, users retain full control and sovereignty over their information, with the flexibility to modify or delete it at their discretion. From simplifying node setup (and allowing virtually any device to become a node in XYOâs DePIN) to providing real-time insights into XYO technologies, xyOS is a catalyst for change in the digital ecosystem. Key features of xyOS include an array of core and default dApps such as Profile, Settings, System Health, and Name Service, as well as tools like Quick Search, OS Theming, and a dashboard clock. Together, users can establish new identities and preferences in the XYO ecosystem to begin peer-to-peer engagements and be primed for eventual third-party dApp development. âTogether, we have the power to shape a digital future that is truly our own,â added Arie Trouw. âWhether itâs safely engaging and exchanging with other users in a peer-to-peer manner, or eventually playing secret mini-games for added fun, xyOS is all about enhancing the user experience. No longer shackled by the constraints of centralized platforms, users can explore, create, exchange, and connect with confidence, knowing that those engagements are truly their own.â The future of the internet is in our hands, and with xyOS, navigating the online world no longer means leaving our data vulnerable or decentralized technology uncharted. For more information and to sign up for xyOS, visit the platform here. For all media inquiries, please contact the XYO Press Team at XYO@Wachsman.com.

The membership marks a significant milestone in XYOâs expanding global footprint. SAN DIEGOâââMarch 28, 2024âââToday, XYO ($XYO) and XY Labs ($XYLB) proudly announce their membership in the Digital Assets Association (DAA), a non-profit association at the forefront of integrating blockchain technology into the fabric of traditional finance. The DAA aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the transformative potential of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) by facilitating connections between the digital asset landscape and traditional financial institutions. Its founding committee includes leaders and visionaries representing top firms and blockchain projects such as DigiFT, Onfet, Tranchess, Banking Circle, and Bright Point International Digital Assets. According to Polaris Research, the Asia Pacific blockchain market was valued at USD 2.64 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand, with an annual growth rate of 56.8% in the foreseeable future. This growth indicator, coupled with the trillions of dollars of assets expected to be tokenized by the end of the decade, makes clear that a revolution in blockchain is fast approaching. While asset tokenization is making headway across the world, Asian governments and enterprises are increasingly embracingâââand scalingâââprojects dedicated to asset tokenization as a cornerstone of the new digital economy. Major institutional players in Singapore such as JPMorgan, DBS, and BNY Mellon are exploring various RWA use cases. With experts projecting asset tokenization to be a USD 3T economic opportunity in Asia alone, the region has transformed into a hotbed of asset tokenization activity and adoption, spanning both governments and enterprises. By joining DAAâs membership community, XYO gains a front-row seat with unprecedented views into critical emerging trends and the cutting-edge companies behind them that are driving the region and world at large forward. âXYO and XY Labs are honored to join the Digital Assets Association as one of its inaugural members,â says Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO. âThis partnership illustrates our dedication to broadening our engagement in Asia and strengthening XYOâs broader goal to bolster the adoption of groundbreaking blockchain technology through meaningful integrations with traditional finance. As a DAA member, XYO and XY Labs eagerly anticipate participating in regulatory discussions and helping to shape policies that encourage innovation and development in this vibrant industry.â âThe Digital Assets Association is pleased to welcome cutting-edge data sovereignty protocol XYO to the organization,â says Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO of DigiFT, a founding member of DAA. âWe are confident that APAC will continue its momentum and further bolster its position as a blockchain hub. The DAA was established to enable the financial services ecosystem to fully capitalize on the immense potential of tokenization, and collaborating with XYO brings DAA one step closer to fulfilling this vision.â Hereâs a snapshot of XYOâs and XY Labsâ existing involvement in the region: If youâd like to stay updated on XYOâs developments in the APAC, subscribe to our newsletter here and follow us on X here.

Thereâs even more to come! Our dynamic roadmap is far from complete, and we canât wait to unveil even more game-changing initiatives in Q1 2024. So, buckle up, fellow adventurers, because the XYO saga is only just beginning! Charting the Course to Brilliance: Unveiling the XYO 2024 Roadmap! was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. As 2023 comes to a close, I reflect on the past year of what XYO has been able to accomplish. But more importantly, I look at what we didnât accomplish. Every day, I spend time at my computer, and I think about how I can challenge myself in the pursuit of a more perfect internet. How can we work as a project, as a community, to bring XYO to everyone across the world? How do we create the perfect digital environment for our core values? How do we bring true data sovereignty, data provenance, and data permanence to everyone who rightly deserves it? XYO stands at the precipice of three, very long years of intense XYO development. In that time, we have grown our incredible team of developers, and weâve perfected the core technology needed for incoming development atop the XYO Platform. XYO 2.0 is ready. In 2024, we ask you to be ready as well. Our 2024 roadmap looks a little different than those youâve seen in the past. Our changes take into account the biggest strides weâve made, and they keep in check the stumbles weâve had, too. Some of the biggest changes youâll notice are: We have chosen to deprecate the quarterly system for 2024. Itâs a big change, but itâs not an unfamiliar one in the world of tech. This set up allows us to display a clear path for our community without arbitrary, 3-month timelines. Our team-based product mapping offers transparency for the road aheadâââwhere youâll see growth, and who will be responsible for making that a reality. After a variety of products and even more ahead of us, our 2024 will create brand cohesion and clarity. Weâll be working on more videos, more content and even more ways to integrate XYO into your daily life easily. Seamlessly. 2024 will be the year of XYO. â Arie Trouw | x.com/arietrouw A Message to the XYO Community was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. Yes, I said it. The current trajectory of Web3 and blockchain strays further from the original dream of decentralization and sovereignty. Every. Single. Day. Why? We are in an unstable and still-developing blockchain industry. In the past few years, some of the mightiest blockchain companies have fallen and many others have failed to find lift-off in the first place. Common pitfalls for Web3 focused companies and projects include: So whatâs the result of all this? Regression. Companies lean back on Web2 standards and safety nets, resulting in less-than-attractive technological advances. Even many Web3 efforts are pivoting back to centralized control with technologies such as upgradable contracts. More than ever, it is imperative to build with the original purpose in mind: Personal digital sovereignty and a Sovereign Internet for the world. At XYO, we have experienced the difficulties a Web2 world presents for Web3 development and growth. Never has it deterred us. Our company has been around since 2012, and our blockchain journey began in early 2018. Since then, weâve launched numerous Web3 products and weathered many a bear market. Recently, we launched our near-term Q4 2023 Roadmap. Our goals for Q4 continue to chart a path back to what Web3 was meant to be: a widespread, open source ecosystem that brings data providers and data consumers together in a mutually beneficial relationship. Goals: Each of these come together to make Q4 the springboard for an exciting, community-involved 2024. This all starts with large developmental efforts. We have already begun working on developer documentation. Docusaurus offers a beautiful and well-known layout that is easy for developers to navigate. Additionally, weâve already made strides in improving the Explore and Node website experiences. These sites are primarily useful for developers who need a visual representation of the modules and data they are working with and the relationships between them. Weâve fully documented our SDKs, but that is just the beginning. To ensure that everyone can contribute and utilize XYO weâre adding: An introduction to a new code documentation is always useful. While XYO can be added to nearly any project out there, it still presents a new way of coding and thinking about data. To help guide new XYO developers, an introduction, as well as some practice examples, are slated to be added in Q4 2023. This will help new developers start using XYO on day one, and help them feel more comfortable with ideas like: data as XYO payloads, incorporating XYO modules, building custom modules, and contributing to the development of the XYO Platform. Itâs important that new XYO developers can consistently rely on our reference documentation. Glossaries provide clarity, reduce confusion, and can be the difference between adoption and abandonment. The XYO Ecosystem Glossary will serve as a way to increase comprehension of XYO terms and a method of reducing the time needed to learn prior to building with an XYO SDK or plug-in. Internally, we use Typescript, and it ensures we maintain a clean, accessible, and easy-to-read codebase. Part of this meticulous style of coding means we catch potential type traps early, and we look forward to having this incorporated in our XYO documentation and codebases. Our documentation plans for Q4 and beyond also include details on how to easily integrate XYO features into existing projects. By using XYOâs technology, you can improve the sovereignty, performance and user experience of your website. Future XYO integrations detailed in the documentation will be things like code examples for features like PermaShareâââcopy and paste a block of code, and suddenly your existing function can turn your page into a PermaShare link! Explore is a treasure trove for anyone wanting to analyze XYO data. On explore.xyo.network, you can browse payloads on a public or private archivist, view payload schemas, and see how the XYO modules in your code interact with each other. It also serves as a way for developers to easily visualize what they are building. Node is designed as a way to run an XYO Node on your browser or device. With decentralization and sovereignty at the heart of everything we do, we made Node so that anyone can create and interact with XYO. No setup. No gatekeeping. No barriers. Our Builder Bounty program in 2024 (more on that below) could result in quite a few new XYO dApps and module options. When an XYO contributor, codeless or otherwise, wants to use a new dApp that has been created, they can spin up an XYO Node on their computer with node.xyo.network, and run that dApp in the resulting digital environment. Through node.xyo.network, users will also be able to occasionally complete Builder Bounties. For example, if a request includes running a module on your personal computer, the module will most likely be run within node.xyo.network. Youâd visit node.xyo.network, spin up the correct module on your computer, process data or run the module in some way, and return the result. Keep reading to learn more about our upcoming XYO solutions and the XYO Builder Bounty Program. Simply put, PermaShare lets you share data with a permanent hash. Letâs break it down. PermaShare solves one of the biggest problems we face today. Not being able to trust what we see on the internet. You know exactly what I mean. We go on the internet daily. Each time we find something, we do a mental âchecklistâ to ensure we can trust the source and the data, itself. âIs it shared by a trusted account?â, we ask ourselves. âCool, itâs got the check mark. But did they just pay for it? How do I know itâs not trying to trick me?â Next, we question the data itself. âAny weird filters or edits in the image or data itself? Wait, is that closed-caption really what [insert politician here] said, or is that edited?â You do this, subconsciously and consciously, every time you see something new. It wastes our time, our energy, and our brain power. The tiny bits of frustration build up and affect our outlook on the world. We need something better. As stated earlier, PermaShare is a hash-based sharing tool. But before we dive into the details of PermaShare, itâs important to understand the underlying technology and the value that comes along with it. One of the key differentiators for general blockchain technology is the ability to have an audit trail. With the use of cryptographic signatures and blockchain ledgers, you can track the source, or provenance, of data without fear of it being invalid or altered. Being able to easily trace the source of data means we just have to ask one question about our data: Can I trust the original creator of this data? Once you can trust the source of the data, itâs easy to establish data confidenceâââany time, anywhere. PermaShare makes the process of establishing data confidence easier than ever before. It also solves the problem of longevity for shared dataâââeven if a platform goes out of business or you end up shadow-banned, you can always view the data you originally shared. Social Media platforms present a beautiful example of just how far-reaching the positive effects of PermaShare can be. Letâs start small. When you share a link today, the social media site you use caches the image. Even if the content on the page changes, the social media site will rely on the image they previously saved for that link. Why? Itâs useful. Caching can improve performance, visual consistency, and reduce data usage, just to name a few of its perks. PermaShare (and XYO) offers the same level of usefulness, but with a âfewâ extra add-ons: transparency, historical recordkeeping, data authentication, manipulation prevention, verified news, improved user control, and data privacy. Every year, new social platforms pop up. But in most cases, their core data is the same: text, images, videos, links. But each time a new platform launches, thereâs always an underlying test of longevity. The worst part is the data loss. Thousands of accounts, millions of photos and songs, and a huge blip in the digital global history. Instead of mourning the data losses from a dead platform, imagine transferring your entire profileâs history to a new one. Transforming social media material to XYO payloads allows users to take control of the data they create on social platforms. Right now, users assume they have ownership over the content they share, but the underlying reliance on Web2's centralized systems equals instability. Permanent links help maintain the integrity of the content that users originally interacted with. Imagine you had a personal, private website to pull up your old MySpace account, or you could laugh again at a bunch of Vines. Live Sharing is the corollary to PermaShare. While it maintains the audit trail and blockchain benefits of PermaSharing, it also allows you to share âliveâ data. This can be anything from the literal âliveâ score of a popular sports game, the relative value of a US Dollar to the British Pound, or the top 5 coins on CoinMarketCap. Live Sharing also solves some of the most annoying problems about sharing today. Hereâs an example: Robert wants to share a link to his new online business for custom shoes. He shares the link on Facebook, gets some new customers, and life is great! The website homepage Robert shared showcased one of his most popular shoes, and the demand is so high, he has to take it off the site while he waits for shipments. However, even after updating to a new shoe design on the homepage, the Facebook link doesnât update the share image! Suddenly, Robert experiences angry potential customers, who clicked the Facebook link and expected the shoe was available. Now, imagine Robert had used an XYO Live Sharing link instead. When Robert shares the link to the homepage of his new website, it displays the live products he decides to showcase. When he launches new designs, or has to take some down for shipment delays, the link automatically updates to the new designs heâs trying to sell. Any new customers that end up on Robertâs site from that link have seen a design that is readily available, and they can go ahead and purchase it that day. Together, PermaShare and Live Sharing improve something people already interact with every day. But the improvements donât stop here. Having permanent links with easily accessible audit trails is something every industry needs, whether itâs to better track and authenticate blood glucose levels for diabetes monitoring or Olympic race times. PermaShare offers a single, verifiable, isolated recordâââanonymity, access, and control is all in the userâs hands. And weâre already using PermaShare internally today. Weâre already using PermaShare and Live Sharing in several places across our tech stack internally with excellent results. Weâre working on bringing these XYO-backed benefits to the community so that everyone can leverage the power of XYO. The XYO Builder Bounty program is slated for early 2024. Bounty programs often focus on bug reportsâââethical hackers locate and report issues with software and receive a reward for doing so. With our bounty program, we wanted to primarily promote the contribution to and adoption of XYO technology and still include Bug Bounties only for release code. A big focus of the XYO Builder Bounty program is for developers to contribute to the XYO technology and open-source community. We are also considering bounties for non-developers. This means you could get bounties for running codeless tasks, such as running a specific module overnight or computing larger sets of data. During the Builder Bounty Program, this is a manual process, but it will later be replaced with automated payment channels for running nodes that contribute to shared data. These channels will be funded by people using the data, resulting in an automated two sided data marketplace. Hereâs a Rate My NFT Builder Bounty Example: Run an XYO Module to generate 10,000 Rate My NFT scores to improve the speed of Foreventory. In this example, we are asking the community to run a pre-coded module that uses your CPU to generate Rate My NFT scores. Why? Because of the collection size! Itâs over 10,000 NFTs, so it may take some time to scan, rate, and create payloads for that set of data. After youâve completed the task, you can share the result with the team, and receive your bounty. It may seem like a simple task, but the benefit is huge. After the NFTs have been rated, they can now be more easily accessed as payloads. Itâs faster, more efficient, and available for anyone using Rate My NFTs. And of course, the person providing the data or development is rewarded for their completed task. Our goal is to have the XYO token serve as a way for the bounty program to start a stable, utility-based economy as we move into 2024. XYOâs Q4 2023 is bound to be exciting. We have new things lined up for release, and weâve set our sights on a worthwhile list of upgrades to our technology, setting us up for a paradigm-shifting 2024. We are aiming to alter the course of Web3 development, not just provide incremental improvements predicated on the ideas of others. We expect to have our work redefine how Web3 is envisioned and developed. The battle for personal, digital, and shared sovereignty is the most important challenge facing society today, and XYO is at the forefront of that battle. On a more personal note, I am extremely excited about releasing PermaShare. It not only helps solve ongoing issues that are common on the internet, it also showcases the power of the XYO approach to Web3. Most importantly, it demonstrates that simple tools can drastically improve user security. Security through transparency is the way of the future. The XYO Protocol, Platform, and Ecosystem is the culmination of years of work by myself and the extraordinary team that are here at XY Labs and XYO. Make sure you follow me: XYO posts every day to X, Facebook, and Instagram: Or join our community on Discord, Reddit, or Telegram. Never give up, never surrender! The Downward Spiral of Web3 was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. Q4 2023 is going to be big for the XYO team, as we finalize critical developer tools and unveil new concepts and features. Weâre excited to share our plans with you and canât wait to show you how these developments will revolutionize the XYO ecosystem. Keep in mind, this is only the roadmap updates for Q4â2023. The full 2024 roadmap will also be shared in the next few weeks! Be sure to check out the updated visual Q4 roadmap on the XYO Website! But before we venture forth, letâs talk about whatâs not on the docket for Q4. As you may have guessed, if youâre familiar with our original 2023 roadmap, some of our most exciting and ambitious plans for 2023 have been bumped to Q1 and Q2 of 2024. This includes our Crypto Cards CCG and the new version of XYO World. Wait! Hold your groans, weâre not here to disappoint you today. Thereâs a simple reason for this. Those new products have got to be good, and weâre not going to release them until weâre confident they are. So weâre dedicating Q4 to improving the foundations upon which these productsâââand indeed the entire XYO ecosystemâââare built. Moreover, many of the features queued for Q4 are key features or requirements for our products in 2024. Not only will we be improving the underlying technology, weâll also be taking critical steps towards making future products a reality. Part of this plan includes some really cool stuff we havenât talked about before. Youâre going to like it, we can pretty much guarantee it. But weâll get to that in a momentâââread on. Our most important goal for wrapping up 2023 is to create a stronger foundation for both XYO World (XYOW) and Crypto Cards CCG, not to mention the wider XYO ecosystem. To achieve this, weâve decided to move the launch of both of these products to the first half of 2024, and first focus on building core XYO Platform technology required to develop XYO dApps like these including two new XYO featuresâââPermaShare and Live Sharing. These new concepts are key features for both XYOW and Crypto Cards CCG, and we canât wait to show you how theyâll enhance the user experience for players like you. PermaShare is an XYO Tool that allows you to share a permanent snapshot of a webpage. See a funny typo on CNNâs homepage? Want to share the breaking news article in The New York Times? With PermaShare, you can truly create a permanent snapshot of anything you want to share, and it can never be changed or deleted. This may sound similar to projects like the Internet Archiveâs Wayback Machine. But PermaShare is a critical evolution of the concept. For example, the Wayback Machine doesnât store images, and as a result, a lot of material is lost. PermaShare, on the other hand, provides a true, image-based or cryptographic data snapshot. In contrast, hereâs the earliest Wayback Machine snapshot of Whitehouse.gov, from 1996: Moreover, PermaShare permanently validates the data saved with blockchain cryptography, providing a source and proving that snapshots taken are unaltered. This is the critical provenance the internet needs in the age of digital misinformation and AI. PermaShare is a core feature weâve had planned for XYO World and Crypto Cards all year. In order to share and verify important information from either of those products, weâll include PermaShare. For example, the outcome of a game of CryptoCards can be verified by anyone with access to the PermaShare snapshot for that battle. Weâve decided to release PermaShare as not just a mutual feature of XYO World and Crypto Cards, but as a product unto itself, because its vast array of potential uses demand that it be made easily available to both users and developers. Itâs a fantastic on-ramp, a great reason to include XYO into a third party project or product, and it will doubtlessly be included in more XYO products in the future. Weâre also building out our feature called Live Sharing. This wonât be a product on its own, but it will be an important feature of XYO products moving forward and will be included in XYOâs public SDKs. Itâs already been debuted in Foreventory, and is now in the process of being refined and expanded. This is a little different from the sharing features with which you may be familiar. The data shared is dynamic, and will update when anything changes. For example, in Foreventory, if Descartes begins getting more value out of Netflix than Nietzsche in the future, that will be reflected in the results if anyone visits the shared link. Live Sharing is, simply put, a better way to share mutable data. If you want to share your Crypto Cards score over time, the same share link will always show your most recent statistics. (This synergizes perfectly with PermaShare, which would allow you to share your Live Sharing link at a specific moment in time, proving how much progress youâve made.) Together with COIN, Crypto Cards CCG and XYO World will become the second and third pillars of XYOâs new decentralized gaming ecosystem, which will harness a massive, decentralized network of users and devices to both generate and utilize astonishingly powerful aggregate data. But thereâs something else we havenât told you about yet. Something for which weâre building the foundations. In Q1 2024, weâre introducing the XYO Builder Bounty Program. Get ready for our first ever opportunity for fans to supercharge the power of XYO, coming in 2024. Weâre giving true enthusiasts like you the chance to directly contribute to building XYO and earn exclusive, specialty rewards. Donât miss out on the electrifying updates in our upcoming 2024 Roadmap. Stay tuned, itâs dropping soon! In service of these goals, our future goals, as well as the wider adoption of XYO, weâre also hard at work revitalizing our developer tools. These tools have been designed to make it easy for developers to build and integrate XYO technology into their own apps and projects. We believe that improving these tools will help us reach a wider audience of developers and enthusiasts who are excited about the possibilities afforded by XYO technology.

Remember, this UI in progress and subject to change! pic.twitter.com/M50J11X7He This includes updates to our Explore and Node sites to better reflect the latest developments and improvements in our technology. These tools have become integral parts of the XYO ecosystem, and we recognize the importance of keeping them current and relevant to our users. By updating these web apps, we hope to provide users with an even better experience and make it easier than ever for developers to keep XYO up-to-date in their software projects. Weâve also previously mentioned that there are major, ongoing changes to the XYO SDKs. These changes will augment the same products that PermaShare and Live Sharing have been built to support. By including these features in our public SDKs, we ensure that XYO is as useful as possible for third party developers, and we enable all XYO products to include our best features quickly and efficiently. XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3 Also being updated is the crucial and oft-discussed XYO protocolâââthe set of rules and standards upon which XYO operates. Small, specific changes across all of these developer tools include: The updates to these tools will allow both internal and external developers to build on XYO more efficiently, faster, and with greater ease than ever before. Q4 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting time for the XYO team and our users. While weâve decided not to rush the fun stuff weâd originally planned, we think itâs better to make sure those things are excellent when we do release them next year. And what weâre doing now will not only make those products better, but allow for the incorporation of some of their important features into other softwareâââboth internal and third partyâââthat could greatly benefit from them. From improved developer tools and SDKs, to PermaShare and Live Sharing, weâre building the foundations for fun and exciting new consumer products and pushing the boundaries of whatâs possible in the world of web3. Weâre excited to continue sharing our progress and developments with you, and canât wait to see how these new advancements will revolutionize the industry. And, perhaps most exciting of all, weâre introducing a way for you, the people who love XYO, to help XYO succeed and get rewarded for doing it. We are beyond thrilled to finally get to tell you about the XYO Builder Bounty Program for the very first time and we can hardly wait to tell you more in future updates. XYO posts every day to X, Facebook, and Instagram. Youâll find our latest updates on your favorite: Ready to join the XYO community? Jump into Discord, Reddit, or Telegram! And donât miss the news from the man, himself, Arie Trouw, CEO of XY Labs! When a really big development hits, heâll usually be the first to tell the community, so be sure to follow him on X. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We deeply appreciate those of you who support us, share us with your friends and family, and make up the incredible XYO community! XYOâs Plan for Q4 2023: Exploring Exciting New Features and Improved Developer Tools was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. What a ride! XYOâs Q3 was a fiscal quarter to remember, and thatâs precisely what weâre here to do. Weâll dive into XYOâs Q3 milestones in growth, applications, and open-source development. Weâll also discuss how these developments tie into the three core concepts that define XYOâs trajectory and futureâââsovereignty, provenance, and permanence. In 2023, weâve introduced you to the importance of data sovereignty, to ensure people retain control over their digital lives, and indeed, the data that defines who they are in the digital age. Weâve also confronted the issue of illusory permanence, and with our biggest software launch all yearâââForeventoryâââweâve taken the first steps to helping XYO users achieve true data permanence. And thereâs even more weâve been up to. XYOâs founders, Arie Trouw and Markus Levin, have delved deeper into thought leadership than ever before, providing expert commentary for major publications ranging from Cointelegraph to Nasdaq, and many more. They also continue to make strides in service of the long-term health of XYOâs software, network, and token. The year, of course, is far from over. Stay tuned for our updated Q4 Roadmap and the high-level view of our 2024 Roadmap, coming soon! Now, letâs look back at some of the coolest things weâve done and experienced all year. Q3 kicked off with a roar and the launch of our newest software product, Foreventory! We launched with a data analytics tool that can be used for your Netflix account, analyzing how much use and value youâre getting out of it. XYO https://t.co/cLW4xMvNMY pic.twitter.com/tpCRrOvqy8 Not only can Foreventory show users like you how much value youâre getting out of your Netflix account overall, it can also show you how much each profile is using it, explore which shows your family likes most, or if youâre feeling competitive, duel profiles against one another. Foreventory even lets you dive deep to analyze everything about your watching habits. Whether you just want an at-a-glance tool or you want to feed your inner data nerd, Foreventory can help. This incredibly powerful, easy-to-use tool is free. Hereâs how to try it. Netflix analytics, of course, is just the first tool to become available for Foreventory users. Keep reading, more on that in a bit. Later in July, the CEO of XY Labs, Arie Trouw, published a new piece for Cointelegraph Innovation Circle entitled, âIs 2023 the year weâre able to take control of our data?â This thorough and insightful piece gave readers a primer on how to think about data sovereignty, and why it should be on everyoneâs mind. He also shared his thoughts on the possible directions for data sovereignty in the future, both good and bad, with instruction on how we, as users, can steer things in the right direction. Learn more about data sovereignty here. Our new data analytics tool, Foreventory, represents a leap forward for personal data sovereignty. Let's talk about how it works and why that's important. #XYOhttps://t.co/VF1f5PaA6A pic.twitter.com/cwFQ0JXCxY At the end of July, we explained how Arieâs vision of data sovereignty ties in with Foreventory. We covered why accessing your own data is important, and why being able to make data human-readable is critical to understanding it. We also delved into how to get your hands on the data you rightfully own, and leverage it for your own benefit. We're having a good day today. How about you? Prices via @CoinMarketCap. #XYO pic.twitter.com/uPfpAxcKSA XYOâs August turned out to be, well, august, and began with a proper altcoin summer rally for the XYO token. It brought a lot of new eyes to XYO and we made sure new fans were properly introduced to our project and our vision. Next, our development team launched into the upcoming phase for Foreventoryâââits much-anticipated web3 features. The first of these will be a Rate My NFTs tool (this is the working title and may not be final), which will allow users to obtain individual quality ratings for NFTs across a number of popular blockchains, or rate a collection in any given wallet or gallery using a sample of the NFTs inside. Quality ratings are based on transparent criteria and each of these criteria are laid out in a breakdown of the overall rating of each NFT. Will your favorite NFT get a perfect score like this NyanCat piece from @mntge_io and owned by @SnoopDogg? đ€ #Foreventory pic.twitter.com/fwEBJgADui This feature is currently in the alpha phase of testing. Public beta testing will followâââbe sure to stay tuned to XYOâs social media for updates! XY Labs has been a remote team since Spring of 2020, when COVID lockdowns coincided with the expiration of our lease on our beautiful, and much beloved, downtown San Diego office. We embraced a new way of working, and it opened new horizons for our team. The core XY Labs team now spans across the country, with partners and contractors around the world. This summer we decided to meet up with one another in XYOâs hometown of San Diego. After a wonderful dinner at one of the cityâs legendary microbreweries, Arie explained his vision for XYO and its future to the core XY Labs team. The next day, he treated the team to gourmet tacos and a pool party at his beautiful home where we got to truly feel like a team. (Although some of the code nerds among us could not be stopped from working while we were there. We tried.) Our minds refreshed, we got back to work. Everything XYO does is built on the XYO SDKs. Software Development Kits are the fundamental code which links one project to another, that allow a project to be built on and into XYO. SDKs are the code that defines what XYO is. XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3 One of the benefits of building software products like Foreventory with our SDKs is shining a light on how our SDKs can be improved. This is behind the scenes work thatâs absolutely necessary to the ongoing health and success of XYO. This has become a major focus of XYOâs 2023 Q3. Itâs imperative that the software we releaseâââand that our partners releaseâââbe the best we can make it, and always in the process of improvement. With that in mind, back-end performance improvements, bug fixes, and stabilizations have been rolling out almost daily throughout XYOâs early autumn. Public XYO SDKs: Public XY Labs SDKs: Youâll find documentation for XYOâs open-source platform here. While youâll find much to learn already available, these documents are updated regularly and more documentation will become available over time. Meanwhile, XYOâs other co-founder, Markus Levin, who burns the midnight oil as the Head of Operations for XY Labs, has been hard at work ensuring the health of our business and token. Our friends at Australian Crypto Convention naturally asked him to be one of their guest speakers in Melbourne this year. Not only that, but we were asked to invite ten (ten!) lucky Aussie fans to join us there. Congratulations, Eric! đ„ł Further details are in an email we've sent to you. We'll see you in Melbourne in November!Didn't win? No worries! We've got more tickets and will be doing weekend giveaways throughout October, or you can grab your tickets here: https://t.co/Wp76COskpY pic.twitter.com/oEEMqYJxCY XYO and COIN superfan, Eric, was the very deserving winner of our first giveaway, then we decided to put our heads together with the COIN team and invite only the very best geominers in Victoria (the state where Melbourne is located) to join Markus at the convention in November! To round out Q3, XYO did one of the things thatâs been most requested by the community for years. The XYO token finally made the leap to Layer 2, alleviating the high gas prices and congestion that come with using Ethereum, by adding XYO to the OP Mainnet. BREAKING NEWS: XYO is now on OP Mainnet! #XYO is better with #Optimism. Stay tuned for more Layer 2 news! @optimismFND https://t.co/4mEnlwMjYl pic.twitter.com/wv04UG9wpV We finished the planning, work, and testing at the very end of Q3, and announced this leap forward to the public as our opening improvement of Q4. Optimism bundles Ethereum transactions, allowing for faster transactions with much smaller gas fees. Itâs easy to get started trading using Uniswap! Youâll find full instructions in our announcement. Now that weâve wrapped up XYOâs Q3 for you, hopefully weâve left you hungry for more. Not to worry, our detailed and updated Q4 roadmap is on the way, followed by our high-level 2024 roadmap, so you can see where all the work weâve done in 2023 is headed. XYO posts every day to X, Facebook, and Instagram. Youâll find our latest updates on your favorite: Ready to join the XYO community? Jump into Discord, Reddit, or Telegram! And donât miss the news from the man, himself, Arie Trouw, CEO of XY Labs! When a really big development hits, heâll usually be the first to tell the community, so be sure to follow him on X. We thank you for joining us on this amazing ride called XYO! We deeply appreciate those of you who support us, share us with your friends and family, and make up our incredible community. Stay tuned for our Q4 and 2024 plansâââcoming soon! XYO Q3 Review: A Look Back at a BIG Quarter was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. A question we commonly receive is whether or not XYO would ever consider a Layer 2 solution for high Ethereum gas prices and slow transaction times. Today, weâre proud to announce XYOâs arrival on OP Mainnet! With Optimism, you can expect faster and cheaper XYO token transactions than youâve ever experienced before. Letâs take a look at what Optimism is, how it can benefit XYO holders like you, and what implications this announcement will have for XYO. Optimism is a blockchain scaling solution that offers a high-speed, layer-two scaling option for Ethereum. It boosts Ethereumâs capacity to support thousands of transactions per second while reducing gas fees. With the arrival of XYO on the OP Mainnet, crypto enthusiasts can look forward to lightning fast transaction speeds and significantly lower (read: dirt cheap) gas fees. Optimism uses rollups to bundle transactions into entire blocks, allowing for quicker processing. This approach is much more efficient than Ethereumâs traditional method of processing transactions individually and offers much-needed relief for traders exhausted with high gas prices, peak hours, sluggish transactions, and costly speed boosts. We asked resident crypto genius, Ryan, whoâs one of the megaminds behind developing COIN, to help make sure you know exactly how to power up your XYO with Optimism! If youâve never used Optimism before, youâll need to bridge some ETH as a deposit onto Optimism, as Optimism uses it for gas, just like Ethereum. Helpfully, Optimism has a handy web app. Pro Tip: Transferring ETH to Optimism from Ethereum is quick, but withdrawing it may not be. At the time of publication, depositing ETH to OP Mainnet takes only a few minutes, but withdrawing it takes about a week. Only transfer the ETH and XYO you donât mind not having on Ethereum for a few days! NOTE: Your cryptocurrency is still in your wallet! Itâs moved chains, but has not moved from your wallet. You can toggle between chains within your wallet at any time. Once you have some ETH in your wallet on Optimism, youâll need to bridge some XYO tokens from the Ethereum to Optimism with a deposit. Pro Tip: This approval only changes your spending cap. It does not deposit your XYO tokens to OP Mainnet. Once this transaction is complete, you have XYO tokens in your wallet on the OP Mainnet! Now, switch your wallet from Ethereum to Optimism. If you donât see your XYO in your wallet when itâs switched to Optimism, be sure to add XYO as a custom token in your wallet. (Youâll need to do this for Optimism even if youâve already done it for Ethereum!) Youâll find your XYO in your wallet, but now on Optimism instead of Ethereum! Youâre now free to trade XYO on Uniswap in the usual way. Well, not quite the usual way⊠youâre using Optimism! Hereâs a convenient link to the XYO/ETH trading pair in Uniswap v3 on Optimism. If youâve never traded on Uniswap before, not to worry, our good friends at CoinMarketCap have a step-by-step guide. With XYO arriving on Optimism, crypto enthusiasts can expect not only faster, cheaper transactions, but also an improved trading experience. And the bridge between XYO and Optimism offers a unique opportunity for those seeking liquidity for their crypto assets. Importantly, this leap forward also provides a glimpse into the potential for blockchain technology to transform industries that rely on the quality data provided by XYO. Itâs an exciting time for XYO, and with advancements like this, we can expect even greater innovation in the years to come. Get ready for a new era of improved XYO trading! XYO Now Available on OptimismâââFaster and Cheaper Transactions for True Crypto Enthusiasts was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. With COIN, powered by XYO, youâre incentivized and rewarded to create valuable heuristic data. But while COIN allows you to leverage your ability to create data for your own benefit, thereâs another facet to data collection. As we like to point out, your data is immensely valuable. You should be able to use it for yourself! To that end, the XY Labs team is opening up the COIN back end so you can see the data you generate for COIN. Now in alpha testing, the COIN Location dApp will allow COIN users to not only leverage their data but also access and use it, themselves. Thatâs exciting, but weâre just getting started. We also want to make sure you have that kind of access to all of your data, not just what you generate in our systems. You probably use multiple online services from different companies every single day. You should have this kind of back door, VIP access to your data from every possible source. Are you wondering why you would want that? What use it might be to you? Youâve probably experienced something a few times in your life. An epiphany that a new product, tool, or service you never knew you needed or wanted is better than you expected, more useful and helpful than you could have imagined. Pretty soon, you wonder how you ever got along without it. Youâre going to feel that way about Foreventory. Weâre here to open up a new world of possibilities to you. Thereâs a good chance youâve enjoyed the power of your data in the past. One of the best companies in the world for data transparency (we love to see it) is also the biggest music streaming service in the world: Spotify. Not only do they make sure you have convenient access to your Spotify data every single year, they also make it fun and give you a great way to use it. Every December, now almost as ubiquitous as Christmas lights and holiday sales, comes Spotify Wrapped. If youâre active on social media at all, you probably see your family and friends posting their favorite music for everyone to see. Itâs likely youâve shared yours, too. In sharing the data theyâve collected about you with you, in an engaging and useful way, Spotify has created a reliable, annual viral marketing campaign. And not only do you get to enjoy learning about your own music-listening habits, Spotify allows you to make a playlist of your one hundred favorite songs, in the exact order of how much you listened to them. This is brilliant. Every company should do this, or so you would think. But they donât, and thatâs where XYO comes in. Thereâs a reason a lot of companies donât want you to see the data you generate for them. For one thing, they often sell it, and obfuscation makes paying for access more desirable. For another, you might learn too much from your data for their liking. That may sound a bit conspiratorial, but itâs true. For example, if you use a service and can break down exactly how much itâs costing you relative to how much youâre getting out of it, you might discover youâre not getting much out of it at all. If you find out youâre paying $10 an hour for a video streaming service, the last people who want you to know it is that streaming service. If you play an online game, you might be familiar with price obfuscation in the form of currency conversion. The cash shops of multiplayer online games donât have prices in your native fiat currency. Youâve never paid $15 for a cool mount or skin or power-up. No, you bought a pack of Sparkling Doubloons for a cash price, and then the price you were presented for the Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount was shown in Sparkling Doubloons. This is explicitly so youâd have to stop and figure out how much that mount is actually costing you. Letâs go ahead and do that. 21,000 Sparkling Doubloons: $149.99 Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: 5,000 Sparkling Doubloons (150 Ă· 21000) x 5000 = 35.71428571428571 Actual cost of Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: $35.72 By the way, this pricing isnât made up. Itâs based on a real, very popular online game. Thatâs the power of data when you actually know it, and companies know this data has power. Thatâs why they intentionally stand between you and your data. But thereâs a way to get that data. Letâs dive in. You just need to know how. Even if youâre not familiar with GDPR, youâve definitely encountered its repercussions. GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Itâs a European Union regulation passed in 2016 and implemented in 2018. The law aims to make sure internet users are aware of how their data is collected, how itâs being used, and who has access to it. Since GDPR was implemented, youâll have become familiar with this: But thatâs not all GDPR does. If you request the data collected by any given company which operates within the EU, theyâre compelled to provide it as part of GDPR compliance. The European Union is big, with almost 448 million residents. Itâs also incredibly wealthy. With a combined GDP of all member nations of 16.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, it consistently represents one of the three largest economies in the world, along with the United States and China. Most global companies want to be able to do business in the EU, and doing business in the EU means complying with GDPR. Consequently, most companies that have online services have a way to request your data from them. And you can make this request whether youâre in the EU or not. But if youâve ever done so, you may have noticed thereâs a problem. The output tends to be raw data. Thereâs little context and not much you can do with it. This doesnât look like much, but with the right tool, it can be turned into something amazing. Your raw data can power graphs, playlists, head-to-head comparisons, cost analyses, productivity tracking, and more. It can be used to help you manage your life, your free time, your productive time, your family, your household, or your business. It can even, believe it or not, be a lot of fun to use. XYOâs new web app, Foreventory, the worldâs first decentralized data analytics tool for everyday data, will show you how powerful your data is, and perhaps most importantly, transform how you interact with the data youâre already generating across multiple platforms. New Web3 features are under development and will be available soon, but we invite you to begin with our current beta test here. Weâll keep you updated about important new developments here on our blog. If you have any questions, feedback, or want to talk about Foreventory (or XYO and COIN), youâll find our Discord server here! Written by Maryann Cummings, Head of XYO Operations. The Data Pipeline and the Power of Knowledge was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
XYO is set to launch its sovereign platform, welcoming a new era of decentralized online experiences that put our data in our hands.

SAN DIEGOâââMay 1, 2024âââXYO, the pioneering DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) and Web3 protocol designed to improve the validity, certainty, and value of data, today announced the official beta launch of its native operating system, xyOS. The new platform integrates enhanced data sovereign technologies and seamless usability functionalities to advance more accessible and empowered digital experiences for users to engage in XYOâs DePIN ecosystem and the broader digital landscape.
With xyOS now available to the public, users of all backgrounds can confidently navigate blockchain-based applications with ease while reclaiming ownership of their online interactions in the process. By placing users at the helm, xyOS initiates a paradigm shift in digital autonomy that can bridge the gap between the complex world of decentralized technology and the everyday user.
âThe beta launch of xyOS is a pivotal moment in our journey towards a more sovereign internet for everyone,â said Arie Trouw, co-founder and CEO of XYO. âItâs unfortunate that our current engagements in Web2 are laced with a level of risk at best and exploit at worst. With xyOS, we empower users to take control of their online data using a decentralized platform that simulates the comfort and familiarity of platforms weâve come to know, and all while putting their freedom, autonomy, and innovation at the forefront.â
xyOS, short for XYO Operating System, represents a new chapter for the protocol, leveraging the decentralized benefits of blockchain technology through a user-friendly graphical interface. Similar to an iPhone home screen or Windows desktop, xyOS democratizes access to the XYO Platform, Protocol, and Network, offering a sleek setup of dApps now accessible with a click or tap. By storing all data locally, users retain full control and sovereignty over their information, with the flexibility to modify or delete it at their discretion. From simplifying node setup (and allowing virtually any device to become a node in XYOâs DePIN) to providing real-time insights into XYO technologies, xyOS is a catalyst for change in the digital ecosystem.
Key features of xyOS include an array of core and default dApps such as Profile, Settings, System Health, and Name Service, as well as tools like Quick Search, OS Theming, and a dashboard clock. Together, users can establish new identities and preferences in the XYO ecosystem to begin peer-to-peer engagements and be primed for eventual third-party dApp development.
âTogether, we have the power to shape a digital future that is truly our own,â added Arie Trouw. âWhether itâs safely engaging and exchanging with other users in a peer-to-peer manner, or eventually playing secret mini-games for added fun, xyOS is all about enhancing the user experience. No longer shackled by the constraints of centralized platforms, users can explore, create, exchange, and connect with confidence, knowing that those engagements are truly their own.â
The future of the internet is in our hands, and with xyOS, navigating the online world no longer means leaving our data vulnerable or decentralized technology uncharted. For more information and to sign up for xyOS, visit the platform here.

SAN DIEGOâââMarch 28, 2024âââToday, XYO ($XYO) and XY Labs ($XYLB) proudly announce their membership in the Digital Assets Association (DAA), a non-profit association at the forefront of integrating blockchain technology into the fabric of traditional finance. The DAA aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the transformative potential of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) by facilitating connections between the digital asset landscape and traditional financial institutions. Its founding committee includes leaders and visionaries representing top firms and blockchain projects such as DigiFT, Onfet, Tranchess, Banking Circle, and Bright Point International Digital Assets.
According to Polaris Research, the Asia Pacific blockchain market was valued at USD 2.64 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand, with an annual growth rate of 56.8% in the foreseeable future. This growth indicator, coupled with the trillions of dollars of assets expected to be tokenized by the end of the decade, makes clear that a revolution in blockchain is fast approaching. While asset tokenization is making headway across the world, Asian governments and enterprises are increasingly embracingâââand scalingâââprojects dedicated to asset tokenization as a cornerstone of the new digital economy. Major institutional players in Singapore such as JPMorgan, DBS, and BNY Mellon are exploring various RWA use cases. With experts projecting asset tokenization to be a USD 3T economic opportunity in Asia alone, the region has transformed into a hotbed of asset tokenization activity and adoption, spanning both governments and enterprises.
By joining DAAâs membership community, XYO gains a front-row seat with unprecedented views into critical emerging trends and the cutting-edge companies behind them that are driving the region and world at large forward.
âXYO and XY Labs are honored to join the Digital Assets Association as one of its inaugural members,â says Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO. âThis partnership illustrates our dedication to broadening our engagement in Asia and strengthening XYOâs broader goal to bolster the adoption of groundbreaking blockchain technology through meaningful integrations with traditional finance. As a DAA member, XYO and XY Labs eagerly anticipate participating in regulatory discussions and helping to shape policies that encourage innovation and development in this vibrant industry.â

As 2023 comes to a close, I reflect on the past year of what XYO has been able to accomplish. But more importantly, I look at what we didnât accomplish. Every day, I spend time at my computer, and I think about how I can challenge myself in the pursuit of a more perfect internet. How can we work as a project, as a community, to bring XYO to everyone across the world? How do we create the perfect digital environment for our core values? How do we bring true data sovereignty, data provenance, and data permanence to everyone who rightly deserves it?
XYO stands at the precipice of three, very long years of intense XYO development. In that time, we have grown our incredible team of developers, and weâve perfected the core technology needed for incoming development atop the XYO Platform. XYO 2.0 is ready.
In 2024, we ask you to be ready as well.
Our 2024 roadmap looks a little different than those youâve seen in the past. Our changes take into account the biggest strides weâve made, and they keep in check the stumbles weâve had, too.
Some of the biggest changes youâll notice are:
We have chosen to deprecate the quarterly system for 2024. Itâs a big change, but itâs not an unfamiliar one in the world of tech. This set up allows us to display a clear path for our community without arbitrary, 3-month timelines. Our team-based product mapping offers transparency for the road aheadâââwhere youâll see growth, and who will be responsible for making that a reality. After a variety of products and even more ahead of us, our 2024 will create brand cohesion and clarity. Weâll be working on more videos, more content and even more ways to integrate XYO into your daily life easily. Seamlessly.
2024 will be the year of XYO.

Yes, I said it. The current trajectory of Web3 and blockchain strays further from the original dream of decentralization and sovereignty. Every. Single. Day.
Why? We are in an unstable and still-developing blockchain industry. In the past few years, some of the mightiest blockchain companies have fallen and many others have failed to find lift-off in the first place. Common pitfalls for Web3 focused companies and projects include:
So whatâs the result of all this? Regression. Companies lean back on Web2 standards and safety nets, resulting in less-than-attractive technological advances. Even many Web3 efforts are pivoting back to centralized control with technologies such as upgradable contracts.
More than ever, it is imperative to build with the original purpose in mind:
Personal digital sovereignty and a Sovereign Internet for the world.
At XYO, we have experienced the difficulties a Web2 world presents for Web3 development and growth. Never has it deterred us. Our company has been around since 2012, and our blockchain journey began in early 2018. Since then, weâve launched numerous Web3 products and weathered many a bear market. Recently, we launched our near-term Q4 2023Â Roadmap.
Our goals for Q4 continue to chart a path back to what Web3 was meant to be: a widespread, open source ecosystem that brings data providers and data consumers together in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Goals:
Each of these come together to make Q4 the springboard for an exciting, community-involved 2024. This all starts with large developmental efforts.
We have already begun working on developer documentation. Docusaurus offers a beautiful and well-known layout that is easy for developers to navigate. Additionally, weâve already made strides in improving the Explore and Node website experiences. These sites are primarily useful for developers who need a visual representation of the modules and data they are working with and the relationships between them.
Weâve fully documented our SDKs, but that is just the beginning. To ensure that everyone can contribute and utilize XYO weâre adding:
An introduction to a new code documentation is always useful. While XYO can be added to nearly any project out there, it still presents a new way of coding and thinking about data. To help guide new XYO developers, an introduction, as well as some practice examples, are slated to be added in Q4 2023. This will help new developers start using XYO on day one, and help them feel more comfortable with ideas like: data as XYO payloads, incorporating XYO modules, building custom modules, and contributing to the development of the XYO Platform.
Itâs important that new XYO developers can consistently rely on our reference documentation. Glossaries provide clarity, reduce confusion, and can be the difference between adoption and abandonment. The XYO Ecosystem Glossary will serve as a way to increase comprehension of XYO terms and a method of reducing the time needed to learn prior to building with an XYO SDK or plug-in.
Internally, we use Typescript, and it ensures we maintain a clean, accessible, and easy-to-read codebase. Part of this meticulous style of coding means we catch potential type traps early, and we look forward to having this incorporated in our XYO documentation and codebases.
Our documentation plans for Q4 and beyond also include details on how to easily integrate XYO features into existing projects. By using XYOâs technology, you can improve the sovereignty, performance and user experience of your website. Future XYO integrations detailed in the documentation will be things like code examples for features like PermaShareâââcopy and paste a block of code, and suddenly your existing function can turn your page into a PermaShare link!
Explore is a treasure trove for anyone wanting to analyze XYO data. On explore.xyo.network, you can browse payloads on a public or private archivist, view payload schemas, and see how the XYO modules in your code interact with each other. It also serves as a way for developers to easily visualize what they are building.
Node is designed as a way to run an XYO Node on your browser or device. With decentralization and sovereignty at the heart of everything we do, we made Node so that anyone can create and interact with XYO. No setup. No gatekeeping. No barriers.
Our Builder Bounty program in 2024 (more on that below) could result in quite a few new XYO dApps and module options. When an XYO contributor, codeless or otherwise, wants to use a new dApp that has been created, they can spin up an XYO Node on their computer with node.xyo.network, and run that dApp in the resulting digital environment.
Through node.xyo.network, users will also be able to occasionally complete Builder Bounties. For example, if a request includes running a module on your personal computer, the module will most likely be run within node.xyo.network. Youâd visit node.xyo.network, spin up the correct module on your computer, process data or run the module in some way, and return the result.

Simply put, PermaShare lets you share data with a permanent hash.
Letâs break it down.
PermaShare solves one of the biggest problems we face today. Not being able to trust what we see on the internet.
You know exactly what I mean. We go on the internet daily. Each time we find something, we do a mental âchecklistâ to ensure we can trust the source and the data, itself.
âIs it shared by a trusted account?â, we ask ourselves. âCool, itâs got the check mark. But did they just pay for it? How do I know itâs not trying to trick me?â Next, we question the data itself. âAny weird filters or edits in the image or data itself? Wait, is that closed-caption really what [insert politician here] said, or is that edited?â You do this, subconsciously and consciously, every time you see something new.
It wastes our time, our energy, and our brain power. The tiny bits of frustration build up and affect our outlook on the world. We need something better.
As stated earlier, PermaShare is a hash-based sharing tool. But before we dive into the details of PermaShare, itâs important to understand the underlying technology and the value that comes along with it.
One of the key differentiators for general blockchain technology is the ability to have an audit trail. With the use of cryptographic signatures and blockchain ledgers, you can track the source, or provenance, of data without fear of it being invalid or altered. Being able to easily trace the source of data means we just have to ask one question about our data:
Can I trust the original creator of this data?
Once you can trust the source of the data, itâs easy to establish data confidenceâââany time, anywhere.
PermaShare makes the process of establishing data confidence easier than ever before. It also solves the problem of longevity for shared dataâââeven if a platform goes out of business or you end up shadow-banned, you can always view the data you originally shared.
Social Media platforms present a beautiful example of just how far-reaching the positive effects of PermaShare can be. Letâs start small.
When you share a link today, the social media site you use caches the image. Even if the content on the page changes, the social media site will rely on the image they previously saved for that link. Why? Itâs useful. Caching can improve performance, visual consistency, and reduce data usage, just to name a few of its perks.
PermaShare (and XYO) offers the same level of usefulness, but with a âfewâ extra add-ons: transparency, historical recordkeeping, data authentication, manipulation prevention, verified news, improved user control, and data privacy.
Every year, new social platforms pop up. But in most cases, their core data is the same: text, images, videos, links. But each time a new platform launches, thereâs always an underlying test of longevity. The worst part is the data loss. Thousands of accounts, millions of photos and songs, and a huge blip in the digital global history.
Instead of mourning the data losses from a dead platform, imagine transferring your entire profileâs history to a new one.
Transforming social media material to XYO payloads allows users to take control of the data they create on social platforms. Right now, users assume they have ownership over the content they share, but the underlying reliance on Web2's centralized systems equals instability. Permanent links help maintain the integrity of the content that users originally interacted with. Imagine you had a personal, private website to pull up your old MySpace account, or you could laugh again at a bunch of Vines.
Live Sharing is the corollary to PermaShare. While it maintains the audit trail and blockchain benefits of PermaSharing, it also allows you to share âliveâ data.
This can be anything from the literal âliveâ score of a popular sports game, the relative value of a US Dollar to the British Pound, or the top 5 coins on CoinMarketCap. Live Sharing also solves some of the most annoying problems about sharing today. Hereâs an example:
Robert wants to share a link to his new online business for custom shoes. He shares the link on Facebook, gets some new customers, and life is great! The website homepage Robert shared showcased one of his most popular shoes, and the demand is so high, he has to take it off the site while he waits for shipments. However, even after updating to a new shoe design on the homepage, the Facebook link doesnât update the share image! Suddenly, Robert experiences angry potential customers, who clicked the Facebook link and expected the shoe was available.
Now, imagine Robert had used an XYO Live Sharing link instead.
When Robert shares the link to the homepage of his new website, it displays the live products he decides to showcase. When he launches new designs, or has to take some down for shipment delays, the link automatically updates to the new designs heâs trying to sell. Any new customers that end up on Robertâs site from that link have seen a design that is readily available, and they can go ahead and purchase it that day.
Together, PermaShare and Live Sharing improve something people already interact with every day. But the improvements donât stop here. Having permanent links with easily accessible audit trails is something every industry needs, whether itâs to better track and authenticate blood glucose levels for diabetes monitoring or Olympic race times. PermaShare offers a single, verifiable, isolated recordâââanonymity, access, and control is all in the userâs hands. And weâre already using PermaShare internally today.
Weâre already using PermaShare and Live Sharing in several places across our tech stack internally with excellent results. Weâre working on bringing these XYO-backed benefits to the community so that everyone can leverage the power of XYO.
The XYO Builder Bounty program is slated for early 2024. Bounty programs often focus on bug reportsâââethical hackers locate and report issues with software and receive a reward for doing so. With our bounty program, we wanted to primarily promote the contribution to and adoption of XYO technology and still include Bug Bounties only for release code.
A big focus of the XYO Builder Bounty program is for developers to contribute to the XYO technology and open-source community. We are also considering bounties for non-developers. This means you could get bounties for running codeless tasks, such as running a specific module overnight or computing larger sets of data. During the Builder Bounty Program, this is a manual process, but it will later be replaced with automated payment channels for running nodes that contribute to shared data. These channels will be funded by people using the data, resulting in an automated two sided data marketplace.
Hereâs a Rate My NFT Builder Bounty Example:
Run an XYO Module to generate 10,000 Rate My NFT scores to improve the speed of Foreventory.
In this example, we are asking the community to run a pre-coded module that uses your CPU to generate Rate My NFT scores. Why? Because of the collection size! Itâs over 10,000 NFTs, so it may take some time to scan, rate, and create payloads for that set of data. After youâve completed the task, you can share the result with the team, and receive your bounty.
It may seem like a simple task, but the benefit is huge. After the NFTs have been rated, they can now be more easily accessed as payloads. Itâs faster, more efficient, and available for anyone using Rate My NFTs. And of course, the person providing the data or development is rewarded for their completed task.
Our goal is to have the XYO token serve as a way for the bounty program to start a stable, utility-based economy as we move into 2024.
XYOâs Q4 2023 is bound to be exciting. We have new things lined up for release, and weâve set our sights on a worthwhile list of upgrades to our technology, setting us up for a paradigm-shifting 2024. We are aiming to alter the course of Web3 development, not just provide incremental improvements predicated on the ideas of others. We expect to have our work redefine how Web3 is envisioned and developed. The battle for personal, digital, and shared sovereignty is the most important challenge facing society today, and XYO is at the forefront of that battle.
On a more personal note, I am extremely excited about releasing PermaShare. It not only helps solve ongoing issues that are common on the internet, it also showcases the power of the XYO approach to Web3. Most importantly, it demonstrates that simple tools can drastically improve user security. Security through transparency is the way of the future.
The XYO Protocol, Platform, and Ecosystem is the culmination of years of work by myself and the extraordinary team that are here at XY Labs and XYO.

]]>Q4 2023 is going to be big for the XYO team, as we finalize critical developer tools and unveil new concepts and features. Weâre excited to share our plans with you and canât wait to show you how these developments will revolutionize the XYO ecosystem.
Keep in mind, this is only the roadmap updates for Q4â2023. The full 2024 roadmap will also be shared in the next few weeks!
Be sure to check out the updated visual Q4 roadmap on the XYOÂ Website!
But before we venture forth, letâs talk about whatâs not on the docket for Q4. As you may have guessed, if youâre familiar with our original 2023 roadmap, some of our most exciting and ambitious plans for 2023 have been bumped to Q1 and Q2 of 2024. This includes our Crypto Cards CCG and the new version of XYOÂ World.
Wait! Hold your groans, weâre not here to disappoint you today.
Thereâs a simple reason for this. Those new products have got to be good, and weâre not going to release them until weâre confident they are. So weâre dedicating Q4 to improving the foundations upon which these productsâââand indeed the entire XYO ecosystemâââare built. Moreover, many of the features queued for Q4 are key features or requirements for our products in 2024. Not only will we be improving the underlying technology, weâll also be taking critical steps towards making future products a reality.
Part of this plan includes some really cool stuff we havenât talked about before. Youâre going to like it, we can pretty much guarantee it. But weâll get to that in a momentâââread on.
Our most important goal for wrapping up 2023 is to create a stronger foundation for both XYO World (XYOW) and Crypto Cards CCG, not to mention the wider XYO ecosystem. To achieve this, weâve decided to move the launch of both of these products to the first half of 2024, and first focus on building core XYO Platform technology required to develop XYO dApps like these including two new XYO featuresâââPermaShare and Live Sharing.
These new concepts are key features for both XYOW and Crypto Cards CCG, and we canât wait to show you how theyâll enhance the user experience for players like you.
PermaShare is an XYO Tool that allows you to share a permanent snapshot of a webpage. See a funny typo on CNNâs homepage? Want to share the breaking news article in The New York Times? With PermaShare, you can truly create a permanent snapshot of anything you want to share, and it can never be changed or deleted.
This may sound similar to projects like the Internet Archiveâs Wayback Machine. But PermaShare is a critical evolution of the concept. For example, the Wayback Machine doesnât store images, and as a result, a lot of material is lost. PermaShare, on the other hand, provides a true, image-based or cryptographic data snapshot.
In contrast, hereâs the earliest Wayback Machine snapshot of Whitehouse.gov, from 1996:
Moreover, PermaShare permanently validates the data saved with blockchain cryptography, providing a source and proving that snapshots taken are unaltered. This is the critical provenance the internet needs in the age of digital misinformation and AI.
PermaShare is a core feature weâve had planned for XYO World and Crypto Cards all year. In order to share and verify important information from either of those products, weâll include PermaShare. For example, the outcome of a game of CryptoCards can be verified by anyone with access to the PermaShare snapshot for that battle.
Weâve decided to release PermaShare as not just a mutual feature of XYO World and Crypto Cards, but as a product unto itself, because its vast array of potential uses demand that it be made easily available to both users and developers. Itâs a fantastic on-ramp, a great reason to include XYO into a third party project or product, and it will doubtlessly be included in more XYO products in the future.
Weâre also building out our feature called Live Sharing. This wonât be a product on its own, but it will be an important feature of XYO products moving forward and will be included in XYOâs public SDKs.
Itâs already been debuted in Foreventory, and is now in the process of being refined and expanded.
This is a little different from the sharing features with which you may be familiar. The data shared is dynamic, and will update when anything changes. For example, in Foreventory, if Descartes begins getting more value out of Netflix than Nietzsche in the future, that will be reflected in the results if anyone visits the shared link.
Live Sharing is, simply put, a better way to share mutable data. If you want to share your Crypto Cards score over time, the same share link will always show your most recent statistics. (This synergizes perfectly with PermaShare, which would allow you to share your Live Sharing link at a specific moment in time, proving how much progress youâve made.)
Together with COIN, Crypto Cards CCG and XYO World will become the second and third pillars of XYOâs new decentralized gaming ecosystem, which will harness a massive, decentralized network of users and devices to both generate and utilize astonishingly powerful aggregate data.
But thereâs something else we havenât told you about yet. Something for which weâre building the foundations. In Q1 2024, weâre introducing the XYO Builder Bounty Program.
Get ready for our first ever opportunity for fans to supercharge the power of XYO, coming in 2024. Weâre giving true enthusiasts like you the chance to directly contribute to building XYO and earn exclusive, specialty rewards. Donât miss out on the electrifying updates in our upcoming 2024 Roadmap. Stay tuned, itâs dropping soon!
In service of these goals, our future goals, as well as the wider adoption of XYO, weâre also hard at work revitalizing our developer tools. These tools have been designed to make it easy for developers to build and integrate XYO technology into their own apps and projects. We believe that improving these tools will help us reach a wider audience of developers and enthusiasts who are excited about the possibilities afforded by XYO technology.

This includes updates to our Explore and Node sites to better reflect the latest developments and improvements in our technology. These tools have become integral parts of the XYO ecosystem, and we recognize the importance of keeping them current and relevant to our users. By updating these web apps, we hope to provide users with an even better experience and make it easier than ever for developers to keep XYO up-to-date in their software projects.
Weâve also previously mentioned that there are major, ongoing changes to the XYO SDKs. These changes will augment the same products that PermaShare and Live Sharing have been built to support. By including these features in our public SDKs, we ensure that XYO is as useful as possible for third party developers, and we enable all XYO products to include our best features quickly and efficiently.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
Also being updated is the crucial and oft-discussed XYO protocolâââthe set of rules and standards upon which XYO operates. Small, specific changes across all of these developer tools include:
The updates to these tools will allow both internal and external developers to build on XYO more efficiently, faster, and with greater ease than ever before.
Q4 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting time for the XYO team and our users. While weâve decided not to rush the fun stuff weâd originally planned, we think itâs better to make sure those things are excellent when we do release them next year. And what weâre doing now will not only make those products better, but allow for the incorporation of some of their important features into other softwareâââboth internal and third partyâââthat could greatly benefit from them.
From improved developer tools and SDKs, to PermaShare and Live Sharing, weâre building the foundations for fun and exciting new consumer products and pushing the boundaries of whatâs possible in the world of web3. Weâre excited to continue sharing our progress and developments with you, and canât wait to see how these new advancements will revolutionize the industry.
And, perhaps most exciting of all, weâre introducing a way for you, the people who love XYO, to help XYO succeed and get rewarded for doing it. We are beyond thrilled to finally get to tell you about the XYO Builder Bounty Program for the very first time and we can hardly wait to tell you more in future updates.

]]>
What a ride! XYOâs Q3 was a fiscal quarter to remember, and thatâs precisely what weâre here to do.
Weâll dive into XYOâs Q3 milestones in growth, applications, and open-source development. Weâll also discuss how these developments tie into the three core concepts that define XYOâs trajectory and futureâââsovereignty, provenance, and permanence.
In 2023, weâve introduced you to the importance of data sovereignty, to ensure people retain control over their digital lives, and indeed, the data that defines who they are in the digital age. Weâve also confronted the issue of illusory permanence, and with our biggest software launch all yearâââForeventoryâââweâve taken the first steps to helping XYO users achieve true data permanence.
And thereâs even more weâve been up to. XYOâs founders, Arie Trouw and Markus Levin, have delved deeper into thought leadership than ever before, providing expert commentary for major publications ranging from Cointelegraph to Nasdaq, and many more. They also continue to make strides in service of the long-term health of XYOâs software, network, and token.
The year, of course, is far from over. Stay tuned for our updated Q4 Roadmap and the high-level view of our 2024 Roadmap, coming soon!
Now, letâs look back at some of the coolest things weâve done and experienced all year.
Q3 kicked off with a roar and the launch of our newest software product, Foreventory! We launched with a data analytics tool that can be used for your Netflix account, analyzing how much use and value youâre getting out of it.
XYO https://t.co/cLW4xMvNMY pic.twitter.com/tpCRrOvqy8
Not only can Foreventory show users like you how much value youâre getting out of your Netflix account overall, it can also show you how much each profile is using it, explore which shows your family likes most, or if youâre feeling competitive, duel profiles against one another. Foreventory even lets you dive deep to analyze everything about your watching habits. Whether you just want an at-a-glance tool or you want to feed your inner data nerd, Foreventory can help.
This incredibly powerful, easy-to-use tool is free. Hereâs how to try it.
Netflix analytics, of course, is just the first tool to become available for Foreventory users. Keep reading, more on that in a bit.
Later in July, the CEO of XY Labs, Arie Trouw, published a new piece for Cointelegraph Innovation Circle entitled, âIs 2023 the year weâre able to take control of our data?â This thorough and insightful piece gave readers a primer on how to think about data sovereignty, and why it should be on everyoneâs mind. He also shared his thoughts on the possible directions for data sovereignty in the future, both good and bad, with instruction on how we, as users, can steer things in the right direction. Learn more about data sovereignty here.
Our new data analytics tool, Foreventory, represents a leap forward for personal data sovereignty. Let's talk about how it works and why that's important. #XYOhttps://t.co/VF1f5PaA6A pic.twitter.com/cwFQ0JXCxY
At the end of July, we explained how Arieâs vision of data sovereignty ties in with Foreventory. We covered why accessing your own data is important, and why being able to make data human-readable is critical to understanding it. We also delved into how to get your hands on the data you rightfully own, and leverage it for your own benefit.

XYOâs August turned out to be, well, august, and began with a proper altcoin summer rally for the XYO token. It brought a lot of new eyes to XYO and we made sure new fans were properly introduced to our project and our vision.
Next, our development team launched into the upcoming phase for Foreventoryâââits much-anticipated web3 features. The first of these will be a Rate My NFTs tool (this is the working title and may not be final), which will allow users to obtain individual quality ratings for NFTs across a number of popular blockchains, or rate a collection in any given wallet or gallery using a sample of the NFTs inside. Quality ratings are based on transparent criteria and each of these criteria are laid out in a breakdown of the overall rating of each NFT.

This feature is currently in the alpha phase of testing. Public beta testing will followâââbe sure to stay tuned to XYOâs social media for updates!
XY Labs has been a remote team since Spring of 2020, when COVID lockdowns coincided with the expiration of our lease on our beautiful, and much beloved, downtown San Diego office. We embraced a new way of working, and it opened new horizons for our team. The core XY Labs team now spans across the country, with partners and contractors around the world.
This summer we decided to meet up with one another in XYOâs hometown of San Diego. After a wonderful dinner at one of the cityâs legendary microbreweries, Arie explained his vision for XYO and its future to the core XY Labs team. The next day, he treated the team to gourmet tacos and a pool party at his beautiful home where we got to truly feel like a team. (Although some of the code nerds among us could not be stopped from working while we were there. We tried.)
Our minds refreshed, we got back to work.
Everything XYO does is built on the XYO SDKs. Software Development Kits are the fundamental code which links one project to another, that allow a project to be built on and into XYO. SDKs are the code that defines what XYOÂ is.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
One of the benefits of building software products like Foreventory with our SDKs is shining a light on how our SDKs can be improved. This is behind the scenes work thatâs absolutely necessary to the ongoing health and success of XYO.
This has become a major focus of XYOâs 2023 Q3. Itâs imperative that the software we releaseâââand that our partners releaseâââbe the best we can make it, and always in the process of improvement. With that in mind, back-end performance improvements, bug fixes, and stabilizations have been rolling out almost daily throughout XYOâs early autumn.

Youâll find documentation for XYOâs open-source platform here. While youâll find much to learn already available, these documents are updated regularly and more documentation will become available over time.
Meanwhile, XYOâs other co-founder, Markus Levin, who burns the midnight oil as the Head of Operations for XY Labs, has been hard at work ensuring the health of our business and token. Our friends at Australian Crypto Convention naturally asked him to be one of their guest speakers in Melbourne this year. Not only that, but we were asked to invite ten (ten!) lucky Aussie fans to join us there.
Congratulations, Eric! đ„ł Further details are in an email we've sent to you. We'll see you in Melbourne in November!Didn't win? No worries! We've got more tickets and will be doing weekend giveaways throughout October, or you can grab your tickets here: https://t.co/Wp76COskpY pic.twitter.com/oEEMqYJxCY
XYO and COIN superfan, Eric, was the very deserving winner of our first giveaway, then we decided to put our heads together with the COIN team and invite only the very best geominers in Victoria (the state where Melbourne is located) to join Markus at the convention in November!
To round out Q3, XYO did one of the things thatâs been most requested by the community for years. The XYO token finally made the leap to Layer 2, alleviating the high gas prices and congestion that come with using Ethereum, by adding XYO to the OPÂ Mainnet.
BREAKING NEWS: XYO is now on OP Mainnet! #XYO is better with #Optimism. Stay tuned for more Layer 2 news! @optimismFND https://t.co/4mEnlwMjYl pic.twitter.com/wv04UG9wpV
We finished the planning, work, and testing at the very end of Q3, and announced this leap forward to the public as our opening improvement of Q4.
Optimism bundles Ethereum transactions, allowing for faster transactions with much smaller gas fees. Itâs easy to get started trading using Uniswap! Youâll find full instructions in our announcement.
Now that weâve wrapped up XYOâs Q3 for you, hopefully weâve left you hungry for more. Not to worry, our detailed and updated Q4 roadmap is on the way, followed by our high-level 2024 roadmap, so you can see where all the work weâve done in 2023 is headed.

XYO Q3 Review: A Look Back at a BIG Quarter was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
]]>
A question we commonly receive is whether or not XYO would ever consider a Layer 2 solution for high Ethereum gas prices and slow transaction times.
Today, weâre proud to announce XYOâs arrival on OP Mainnet! With Optimism, you can expect faster and cheaper XYO token transactions than youâve ever experienced before. Letâs take a look at what Optimism is, how it can benefit XYO holders like you, and what implications this announcement will have for XYO.
Optimism is a blockchain scaling solution that offers a high-speed, layer-two scaling option for Ethereum. It boosts Ethereumâs capacity to support thousands of transactions per second while reducing gas fees. With the arrival of XYO on the OP Mainnet, crypto enthusiasts can look forward to lightning fast transaction speeds and significantly lower (read: dirt cheap) gas fees.
Optimism uses rollups to bundle transactions into entire blocks, allowing for quicker processing. This approach is much more efficient than Ethereumâs traditional method of processing transactions individually and offers much-needed relief for traders exhausted with high gas prices, peak hours, sluggish transactions, and costly speed boosts.
We asked resident crypto genius, Ryan, whoâs one of the megaminds behind developing COIN, to help make sure you know exactly how to power up your XYO with Optimism!
If youâve never used Optimism before, youâll need to bridge some ETH as a deposit onto Optimism, as Optimism uses it for gas, just like Ethereum.
Helpfully, Optimism has a handy web app.

Pro Tip: Transferring ETH to Optimism from Ethereum is quick, but withdrawing it may not be. At the time of publication, depositing ETH to OP Mainnet takes only a few minutes, but withdrawing it takes about a week. Only transfer the ETH and XYO you donât mind not having on Ethereum for a few days!

NOTE: Your cryptocurrency is still in your wallet! Itâs moved chains, but has not moved from your wallet. You can toggle between chains within your wallet at any time.

Once you have some ETH in your wallet on Optimism, youâll need to bridge some XYO tokens from the Ethereum to Optimism with a deposit.


Pro Tip: This approval only changes your spending cap. It does not deposit your XYO tokens to OPÂ Mainnet.

Once this transaction is complete, you have XYO tokens in your wallet on the OPÂ Mainnet!
Now, switch your wallet from Ethereum to Optimism. If you donât see your XYO in your wallet when itâs switched to Optimism, be sure to add XYO as a custom token in your wallet. (Youâll need to do this for Optimism even if youâve already done it for Ethereum!)


Youâll find your XYO in your wallet, but now on Optimism instead of Ethereum!

Youâre now free to trade XYO on Uniswap in the usual way. Well, not quite the usual way⊠youâre using Optimism!
Hereâs a convenient link to the XYO/ETH trading pair in Uniswap v3 on Optimism.

If youâve never traded on Uniswap before, not to worry, our good friends at CoinMarketCap have a step-by-step guide.
With XYO arriving on Optimism, crypto enthusiasts can expect not only faster, cheaper transactions, but also an improved trading experience. And the bridge between XYO and Optimism offers a unique opportunity for those seeking liquidity for their crypto assets. Importantly, this leap forward also provides a glimpse into the potential for blockchain technology to transform industries that rely on the quality data provided by XYO.
Itâs an exciting time for XYO, and with advancements like this, we can expect even greater innovation in the years to come. Get ready for a new era of improved XYOÂ trading!

With COIN, powered by XYO, youâre incentivized and rewarded to create valuable heuristic data. But while COIN allows you to leverage your ability to create data for your own benefit, thereâs another facet to data collection. As we like to point out, your data is immensely valuable. You should be able to use it for yourself!
To that end, the XY Labs team is opening up the COIN back end so you can see the data you generate for COIN. Now in alpha testing, the COIN Location dApp will allow COIN users to not only leverage their data but also access and use it, themselves.
Thatâs exciting, but weâre just getting started. We also want to make sure you have that kind of access to all of your data, not just what you generate in our systems. You probably use multiple online services from different companies every single day.
You should have this kind of back door, VIP access to your data from every possible source.
Are you wondering why you would want that? What use it might be to you? Youâve probably experienced something a few times in your life. An epiphany that a new product, tool, or service you never knew you needed or wanted is better than you expected, more useful and helpful than you could have imagined. Pretty soon, you wonder how you ever got along without it.
Youâre going to feel that way about Foreventory. Weâre here to open up a new world of possibilities to you.
Thereâs a good chance youâve enjoyed the power of your data in the past. One of the best companies in the world for data transparency (we love to see it) is also the biggest music streaming service in the world: Spotify. Not only do they make sure you have convenient access to your Spotify data every single year, they also make it fun and give you a great way to use it.
Every December, now almost as ubiquitous as Christmas lights and holiday sales, comes Spotify Wrapped. If youâre active on social media at all, you probably see your family and friends posting their favorite music for everyone to see. Itâs likely youâve shared yours, too.
In sharing the data theyâve collected about you with you, in an engaging and useful way, Spotify has created a reliable, annual viral marketing campaign. And not only do you get to enjoy learning about your own music-listening habits, Spotify allows you to make a playlist of your one hundred favorite songs, in the exact order of how much you listened to them.
This is brilliant. Every company should do this, or so you would think. But they donât, and thatâs where XYO comes in.
Thereâs a reason a lot of companies donât want you to see the data you generate for them. For one thing, they often sell it, and obfuscation makes paying for access more desirable. For another, you might learn too much from your data for their liking.
That may sound a bit conspiratorial, but itâs true.
For example, if you use a service and can break down exactly how much itâs costing you relative to how much youâre getting out of it, you might discover youâre not getting much out of it at all. If you find out youâre paying $10 an hour for a video streaming service, the last people who want you to know it is that streaming service.
If you play an online game, you might be familiar with price obfuscation in the form of currency conversion. The cash shops of multiplayer online games donât have prices in your native fiat currency. Youâve never paid $15 for a cool mount or skin or power-up. No, you bought a pack of Sparkling Doubloons for a cash price, and then the price you were presented for the Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount was shown in Sparkling Doubloons.
This is explicitly so youâd have to stop and figure out how much that mount is actually costing you. Letâs go ahead and do that.
21,000 Sparkling Doubloons: $149.99
Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: 5,000 Sparkling Doubloons
(150 Ă· 21000) x 5000 = 35.71428571428571
Actual cost of Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount:Â $35.72
By the way, this pricing isnât made up. Itâs based on a real, very popular online game.
Thatâs the power of data when you actually know it, and companies know this data has power. Thatâs why they intentionally stand between you and your data.
But thereâs a way to get that data. Letâs dive in.
You just need to know how. Even if youâre not familiar with GDPR, youâve definitely encountered its repercussions.
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Itâs a European Union regulation passed in 2016 and implemented in 2018. The law aims to make sure internet users are aware of how their data is collected, how itâs being used, and who has access to it. Since GDPR was implemented, youâll have become familiar with this:
But thatâs not all GDPR does. If you request the data collected by any given company which operates within the EU, theyâre compelled to provide it as part of GDPR compliance.
The European Union is big, with almost 448 million residents. Itâs also incredibly wealthy. With a combined GDP of all member nations of 16.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, it consistently represents one of the three largest economies in the world, along with the United States and China.
Most global companies want to be able to do business in the EU, and doing business in the EU means complying with GDPR. Consequently, most companies that have online services have a way to request your data from them. And you can make this request whether youâre in the EU or not.
But if youâve ever done so, you may have noticed thereâs a problem. The output tends to be raw data. Thereâs little context and not much you can do with it.
This doesnât look like much, but with the right tool, it can be turned into something amazing. Your raw data can power graphs, playlists, head-to-head comparisons, cost analyses, productivity tracking, and more. It can be used to help you manage your life, your free time, your productive time, your family, your household, or your business. It can even, believe it or not, be a lot of fun to use.
XYOâs new web app, Foreventory, the worldâs first decentralized data analytics tool for everyday data, will show you how powerful your data is, and perhaps most importantly, transform how you interact with the data youâre already generating across multiple platforms. New Web3 features are under development and will be available soon, but we invite you to begin with our current beta test here. Weâll keep you updated about important new developments here on our blog.
If you have any questions, feedback, or want to talk about Foreventory (or XYO and COIN), youâll find our Discord server here!

SAN DIEGOâââMay 1, 2024âââXYO, the pioneering DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) and Web3 protocol designed to improve the validity, certainty, and value of data, today announced the official beta launch of its native operating system, xyOS. The new platform integrates enhanced data sovereign technologies and seamless usability functionalities to advance more accessible and empowered digital experiences for users to engage in XYOâs DePIN ecosystem and the broader digital landscape.
With xyOS now available to the public, users of all backgrounds can confidently navigate blockchain-based applications with ease while reclaiming ownership of their online interactions in the process. By placing users at the helm, xyOS initiates a paradigm shift in digital autonomy that can bridge the gap between the complex world of decentralized technology and the everyday user.
âThe beta launch of xyOS is a pivotal moment in our journey towards a more sovereign internet for everyone,â said Arie Trouw, co-founder and CEO of XYO. âItâs unfortunate that our current engagements in Web2 are laced with a level of risk at best and exploit at worst. With xyOS, we empower users to take control of their online data using a decentralized platform that simulates the comfort and familiarity of platforms weâve come to know, and all while putting their freedom, autonomy, and innovation at the forefront.â
xyOS, short for XYO Operating System, represents a new chapter for the protocol, leveraging the decentralized benefits of blockchain technology through a user-friendly graphical interface. Similar to an iPhone home screen or Windows desktop, xyOS democratizes access to the XYO Platform, Protocol, and Network, offering a sleek setup of dApps now accessible with a click or tap. By storing all data locally, users retain full control and sovereignty over their information, with the flexibility to modify or delete it at their discretion. From simplifying node setup (and allowing virtually any device to become a node in XYOâs DePIN) to providing real-time insights into XYO technologies, xyOS is a catalyst for change in the digital ecosystem.
Key features of xyOS include an array of core and default dApps such as Profile, Settings, System Health, and Name Service, as well as tools like Quick Search, OS Theming, and a dashboard clock. Together, users can establish new identities and preferences in the XYO ecosystem to begin peer-to-peer engagements and be primed for eventual third-party dApp development.
âTogether, we have the power to shape a digital future that is truly our own,â added Arie Trouw. âWhether itâs safely engaging and exchanging with other users in a peer-to-peer manner, or eventually playing secret mini-games for added fun, xyOS is all about enhancing the user experience. No longer shackled by the constraints of centralized platforms, users can explore, create, exchange, and connect with confidence, knowing that those engagements are truly their own.â
The future of the internet is in our hands, and with xyOS, navigating the online world no longer means leaving our data vulnerable or decentralized technology uncharted. For more information and to sign up for xyOS, visit the platform here.

SAN DIEGOâââMarch 28, 2024âââToday, XYO ($XYO) and XY Labs ($XYLB) proudly announce their membership in the Digital Assets Association (DAA), a non-profit association at the forefront of integrating blockchain technology into the fabric of traditional finance. The DAA aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the transformative potential of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) by facilitating connections between the digital asset landscape and traditional financial institutions. Its founding committee includes leaders and visionaries representing top firms and blockchain projects such as DigiFT, Onfet, Tranchess, Banking Circle, and Bright Point International Digital Assets.
According to Polaris Research, the Asia Pacific blockchain market was valued at USD 2.64 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand, with an annual growth rate of 56.8% in the foreseeable future. This growth indicator, coupled with the trillions of dollars of assets expected to be tokenized by the end of the decade, makes clear that a revolution in blockchain is fast approaching. While asset tokenization is making headway across the world, Asian governments and enterprises are increasingly embracingâââand scalingâââprojects dedicated to asset tokenization as a cornerstone of the new digital economy. Major institutional players in Singapore such as JPMorgan, DBS, and BNY Mellon are exploring various RWA use cases. With experts projecting asset tokenization to be a USD 3T economic opportunity in Asia alone, the region has transformed into a hotbed of asset tokenization activity and adoption, spanning both governments and enterprises.
By joining DAAâs membership community, XYO gains a front-row seat with unprecedented views into critical emerging trends and the cutting-edge companies behind them that are driving the region and world at large forward.
âXYO and XY Labs are honored to join the Digital Assets Association as one of its inaugural members,â says Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO. âThis partnership illustrates our dedication to broadening our engagement in Asia and strengthening XYOâs broader goal to bolster the adoption of groundbreaking blockchain technology through meaningful integrations with traditional finance. As a DAA member, XYO and XY Labs eagerly anticipate participating in regulatory discussions and helping to shape policies that encourage innovation and development in this vibrant industry.â
âThe Digital Assets Association is pleased to welcome cutting-edge data sovereignty protocol XYO to the organization,â says Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO of DigiFT, a founding member of DAA. âWe are confident that APAC will continue its momentum and further bolster its position as a blockchain hub. The DAA was established to enable the financial services ecosystem to fully capitalize on the immense potential of tokenization, and collaborating with XYO brings DAA one step closer to fulfilling this vision.â

As 2023 comes to a close, I reflect on the past year of what XYO has been able to accomplish. But more importantly, I look at what we didnât accomplish. Every day, I spend time at my computer, and I think about how I can challenge myself in the pursuit of a more perfect internet. How can we work as a project, as a community, to bring XYO to everyone across the world? How do we create the perfect digital environment for our core values? How do we bring true data sovereignty, data provenance, and data permanence to everyone who rightly deserves it?
XYO stands at the precipice of three, very long years of intense XYO development. In that time, we have grown our incredible team of developers, and weâve perfected the core technology needed for incoming development atop the XYO Platform. XYO 2.0 is ready.
In 2024, we ask you to be ready as well.
Our 2024 roadmap looks a little different than those youâve seen in the past. Our changes take into account the biggest strides weâve made, and they keep in check the stumbles weâve had, too.
Some of the biggest changes youâll notice are:
We have chosen to deprecate the quarterly system for 2024. Itâs a big change, but itâs not an unfamiliar one in the world of tech. This set up allows us to display a clear path for our community without arbitrary, 3-month timelines. Our team-based product mapping offers transparency for the road aheadâââwhere youâll see growth, and who will be responsible for making that a reality. After a variety of products and even more ahead of us, our 2024 will create brand cohesion and clarity. Weâll be working on more videos, more content and even more ways to integrate XYO into your daily life easily. Seamlessly.
2024 will be the year of XYO.

Yes, I said it. The current trajectory of Web3 and blockchain strays further from the original dream of decentralization and sovereignty. Every. Single. Day.
Why? We are in an unstable and still-developing blockchain industry. In the past few years, some of the mightiest blockchain companies have fallen and many others have failed to find lift-off in the first place. Common pitfalls for Web3 focused companies and projects include:
So whatâs the result of all this? Regression. Companies lean back on Web2 standards and safety nets, resulting in less-than-attractive technological advances. Even many Web3 efforts are pivoting back to centralized control with technologies such as upgradable contracts.
More than ever, it is imperative to build with the original purpose in mind:
Personal digital sovereignty and a Sovereign Internet for the world.
At XYO, we have experienced the difficulties a Web2 world presents for Web3 development and growth. Never has it deterred us. Our company has been around since 2012, and our blockchain journey began in early 2018. Since then, weâve launched numerous Web3 products and weathered many a bear market. Recently, we launched our near-term Q4 2023Â Roadmap.
Our goals for Q4 continue to chart a path back to what Web3 was meant to be: a widespread, open source ecosystem that brings data providers and data consumers together in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Goals:
Each of these come together to make Q4 the springboard for an exciting, community-involved 2024. This all starts with large developmental efforts.
We have already begun working on developer documentation. Docusaurus offers a beautiful and well-known layout that is easy for developers to navigate. Additionally, weâve already made strides in improving the Explore and Node website experiences. These sites are primarily useful for developers who need a visual representation of the modules and data they are working with and the relationships between them.
Weâve fully documented our SDKs, but that is just the beginning. To ensure that everyone can contribute and utilize XYO weâre adding:
An introduction to a new code documentation is always useful. While XYO can be added to nearly any project out there, it still presents a new way of coding and thinking about data. To help guide new XYO developers, an introduction, as well as some practice examples, are slated to be added in Q4 2023. This will help new developers start using XYO on day one, and help them feel more comfortable with ideas like: data as XYO payloads, incorporating XYO modules, building custom modules, and contributing to the development of the XYO Platform.
Itâs important that new XYO developers can consistently rely on our reference documentation. Glossaries provide clarity, reduce confusion, and can be the difference between adoption and abandonment. The XYO Ecosystem Glossary will serve as a way to increase comprehension of XYO terms and a method of reducing the time needed to learn prior to building with an XYO SDK or plug-in.
Internally, we use Typescript, and it ensures we maintain a clean, accessible, and easy-to-read codebase. Part of this meticulous style of coding means we catch potential type traps early, and we look forward to having this incorporated in our XYO documentation and codebases.
Our documentation plans for Q4 and beyond also include details on how to easily integrate XYO features into existing projects. By using XYOâs technology, you can improve the sovereignty, performance and user experience of your website. Future XYO integrations detailed in the documentation will be things like code examples for features like PermaShareâââcopy and paste a block of code, and suddenly your existing function can turn your page into a PermaShare link!
Explore is a treasure trove for anyone wanting to analyze XYO data. On explore.xyo.network, you can browse payloads on a public or private archivist, view payload schemas, and see how the XYO modules in your code interact with each other. It also serves as a way for developers to easily visualize what they are building.
Node is designed as a way to run an XYO Node on your browser or device. With decentralization and sovereignty at the heart of everything we do, we made Node so that anyone can create and interact with XYO. No setup. No gatekeeping. No barriers.
Our Builder Bounty program in 2024 (more on that below) could result in quite a few new XYO dApps and module options. When an XYO contributor, codeless or otherwise, wants to use a new dApp that has been created, they can spin up an XYO Node on their computer with node.xyo.network, and run that dApp in the resulting digital environment.
Through node.xyo.network, users will also be able to occasionally complete Builder Bounties. For example, if a request includes running a module on your personal computer, the module will most likely be run within node.xyo.network. Youâd visit node.xyo.network, spin up the correct module on your computer, process data or run the module in some way, and return the result.

Simply put, PermaShare lets you share data with a permanent hash.
Letâs break it down.
PermaShare solves one of the biggest problems we face today. Not being able to trust what we see on the internet.
You know exactly what I mean. We go on the internet daily. Each time we find something, we do a mental âchecklistâ to ensure we can trust the source and the data, itself.
âIs it shared by a trusted account?â, we ask ourselves. âCool, itâs got the check mark. But did they just pay for it? How do I know itâs not trying to trick me?â Next, we question the data itself. âAny weird filters or edits in the image or data itself? Wait, is that closed-caption really what [insert politician here] said, or is that edited?â You do this, subconsciously and consciously, every time you see something new.
It wastes our time, our energy, and our brain power. The tiny bits of frustration build up and affect our outlook on the world. We need something better.
As stated earlier, PermaShare is a hash-based sharing tool. But before we dive into the details of PermaShare, itâs important to understand the underlying technology and the value that comes along with it.
One of the key differentiators for general blockchain technology is the ability to have an audit trail. With the use of cryptographic signatures and blockchain ledgers, you can track the source, or provenance, of data without fear of it being invalid or altered. Being able to easily trace the source of data means we just have to ask one question about our data:
Can I trust the original creator of this data?
Once you can trust the source of the data, itâs easy to establish data confidenceâââany time, anywhere.
PermaShare makes the process of establishing data confidence easier than ever before. It also solves the problem of longevity for shared dataâââeven if a platform goes out of business or you end up shadow-banned, you can always view the data you originally shared.
Social Media platforms present a beautiful example of just how far-reaching the positive effects of PermaShare can be. Letâs start small.
When you share a link today, the social media site you use caches the image. Even if the content on the page changes, the social media site will rely on the image they previously saved for that link. Why? Itâs useful. Caching can improve performance, visual consistency, and reduce data usage, just to name a few of its perks.
PermaShare (and XYO) offers the same level of usefulness, but with a âfewâ extra add-ons: transparency, historical recordkeeping, data authentication, manipulation prevention, verified news, improved user control, and data privacy.
Every year, new social platforms pop up. But in most cases, their core data is the same: text, images, videos, links. But each time a new platform launches, thereâs always an underlying test of longevity. The worst part is the data loss. Thousands of accounts, millions of photos and songs, and a huge blip in the digital global history.
Instead of mourning the data losses from a dead platform, imagine transferring your entire profileâs history to a new one.
Transforming social media material to XYO payloads allows users to take control of the data they create on social platforms. Right now, users assume they have ownership over the content they share, but the underlying reliance on Web2's centralized systems equals instability. Permanent links help maintain the integrity of the content that users originally interacted with. Imagine you had a personal, private website to pull up your old MySpace account, or you could laugh again at a bunch of Vines.
Live Sharing is the corollary to PermaShare. While it maintains the audit trail and blockchain benefits of PermaSharing, it also allows you to share âliveâ data.
This can be anything from the literal âliveâ score of a popular sports game, the relative value of a US Dollar to the British Pound, or the top 5 coins on CoinMarketCap. Live Sharing also solves some of the most annoying problems about sharing today. Hereâs an example:
Robert wants to share a link to his new online business for custom shoes. He shares the link on Facebook, gets some new customers, and life is great! The website homepage Robert shared showcased one of his most popular shoes, and the demand is so high, he has to take it off the site while he waits for shipments. However, even after updating to a new shoe design on the homepage, the Facebook link doesnât update the share image! Suddenly, Robert experiences angry potential customers, who clicked the Facebook link and expected the shoe was available.
Now, imagine Robert had used an XYO Live Sharing link instead.
When Robert shares the link to the homepage of his new website, it displays the live products he decides to showcase. When he launches new designs, or has to take some down for shipment delays, the link automatically updates to the new designs heâs trying to sell. Any new customers that end up on Robertâs site from that link have seen a design that is readily available, and they can go ahead and purchase it that day.
Together, PermaShare and Live Sharing improve something people already interact with every day. But the improvements donât stop here. Having permanent links with easily accessible audit trails is something every industry needs, whether itâs to better track and authenticate blood glucose levels for diabetes monitoring or Olympic race times. PermaShare offers a single, verifiable, isolated recordâââanonymity, access, and control is all in the userâs hands. And weâre already using PermaShare internally today.
Weâre already using PermaShare and Live Sharing in several places across our tech stack internally with excellent results. Weâre working on bringing these XYO-backed benefits to the community so that everyone can leverage the power of XYO.
The XYO Builder Bounty program is slated for early 2024. Bounty programs often focus on bug reportsâââethical hackers locate and report issues with software and receive a reward for doing so. With our bounty program, we wanted to primarily promote the contribution to and adoption of XYO technology and still include Bug Bounties only for release code.
A big focus of the XYO Builder Bounty program is for developers to contribute to the XYO technology and open-source community. We are also considering bounties for non-developers. This means you could get bounties for running codeless tasks, such as running a specific module overnight or computing larger sets of data. During the Builder Bounty Program, this is a manual process, but it will later be replaced with automated payment channels for running nodes that contribute to shared data. These channels will be funded by people using the data, resulting in an automated two sided data marketplace.
Hereâs a Rate My NFT Builder Bounty Example:
Run an XYO Module to generate 10,000 Rate My NFT scores to improve the speed of Foreventory.
In this example, we are asking the community to run a pre-coded module that uses your CPU to generate Rate My NFT scores. Why? Because of the collection size! Itâs over 10,000 NFTs, so it may take some time to scan, rate, and create payloads for that set of data. After youâve completed the task, you can share the result with the team, and receive your bounty.
It may seem like a simple task, but the benefit is huge. After the NFTs have been rated, they can now be more easily accessed as payloads. Itâs faster, more efficient, and available for anyone using Rate My NFTs. And of course, the person providing the data or development is rewarded for their completed task.
Our goal is to have the XYO token serve as a way for the bounty program to start a stable, utility-based economy as we move into 2024.
XYOâs Q4 2023 is bound to be exciting. We have new things lined up for release, and weâve set our sights on a worthwhile list of upgrades to our technology, setting us up for a paradigm-shifting 2024. We are aiming to alter the course of Web3 development, not just provide incremental improvements predicated on the ideas of others. We expect to have our work redefine how Web3 is envisioned and developed. The battle for personal, digital, and shared sovereignty is the most important challenge facing society today, and XYO is at the forefront of that battle.
On a more personal note, I am extremely excited about releasing PermaShare. It not only helps solve ongoing issues that are common on the internet, it also showcases the power of the XYO approach to Web3. Most importantly, it demonstrates that simple tools can drastically improve user security. Security through transparency is the way of the future.
The XYO Protocol, Platform, and Ecosystem is the culmination of years of work by myself and the extraordinary team that are here at XY Labs and XYO.

]]>Q4 2023 is going to be big for the XYO team, as we finalize critical developer tools and unveil new concepts and features. Weâre excited to share our plans with you and canât wait to show you how these developments will revolutionize the XYO ecosystem.
Keep in mind, this is only the roadmap updates for Q4â2023. The full 2024 roadmap will also be shared in the next few weeks!
Be sure to check out the updated visual Q4 roadmap on the XYOÂ Website!
But before we venture forth, letâs talk about whatâs not on the docket for Q4. As you may have guessed, if youâre familiar with our original 2023 roadmap, some of our most exciting and ambitious plans for 2023 have been bumped to Q1 and Q2 of 2024. This includes our Crypto Cards CCG and the new version of XYOÂ World.
Wait! Hold your groans, weâre not here to disappoint you today.
Thereâs a simple reason for this. Those new products have got to be good, and weâre not going to release them until weâre confident they are. So weâre dedicating Q4 to improving the foundations upon which these productsâââand indeed the entire XYO ecosystemâââare built. Moreover, many of the features queued for Q4 are key features or requirements for our products in 2024. Not only will we be improving the underlying technology, weâll also be taking critical steps towards making future products a reality.
Part of this plan includes some really cool stuff we havenât talked about before. Youâre going to like it, we can pretty much guarantee it. But weâll get to that in a momentâââread on.
Our most important goal for wrapping up 2023 is to create a stronger foundation for both XYO World (XYOW) and Crypto Cards CCG, not to mention the wider XYO ecosystem. To achieve this, weâve decided to move the launch of both of these products to the first half of 2024, and first focus on building core XYO Platform technology required to develop XYO dApps like these including two new XYO featuresâââPermaShare and Live Sharing.
These new concepts are key features for both XYOW and Crypto Cards CCG, and we canât wait to show you how theyâll enhance the user experience for players like you.
PermaShare is an XYO Tool that allows you to share a permanent snapshot of a webpage. See a funny typo on CNNâs homepage? Want to share the breaking news article in The New York Times? With PermaShare, you can truly create a permanent snapshot of anything you want to share, and it can never be changed or deleted.
This may sound similar to projects like the Internet Archiveâs Wayback Machine. But PermaShare is a critical evolution of the concept. For example, the Wayback Machine doesnât store images, and as a result, a lot of material is lost. PermaShare, on the other hand, provides a true, image-based or cryptographic data snapshot.
In contrast, hereâs the earliest Wayback Machine snapshot of Whitehouse.gov, from 1996:
Moreover, PermaShare permanently validates the data saved with blockchain cryptography, providing a source and proving that snapshots taken are unaltered. This is the critical provenance the internet needs in the age of digital misinformation and AI.
PermaShare is a core feature weâve had planned for XYO World and Crypto Cards all year. In order to share and verify important information from either of those products, weâll include PermaShare. For example, the outcome of a game of CryptoCards can be verified by anyone with access to the PermaShare snapshot for that battle.
Weâve decided to release PermaShare as not just a mutual feature of XYO World and Crypto Cards, but as a product unto itself, because its vast array of potential uses demand that it be made easily available to both users and developers. Itâs a fantastic on-ramp, a great reason to include XYO into a third party project or product, and it will doubtlessly be included in more XYO products in the future.
Weâre also building out our feature called Live Sharing. This wonât be a product on its own, but it will be an important feature of XYO products moving forward and will be included in XYOâs public SDKs.
Itâs already been debuted in Foreventory, and is now in the process of being refined and expanded.
This is a little different from the sharing features with which you may be familiar. The data shared is dynamic, and will update when anything changes. For example, in Foreventory, if Descartes begins getting more value out of Netflix than Nietzsche in the future, that will be reflected in the results if anyone visits the shared link.
Live Sharing is, simply put, a better way to share mutable data. If you want to share your Crypto Cards score over time, the same share link will always show your most recent statistics. (This synergizes perfectly with PermaShare, which would allow you to share your Live Sharing link at a specific moment in time, proving how much progress youâve made.)
Together with COIN, Crypto Cards CCG and XYO World will become the second and third pillars of XYOâs new decentralized gaming ecosystem, which will harness a massive, decentralized network of users and devices to both generate and utilize astonishingly powerful aggregate data.
But thereâs something else we havenât told you about yet. Something for which weâre building the foundations. In Q1 2024, weâre introducing the XYO Builder Bounty Program.
Get ready for our first ever opportunity for fans to supercharge the power of XYO, coming in 2024. Weâre giving true enthusiasts like you the chance to directly contribute to building XYO and earn exclusive, specialty rewards. Donât miss out on the electrifying updates in our upcoming 2024 Roadmap. Stay tuned, itâs dropping soon!
In service of these goals, our future goals, as well as the wider adoption of XYO, weâre also hard at work revitalizing our developer tools. These tools have been designed to make it easy for developers to build and integrate XYO technology into their own apps and projects. We believe that improving these tools will help us reach a wider audience of developers and enthusiasts who are excited about the possibilities afforded by XYO technology.

This includes updates to our Explore and Node sites to better reflect the latest developments and improvements in our technology. These tools have become integral parts of the XYO ecosystem, and we recognize the importance of keeping them current and relevant to our users. By updating these web apps, we hope to provide users with an even better experience and make it easier than ever for developers to keep XYO up-to-date in their software projects.
Weâve also previously mentioned that there are major, ongoing changes to the XYO SDKs. These changes will augment the same products that PermaShare and Live Sharing have been built to support. By including these features in our public SDKs, we ensure that XYO is as useful as possible for third party developers, and we enable all XYO products to include our best features quickly and efficiently.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
Also being updated is the crucial and oft-discussed XYO protocolâââthe set of rules and standards upon which XYO operates. Small, specific changes across all of these developer tools include:
The updates to these tools will allow both internal and external developers to build on XYO more efficiently, faster, and with greater ease than ever before.
Q4 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting time for the XYO team and our users. While weâve decided not to rush the fun stuff weâd originally planned, we think itâs better to make sure those things are excellent when we do release them next year. And what weâre doing now will not only make those products better, but allow for the incorporation of some of their important features into other softwareâââboth internal and third partyâââthat could greatly benefit from them.
From improved developer tools and SDKs, to PermaShare and Live Sharing, weâre building the foundations for fun and exciting new consumer products and pushing the boundaries of whatâs possible in the world of web3. Weâre excited to continue sharing our progress and developments with you, and canât wait to see how these new advancements will revolutionize the industry.
And, perhaps most exciting of all, weâre introducing a way for you, the people who love XYO, to help XYO succeed and get rewarded for doing it. We are beyond thrilled to finally get to tell you about the XYO Builder Bounty Program for the very first time and we can hardly wait to tell you more in future updates.

What a ride! XYOâs Q3 was a fiscal quarter to remember, and thatâs precisely what weâre here to do.
Weâll dive into XYOâs Q3 milestones in growth, applications, and open-source development. Weâll also discuss how these developments tie into the three core concepts that define XYOâs trajectory and futureâââsovereignty, provenance, and permanence.
In 2023, weâve introduced you to the importance of data sovereignty, to ensure people retain control over their digital lives, and indeed, the data that defines who they are in the digital age. Weâve also confronted the issue of illusory permanence, and with our biggest software launch all yearâââForeventoryâââweâve taken the first steps to helping XYO users achieve true data permanence.
And thereâs even more weâve been up to. XYOâs founders, Arie Trouw and Markus Levin, have delved deeper into thought leadership than ever before, providing expert commentary for major publications ranging from Cointelegraph to Nasdaq, and many more. They also continue to make strides in service of the long-term health of XYOâs software, network, and token.
The year, of course, is far from over. Stay tuned for our updated Q4 Roadmap and the high-level view of our 2024 Roadmap, coming soon!
Now, letâs look back at some of the coolest things weâve done and experienced all year.
Q3 kicked off with a roar and the launch of our newest software product, Foreventory! We launched with a data analytics tool that can be used for your Netflix account, analyzing how much use and value youâre getting out of it.
XYO https://t.co/cLW4xMvNMY pic.twitter.com/tpCRrOvqy8
Not only can Foreventory show users like you how much value youâre getting out of your Netflix account overall, it can also show you how much each profile is using it, explore which shows your family likes most, or if youâre feeling competitive, duel profiles against one another. Foreventory even lets you dive deep to analyze everything about your watching habits. Whether you just want an at-a-glance tool or you want to feed your inner data nerd, Foreventory can help.
This incredibly powerful, easy-to-use tool is free. Hereâs how to try it.
Netflix analytics, of course, is just the first tool to become available for Foreventory users. Keep reading, more on that in a bit.
Later in July, the CEO of XY Labs, Arie Trouw, published a new piece for Cointelegraph Innovation Circle entitled, âIs 2023 the year weâre able to take control of our data?â This thorough and insightful piece gave readers a primer on how to think about data sovereignty, and why it should be on everyoneâs mind. He also shared his thoughts on the possible directions for data sovereignty in the future, both good and bad, with instruction on how we, as users, can steer things in the right direction. Learn more about data sovereignty here.
Our new data analytics tool, Foreventory, represents a leap forward for personal data sovereignty. Let's talk about how it works and why that's important. #XYOhttps://t.co/VF1f5PaA6A pic.twitter.com/cwFQ0JXCxY
At the end of July, we explained how Arieâs vision of data sovereignty ties in with Foreventory. We covered why accessing your own data is important, and why being able to make data human-readable is critical to understanding it. We also delved into how to get your hands on the data you rightfully own, and leverage it for your own benefit.

XYOâs August turned out to be, well, august, and began with a proper altcoin summer rally for the XYO token. It brought a lot of new eyes to XYO and we made sure new fans were properly introduced to our project and our vision.
Next, our development team launched into the upcoming phase for Foreventoryâââits much-anticipated web3 features. The first of these will be a Rate My NFTs tool (this is the working title and may not be final), which will allow users to obtain individual quality ratings for NFTs across a number of popular blockchains, or rate a collection in any given wallet or gallery using a sample of the NFTs inside. Quality ratings are based on transparent criteria and each of these criteria are laid out in a breakdown of the overall rating of each NFT.
Will your favorite NFT get a perfect score like this NyanCat piece from @mntge_io and owned by @SnoopDogg? đ€ #Foreventory pic.twitter.com/fwEBJgADui
This feature is currently in the alpha phase of testing. Public beta testing will followâââbe sure to stay tuned to XYOâs social media for updates!
XY Labs has been a remote team since Spring of 2020, when COVID lockdowns coincided with the expiration of our lease on our beautiful, and much beloved, downtown San Diego office. We embraced a new way of working, and it opened new horizons for our team. The core XY Labs team now spans across the country, with partners and contractors around the world.
This summer we decided to meet up with one another in XYOâs hometown of San Diego. After a wonderful dinner at one of the cityâs legendary microbreweries, Arie explained his vision for XYO and its future to the core XY Labs team. The next day, he treated the team to gourmet tacos and a pool party at his beautiful home where we got to truly feel like a team. (Although some of the code nerds among us could not be stopped from working while we were there. We tried.)
Our minds refreshed, we got back to work.
Everything XYO does is built on the XYO SDKs. Software Development Kits are the fundamental code which links one project to another, that allow a project to be built on and into XYO. SDKs are the code that defines what XYOÂ is.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
One of the benefits of building software products like Foreventory with our SDKs is shining a light on how our SDKs can be improved. This is behind the scenes work thatâs absolutely necessary to the ongoing health and success of XYO.
This has become a major focus of XYOâs 2023 Q3. Itâs imperative that the software we releaseâââand that our partners releaseâââbe the best we can make it, and always in the process of improvement. With that in mind, back-end performance improvements, bug fixes, and stabilizations have been rolling out almost daily throughout XYOâs early autumn.

Youâll find documentation for XYOâs open-source platform here. While youâll find much to learn already available, these documents are updated regularly and more documentation will become available over time.
Meanwhile, XYOâs other co-founder, Markus Levin, who burns the midnight oil as the Head of Operations for XY Labs, has been hard at work ensuring the health of our business and token. Our friends at Australian Crypto Convention naturally asked him to be one of their guest speakers in Melbourne this year. Not only that, but we were asked to invite ten (ten!) lucky Aussie fans to join us there.
Congratulations, Eric! đ„ł Further details are in an email we've sent to you. We'll see you in Melbourne in November!Didn't win? No worries! We've got more tickets and will be doing weekend giveaways throughout October, or you can grab your tickets here: https://t.co/Wp76COskpY pic.twitter.com/oEEMqYJxCY
XYO and COIN superfan, Eric, was the very deserving winner of our first giveaway, then we decided to put our heads together with the COIN team and invite only the very best geominers in Victoria (the state where Melbourne is located) to join Markus at the convention in November!
To round out Q3, XYO did one of the things thatâs been most requested by the community for years. The XYO token finally made the leap to Layer 2, alleviating the high gas prices and congestion that come with using Ethereum, by adding XYO to the OPÂ Mainnet.
BREAKING NEWS: XYO is now on OP Mainnet! #XYO is better with #Optimism. Stay tuned for more Layer 2 news! @optimismFND https://t.co/4mEnlwMjYl pic.twitter.com/wv04UG9wpV
We finished the planning, work, and testing at the very end of Q3, and announced this leap forward to the public as our opening improvement of Q4.
Optimism bundles Ethereum transactions, allowing for faster transactions with much smaller gas fees. Itâs easy to get started trading using Uniswap! Youâll find full instructions in our announcement.
Now that weâve wrapped up XYOâs Q3 for you, hopefully weâve left you hungry for more. Not to worry, our detailed and updated Q4 roadmap is on the way, followed by our high-level 2024 roadmap, so you can see where all the work weâve done in 2023 is headed.

XYO Q3 Review: A Look Back at a BIG Quarter was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
]]>
A question we commonly receive is whether or not XYO would ever consider a Layer 2 solution for high Ethereum gas prices and slow transaction times.
Today, weâre proud to announce XYOâs arrival on OP Mainnet! With Optimism, you can expect faster and cheaper XYO token transactions than youâve ever experienced before. Letâs take a look at what Optimism is, how it can benefit XYO holders like you, and what implications this announcement will have for XYO.
Optimism is a blockchain scaling solution that offers a high-speed, layer-two scaling option for Ethereum. It boosts Ethereumâs capacity to support thousands of transactions per second while reducing gas fees. With the arrival of XYO on the OP Mainnet, crypto enthusiasts can look forward to lightning fast transaction speeds and significantly lower (read: dirt cheap) gas fees.
Optimism uses rollups to bundle transactions into entire blocks, allowing for quicker processing. This approach is much more efficient than Ethereumâs traditional method of processing transactions individually and offers much-needed relief for traders exhausted with high gas prices, peak hours, sluggish transactions, and costly speed boosts.
We asked resident crypto genius, Ryan, whoâs one of the megaminds behind developing COIN, to help make sure you know exactly how to power up your XYO with Optimism!
If youâve never used Optimism before, youâll need to bridge some ETH as a deposit onto Optimism, as Optimism uses it for gas, just like Ethereum.
Helpfully, Optimism has a handy web app.

Pro Tip: Transferring ETH to Optimism from Ethereum is quick, but withdrawing it may not be. At the time of publication, depositing ETH to OP Mainnet takes only a few minutes, but withdrawing it takes about a week. Only transfer the ETH and XYO you donât mind not having on Ethereum for a few days!

NOTE: Your cryptocurrency is still in your wallet! Itâs moved chains, but has not moved from your wallet. You can toggle between chains within your wallet at any time.

Once you have some ETH in your wallet on Optimism, youâll need to bridge some XYO tokens from the Ethereum to Optimism with a deposit.


Pro Tip: This approval only changes your spending cap. It does not deposit your XYO tokens to OPÂ Mainnet.

Once this transaction is complete, you have XYO tokens in your wallet on the OPÂ Mainnet!
Now, switch your wallet from Ethereum to Optimism. If you donât see your XYO in your wallet when itâs switched to Optimism, be sure to add XYO as a custom token in your wallet. (Youâll need to do this for Optimism even if youâve already done it for Ethereum!)


Youâll find your XYO in your wallet, but now on Optimism instead of Ethereum!

Youâre now free to trade XYO on Uniswap in the usual way. Well, not quite the usual way⊠youâre using Optimism!
Hereâs a convenient link to the XYO/ETH trading pair in Uniswap v3 on Optimism.

If youâve never traded on Uniswap before, not to worry, our good friends at CoinMarketCap have a step-by-step guide.
With XYO arriving on Optimism, crypto enthusiasts can expect not only faster, cheaper transactions, but also an improved trading experience. And the bridge between XYO and Optimism offers a unique opportunity for those seeking liquidity for their crypto assets. Importantly, this leap forward also provides a glimpse into the potential for blockchain technology to transform industries that rely on the quality data provided by XYO.
Itâs an exciting time for XYO, and with advancements like this, we can expect even greater innovation in the years to come. Get ready for a new era of improved XYOÂ trading!

With COIN, powered by XYO, youâre incentivized and rewarded to create valuable heuristic data. But while COIN allows you to leverage your ability to create data for your own benefit, thereâs another facet to data collection. As we like to point out, your data is immensely valuable. You should be able to use it for yourself!
To that end, the XY Labs team is opening up the COIN back end so you can see the data you generate for COIN. Now in alpha testing, the COIN Location dApp will allow COIN users to not only leverage their data but also access and use it, themselves.
Thatâs exciting, but weâre just getting started. We also want to make sure you have that kind of access to all of your data, not just what you generate in our systems. You probably use multiple online services from different companies every single day.
You should have this kind of back door, VIP access to your data from every possible source.
Are you wondering why you would want that? What use it might be to you? Youâve probably experienced something a few times in your life. An epiphany that a new product, tool, or service you never knew you needed or wanted is better than you expected, more useful and helpful than you could have imagined. Pretty soon, you wonder how you ever got along without it.
Youâre going to feel that way about Foreventory. Weâre here to open up a new world of possibilities to you.
Thereâs a good chance youâve enjoyed the power of your data in the past. One of the best companies in the world for data transparency (we love to see it) is also the biggest music streaming service in the world: Spotify. Not only do they make sure you have convenient access to your Spotify data every single year, they also make it fun and give you a great way to use it.
Every December, now almost as ubiquitous as Christmas lights and holiday sales, comes Spotify Wrapped. If youâre active on social media at all, you probably see your family and friends posting their favorite music for everyone to see. Itâs likely youâve shared yours, too.
In sharing the data theyâve collected about you with you, in an engaging and useful way, Spotify has created a reliable, annual viral marketing campaign. And not only do you get to enjoy learning about your own music-listening habits, Spotify allows you to make a playlist of your one hundred favorite songs, in the exact order of how much you listened to them.
This is brilliant. Every company should do this, or so you would think. But they donât, and thatâs where XYO comes in.
Thereâs a reason a lot of companies donât want you to see the data you generate for them. For one thing, they often sell it, and obfuscation makes paying for access more desirable. For another, you might learn too much from your data for their liking.
That may sound a bit conspiratorial, but itâs true.
For example, if you use a service and can break down exactly how much itâs costing you relative to how much youâre getting out of it, you might discover youâre not getting much out of it at all. If you find out youâre paying $10 an hour for a video streaming service, the last people who want you to know it is that streaming service.
If you play an online game, you might be familiar with price obfuscation in the form of currency conversion. The cash shops of multiplayer online games donât have prices in your native fiat currency. Youâve never paid $15 for a cool mount or skin or power-up. No, you bought a pack of Sparkling Doubloons for a cash price, and then the price you were presented for the Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount was shown in Sparkling Doubloons.
This is explicitly so youâd have to stop and figure out how much that mount is actually costing you. Letâs go ahead and do that.
21,000 Sparkling Doubloons: $149.99
Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: 5,000 Sparkling Doubloons
(150 Ă· 21000) x 5000 = 35.71428571428571
Actual cost of Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount:Â $35.72
By the way, this pricing isnât made up. Itâs based on a real, very popular online game.
Thatâs the power of data when you actually know it, and companies know this data has power. Thatâs why they intentionally stand between you and your data.
But thereâs a way to get that data. Letâs dive in.
You just need to know how. Even if youâre not familiar with GDPR, youâve definitely encountered its repercussions.
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Itâs a European Union regulation passed in 2016 and implemented in 2018. The law aims to make sure internet users are aware of how their data is collected, how itâs being used, and who has access to it. Since GDPR was implemented, youâll have become familiar with this:
But thatâs not all GDPR does. If you request the data collected by any given company which operates within the EU, theyâre compelled to provide it as part of GDPR compliance.
The European Union is big, with almost 448 million residents. Itâs also incredibly wealthy. With a combined GDP of all member nations of 16.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, it consistently represents one of the three largest economies in the world, along with the United States and China.
Most global companies want to be able to do business in the EU, and doing business in the EU means complying with GDPR. Consequently, most companies that have online services have a way to request your data from them. And you can make this request whether youâre in the EU or not.
But if youâve ever done so, you may have noticed thereâs a problem. The output tends to be raw data. Thereâs little context and not much you can do with it.
This doesnât look like much, but with the right tool, it can be turned into something amazing. Your raw data can power graphs, playlists, head-to-head comparisons, cost analyses, productivity tracking, and more. It can be used to help you manage your life, your free time, your productive time, your family, your household, or your business. It can even, believe it or not, be a lot of fun to use.
XYOâs new web app, Foreventory, the worldâs first decentralized data analytics tool for everyday data, will show you how powerful your data is, and perhaps most importantly, transform how you interact with the data youâre already generating across multiple platforms. New Web3 features are under development and will be available soon, but we invite you to begin with our current beta test here. Weâll keep you updated about important new developments here on our blog.
If you have any questions, feedback, or want to talk about Foreventory (or XYO and COIN), youâll find our Discord server here!

]]>xyOS advances new standards for data sovereignty and user autonomy and ushers in a new era of decentralized digital experiences

SAN DIEGOâââMay 1, 2024âââXYO, the pioneering DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) and Web3 protocol designed to improve the validity, certainty, and value of data, today announced the official beta launch of its native operating system, xyOS. The new platform integrates enhanced data sovereign technologies and seamless usability functionalities to advance more accessible and empowered digital experiences for users to engage in XYOâs DePIN ecosystem and the broader digital landscape.
With xyOS now available to the public, users of all backgrounds can confidently navigate blockchain-based applications with ease while reclaiming ownership of their online interactions in the process. By placing users at the helm, xyOS initiates a paradigm shift in digital autonomy that can bridge the gap between the complex world of decentralized technology and the everyday user.
âThe beta launch of xyOS is a pivotal moment in our journey towards a more sovereign internet for everyone,â said Arie Trouw, co-founder and CEO of XYO. âItâs unfortunate that our current engagements in Web2 are laced with a level of risk at best and exploit at worst. With xyOS, we empower users to take control of their online data using a decentralized platform that simulates the comfort and familiarity of platforms weâve come to know, and all while putting their freedom, autonomy, and innovation at the forefront.â
xyOS, short for XYO Operating System, represents a new chapter for the protocol, leveraging the decentralized benefits of blockchain technology through a user-friendly graphical interface. Similar to an iPhone home screen or Windows desktop, xyOS democratizes access to the XYO Platform, Protocol, and Network, offering a sleek setup of dApps now accessible with a click or tap. By storing all data locally, users retain full control and sovereignty over their information, with the flexibility to modify or delete it at their discretion. From simplifying node setup (and allowing virtually any device to become a node in XYOâs DePIN) to providing real-time insights into XYO technologies, xyOS is a catalyst for change in the digital ecosystem.
Key features of xyOS include an array of core and default dApps such as Profile, Settings, System Health, and Name Service, as well as tools like Quick Search, OS Theming, and a dashboard clock. Together, users can establish new identities and preferences in the XYO ecosystem to begin peer-to-peer engagements and be primed for eventual third-party dApp development.
âTogether, we have the power to shape a digital future that is truly our own,â added Arie Trouw. âWhether itâs safely engaging and exchanging with other users in a peer-to-peer manner, or eventually playing secret mini-games for added fun, xyOS is all about enhancing the user experience. No longer shackled by the constraints of centralized platforms, users can explore, create, exchange, and connect with confidence, knowing that those engagements are truly their own.â
The future of the internet is in our hands, and with xyOS, navigating the online world no longer means leaving our data vulnerable or decentralized technology uncharted. For more information and to sign up for xyOS, visit the platform here.

This growth indicator, coupled with the trillions of dollars of assets expected to be tokenized by the end of the decade, makes clear that a revolution in blockchain is fast approaching. While asset tokenization is making headway across the world, Asian governments and enterprises are increasingly embracingâââand scalingâââprojects dedicated to asset tokenization as a cornerstone of the new digital economy. Major institutional players in Singapore such as JPMorgan, DBS, and BNY Mellon are exploring various RWA use cases. With experts projecting asset tokenization to be a USD 3T economic opportunity in Asia alone, the region has transformed into a hotbed of asset tokenization activity and adoption, spanning both governments and enterprises.

As 2023 comes to a close, I reflect on the past year of what XYO has been able to accomplish. But more importantly, I look at what we didnât accomplish. Every day, I spend time at my computer, and I think about how I can challenge myself in the pursuit of a more perfect internet. How can we work as a project, as a community, to bring XYO to everyone across the world? How do we create the perfect digital environment for our core values? How do we bring true data sovereignty, data provenance, and data permanence to everyone who rightly deserves it?
XYO stands at the precipice of three, very long years of intense XYO development. In that time, we have grown our incredible team of developers, and weâve perfected the core technology needed for incoming development atop the XYO Platform. XYO 2.0 is ready.
In 2024, we ask you to be ready as well.
Our 2024 roadmap looks a little different than those youâve seen in the past. Our changes take into account the biggest strides weâve made, and they keep in check the stumbles weâve had, too.
Some of the biggest changes youâll notice are:
We have chosen to deprecate the quarterly system for 2024. Itâs a big change, but itâs not an unfamiliar one in the world of tech. This set up allows us to display a clear path for our community without arbitrary, 3-month timelines. Our team-based product mapping offers transparency for the road aheadâââwhere youâll see growth, and who will be responsible for making that a reality. After a variety of products and even more ahead of us, our 2024 will create brand cohesion and clarity. Weâll be working on more videos, more content and even more ways to integrate XYO into your daily life easily. Seamlessly.
2024 will be the year of XYO.

Yes, I said it. The current trajectory of Web3 and blockchain strays further from the original dream of decentralization and sovereignty. Every. Single. Day.
Why? We are in an unstable and still-developing blockchain industry. In the past few years, some of the mightiest blockchain companies have fallen and many others have failed to find lift-off in the first place. Common pitfalls for Web3 focused companies and projects include:
So whatâs the result of all this? Regression. Companies lean back on Web2 standards and safety nets, resulting in less-than-attractive technological advances. Even many Web3 efforts are pivoting back to centralized control with technologies such as upgradable contracts.
More than ever, it is imperative to build with the original purpose in mind:
Personal digital sovereignty and a Sovereign Internet for the world.
At XYO, we have experienced the difficulties a Web2 world presents for Web3 development and growth. Never has it deterred us. Our company has been around since 2012, and our blockchain journey began in early 2018. Since then, weâve launched numerous Web3 products and weathered many a bear market. Recently, we launched our near-term Q4 2023Â Roadmap.
Our goals for Q4 continue to chart a path back to what Web3 was meant to be: a widespread, open source ecosystem that brings data providers and data consumers together in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Goals:
Each of these come together to make Q4 the springboard for an exciting, community-involved 2024. This all starts with large developmental efforts.
We have already begun working on developer documentation. Docusaurus offers a beautiful and well-known layout that is easy for developers to navigate. Additionally, weâve already made strides in improving the Explore and Node website experiences. These sites are primarily useful for developers who need a visual representation of the modules and data they are working with and the relationships between them.
Weâve fully documented our SDKs, but that is just the beginning. To ensure that everyone can contribute and utilize XYO weâre adding:
An introduction to a new code documentation is always useful. While XYO can be added to nearly any project out there, it still presents a new way of coding and thinking about data. To help guide new XYO developers, an introduction, as well as some practice examples, are slated to be added in Q4 2023. This will help new developers start using XYO on day one, and help them feel more comfortable with ideas like: data as XYO payloads, incorporating XYO modules, building custom modules, and contributing to the development of the XYO Platform.
Itâs important that new XYO developers can consistently rely on our reference documentation. Glossaries provide clarity, reduce confusion, and can be the difference between adoption and abandonment. The XYO Ecosystem Glossary will serve as a way to increase comprehension of XYO terms and a method of reducing the time needed to learn prior to building with an XYO SDK or plug-in.
Internally, we use Typescript, and it ensures we maintain a clean, accessible, and easy-to-read codebase. Part of this meticulous style of coding means we catch potential type traps early, and we look forward to having this incorporated in our XYO documentation and codebases.
Our documentation plans for Q4 and beyond also include details on how to easily integrate XYO features into existing projects. By using XYOâs technology, you can improve the sovereignty, performance and user experience of your website. Future XYO integrations detailed in the documentation will be things like code examples for features like PermaShareâââcopy and paste a block of code, and suddenly your existing function can turn your page into a PermaShare link!
Explore is a treasure trove for anyone wanting to analyze XYO data. On explore.xyo.network, you can browse payloads on a public or private archivist, view payload schemas, and see how the XYO modules in your code interact with each other. It also serves as a way for developers to easily visualize what they are building.
Node is designed as a way to run an XYO Node on your browser or device. With decentralization and sovereignty at the heart of everything we do, we made Node so that anyone can create and interact with XYO. No setup. No gatekeeping. No barriers.
Our Builder Bounty program in 2024 (more on that below) could result in quite a few new XYO dApps and module options. When an XYO contributor, codeless or otherwise, wants to use a new dApp that has been created, they can spin up an XYO Node on their computer with node.xyo.network, and run that dApp in the resulting digital environment.
Through node.xyo.network, users will also be able to occasionally complete Builder Bounties. For example, if a request includes running a module on your personal computer, the module will most likely be run within node.xyo.network. Youâd visit node.xyo.network, spin up the correct module on your computer, process data or run the module in some way, and return the result.

Simply put, PermaShare lets you share data with a permanent hash.
Letâs break it down.
PermaShare solves one of the biggest problems we face today. Not being able to trust what we see on the internet.
You know exactly what I mean. We go on the internet daily. Each time we find something, we do a mental âchecklistâ to ensure we can trust the source and the data, itself.
âIs it shared by a trusted account?â, we ask ourselves. âCool, itâs got the check mark. But did they just pay for it? How do I know itâs not trying to trick me?â Next, we question the data itself. âAny weird filters or edits in the image or data itself? Wait, is that closed-caption really what [insert politician here] said, or is that edited?â You do this, subconsciously and consciously, every time you see something new.
It wastes our time, our energy, and our brain power. The tiny bits of frustration build up and affect our outlook on the world. We need something better.
As stated earlier, PermaShare is a hash-based sharing tool. But before we dive into the details of PermaShare, itâs important to understand the underlying technology and the value that comes along with it.
One of the key differentiators for general blockchain technology is the ability to have an audit trail. With the use of cryptographic signatures and blockchain ledgers, you can track the source, or provenance, of data without fear of it being invalid or altered. Being able to easily trace the source of data means we just have to ask one question about our data:
Can I trust the original creator of this data?
Once you can trust the source of the data, itâs easy to establish data confidenceâââany time, anywhere.
PermaShare makes the process of establishing data confidence easier than ever before. It also solves the problem of longevity for shared dataâââeven if a platform goes out of business or you end up shadow-banned, you can always view the data you originally shared.
Social Media platforms present a beautiful example of just how far-reaching the positive effects of PermaShare can be. Letâs start small.
When you share a link today, the social media site you use caches the image. Even if the content on the page changes, the social media site will rely on the image they previously saved for that link. Why? Itâs useful. Caching can improve performance, visual consistency, and reduce data usage, just to name a few of its perks.
PermaShare (and XYO) offers the same level of usefulness, but with a âfewâ extra add-ons: transparency, historical recordkeeping, data authentication, manipulation prevention, verified news, improved user control, and data privacy.
Every year, new social platforms pop up. But in most cases, their core data is the same: text, images, videos, links. But each time a new platform launches, thereâs always an underlying test of longevity. The worst part is the data loss. Thousands of accounts, millions of photos and songs, and a huge blip in the digital global history.
Instead of mourning the data losses from a dead platform, imagine transferring your entire profileâs history to a new one.
Transforming social media material to XYO payloads allows users to take control of the data they create on social platforms. Right now, users assume they have ownership over the content they share, but the underlying reliance on Web2's centralized systems equals instability. Permanent links help maintain the integrity of the content that users originally interacted with. Imagine you had a personal, private website to pull up your old MySpace account, or you could laugh again at a bunch of Vines.
Live Sharing is the corollary to PermaShare. While it maintains the audit trail and blockchain benefits of PermaSharing, it also allows you to share âliveâ data.
This can be anything from the literal âliveâ score of a popular sports game, the relative value of a US Dollar to the British Pound, or the top 5 coins on CoinMarketCap. Live Sharing also solves some of the most annoying problems about sharing today. Hereâs an example:
Robert wants to share a link to his new online business for custom shoes. He shares the link on Facebook, gets some new customers, and life is great! The website homepage Robert shared showcased one of his most popular shoes, and the demand is so high, he has to take it off the site while he waits for shipments. However, even after updating to a new shoe design on the homepage, the Facebook link doesnât update the share image! Suddenly, Robert experiences angry potential customers, who clicked the Facebook link and expected the shoe was available.
Now, imagine Robert had used an XYO Live Sharing link instead.
When Robert shares the link to the homepage of his new website, it displays the live products he decides to showcase. When he launches new designs, or has to take some down for shipment delays, the link automatically updates to the new designs heâs trying to sell. Any new customers that end up on Robertâs site from that link have seen a design that is readily available, and they can go ahead and purchase it that day.
Together, PermaShare and Live Sharing improve something people already interact with every day. But the improvements donât stop here. Having permanent links with easily accessible audit trails is something every industry needs, whether itâs to better track and authenticate blood glucose levels for diabetes monitoring or Olympic race times. PermaShare offers a single, verifiable, isolated recordâââanonymity, access, and control is all in the userâs hands. And weâre already using PermaShare internally today.
Weâre already using PermaShare and Live Sharing in several places across our tech stack internally with excellent results. Weâre working on bringing these XYO-backed benefits to the community so that everyone can leverage the power of XYO.
The XYO Builder Bounty program is slated for early 2024. Bounty programs often focus on bug reportsâââethical hackers locate and report issues with software and receive a reward for doing so. With our bounty program, we wanted to primarily promote the contribution to and adoption of XYO technology and still include Bug Bounties only for release code.
A big focus of the XYO Builder Bounty program is for developers to contribute to the XYO technology and open-source community. We are also considering bounties for non-developers. This means you could get bounties for running codeless tasks, such as running a specific module overnight or computing larger sets of data. During the Builder Bounty Program, this is a manual process, but it will later be replaced with automated payment channels for running nodes that contribute to shared data. These channels will be funded by people using the data, resulting in an automated two sided data marketplace.
Hereâs a Rate My NFT Builder Bounty Example:
Run an XYO Module to generate 10,000 Rate My NFT scores to improve the speed of Foreventory.
In this example, we are asking the community to run a pre-coded module that uses your CPU to generate Rate My NFT scores. Why? Because of the collection size! Itâs over 10,000 NFTs, so it may take some time to scan, rate, and create payloads for that set of data. After youâve completed the task, you can share the result with the team, and receive your bounty.
It may seem like a simple task, but the benefit is huge. After the NFTs have been rated, they can now be more easily accessed as payloads. Itâs faster, more efficient, and available for anyone using Rate My NFTs. And of course, the person providing the data or development is rewarded for their completed task.
Our goal is to have the XYO token serve as a way for the bounty program to start a stable, utility-based economy as we move into 2024.
XYOâs Q4 2023 is bound to be exciting. We have new things lined up for release, and weâve set our sights on a worthwhile list of upgrades to our technology, setting us up for a paradigm-shifting 2024. We are aiming to alter the course of Web3 development, not just provide incremental improvements predicated on the ideas of others. We expect to have our work redefine how Web3 is envisioned and developed. The battle for personal, digital, and shared sovereignty is the most important challenge facing society today, and XYO is at the forefront of that battle.
On a more personal note, I am extremely excited about releasing PermaShare. It not only helps solve ongoing issues that are common on the internet, it also showcases the power of the XYO approach to Web3. Most importantly, it demonstrates that simple tools can drastically improve user security. Security through transparency is the way of the future.
The XYO Protocol, Platform, and Ecosystem is the culmination of years of work by myself and the extraordinary team that are here at XY Labs and XYO.

Weâre excited to share our plans with you and canât wait to show you how these developments will revolutionize the XYO ecosystem.
Keep in mind, this is only the roadmap updates for Q4â2023. The full 2024 roadmap will also be shared in the next few weeks!
Be sure to check out the updated visual Q4 roadmap on the XYOÂ Website!
But before we venture forth, letâs talk about whatâs not on the docket for Q4. As you may have guessed, if youâre familiar with our original 2023 roadmap, some of our most exciting and ambitious plans for 2023 have been bumped to Q1 and Q2 of 2024. This includes our Crypto Cards CCG and the new version of XYOÂ World.
Wait! Hold your groans, weâre not here to disappoint you today.
Thereâs a simple reason for this. Those new products have got to be good, and weâre not going to release them until weâre confident they are. So weâre dedicating Q4 to improving the foundations upon which these productsâââand indeed the entire XYO ecosystemâââare built. Moreover, many of the features queued for Q4 are key features or requirements for our products in 2024. Not only will we be improving the underlying technology, weâll also be taking critical steps towards making future products a reality.
Part of this plan includes some really cool stuff we havenât talked about before. Youâre going to like it, we can pretty much guarantee it. But weâll get to that in a momentâââread on.
Our most important goal for wrapping up 2023 is to create a stronger foundation for both XYO World (XYOW) and Crypto Cards CCG, not to mention the wider XYO ecosystem. To achieve this, weâve decided to move the launch of both of these products to the first half of 2024, and first focus on building core XYO Platform technology required to develop XYO dApps like these including two new XYO featuresâââPermaShare and Live Sharing.
These new concepts are key features for both XYOW and Crypto Cards CCG, and we canât wait to show you how theyâll enhance the user experience for players like you.
PermaShare is an XYO Tool that allows you to share a permanent snapshot of a webpage. See a funny typo on CNNâs homepage? Want to share the breaking news article in The New York Times? With PermaShare, you can truly create a permanent snapshot of anything you want to share, and it can never be changed or deleted.
This may sound similar to projects like the Internet Archiveâs Wayback Machine. But PermaShare is a critical evolution of the concept. For example, the Wayback Machine doesnât store images, and as a result, a lot of material is lost. PermaShare, on the other hand, provides a true, image-based or cryptographic data snapshot.
In contrast, hereâs the earliest Wayback Machine snapshot of Whitehouse.gov, from 1996:
Moreover, PermaShare permanently validates the data saved with blockchain cryptography, providing a source and proving that snapshots taken are unaltered. This is the critical provenance the internet needs in the age of digital misinformation and AI.
PermaShare is a core feature weâve had planned for XYO World and Crypto Cards all year. In order to share and verify important information from either of those products, weâll include PermaShare. For example, the outcome of a game of CryptoCards can be verified by anyone with access to the PermaShare snapshot for that battle.
Weâve decided to release PermaShare as not just a mutual feature of XYO World and Crypto Cards, but as a product unto itself, because its vast array of potential uses demand that it be made easily available to both users and developers. Itâs a fantastic on-ramp, a great reason to include XYO into a third party project or product, and it will doubtlessly be included in more XYO products in the future.
Weâre also building out our feature called Live Sharing. This wonât be a product on its own, but it will be an important feature of XYO products moving forward and will be included in XYOâs public SDKs.
Itâs already been debuted in Foreventory, and is now in the process of being refined and expanded.
This is a little different from the sharing features with which you may be familiar. The data shared is dynamic, and will update when anything changes. For example, in Foreventory, if Descartes begins getting more value out of Netflix than Nietzsche in the future, that will be reflected in the results if anyone visits the shared link.
Live Sharing is, simply put, a better way to share mutable data. If you want to share your Crypto Cards score over time, the same share link will always show your most recent statistics. (This synergizes perfectly with PermaShare, which would allow you to share your Live Sharing link at a specific moment in time, proving how much progress youâve made.)
Together with COIN, Crypto Cards CCG and XYO World will become the second and third pillars of XYOâs new decentralized gaming ecosystem, which will harness a massive, decentralized network of users and devices to both generate and utilize astonishingly powerful aggregate data.
But thereâs something else we havenât told you about yet. Something for which weâre building the foundations. In Q1 2024, weâre introducing the XYO Builder Bounty Program.
Get ready for our first ever opportunity for fans to supercharge the power of XYO, coming in 2024. Weâre giving true enthusiasts like you the chance to directly contribute to building XYO and earn exclusive, specialty rewards. Donât miss out on the electrifying updates in our upcoming 2024 Roadmap. Stay tuned, itâs dropping soon!
In service of these goals, our future goals, as well as the wider adoption of XYO, weâre also hard at work revitalizing our developer tools. These tools have been designed to make it easy for developers to build and integrate XYO technology into their own apps and projects. We believe that improving these tools will help us reach a wider audience of developers and enthusiasts who are excited about the possibilities afforded by XYO technology.

This includes updates to our Explore and Node sites to better reflect the latest developments and improvements in our technology. These tools have become integral parts of the XYO ecosystem, and we recognize the importance of keeping them current and relevant to our users. By updating these web apps, we hope to provide users with an even better experience and make it easier than ever for developers to keep XYO up-to-date in their software projects.
Weâve also previously mentioned that there are major, ongoing changes to the XYO SDKs. These changes will augment the same products that PermaShare and Live Sharing have been built to support. By including these features in our public SDKs, we ensure that XYO is as useful as possible for third party developers, and we enable all XYO products to include our best features quickly and efficiently.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
Also being updated is the crucial and oft-discussed XYO protocolâââthe set of rules and standards upon which XYO operates. Small, specific changes across all of these developer tools include:
The updates to these tools will allow both internal and external developers to build on XYO more efficiently, faster, and with greater ease than ever before.
Q4 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting time for the XYO team and our users. While weâve decided not to rush the fun stuff weâd originally planned, we think itâs better to make sure those things are excellent when we do release them next year. And what weâre doing now will not only make those products better, but allow for the incorporation of some of their important features into other softwareâââboth internal and third partyâââthat could greatly benefit from them.
From improved developer tools and SDKs, to PermaShare and Live Sharing, weâre building the foundations for fun and exciting new consumer products and pushing the boundaries of whatâs possible in the world of web3. Weâre excited to continue sharing our progress and developments with you, and canât wait to see how these new advancements will revolutionize the industry.
And, perhaps most exciting of all, weâre introducing a way for you, the people who love XYO, to help XYO succeed and get rewarded for doing it. We are beyond thrilled to finally get to tell you about the XYO Builder Bounty Program for the very first time and we can hardly wait to tell you more in future updates.

What a ride! XYOâs Q3 was a fiscal quarter to remember, and thatâs precisely what weâre here to do.
Weâll dive into XYOâs Q3 milestones in growth, applications, and open-source development. Weâll also discuss how these developments tie into the three core concepts that define XYOâs trajectory and futureâââsovereignty, provenance, and permanence.
In 2023, weâve introduced you to the importance of data sovereignty, to ensure people retain control over their digital lives, and indeed, the data that defines who they are in the digital age. Weâve also confronted the issue of illusory permanence, and with our biggest software launch all yearâââForeventoryâââweâve taken the first steps to helping XYO users achieve true data permanence.
And thereâs even more weâve been up to. XYOâs founders, Arie Trouw and Markus Levin, have delved deeper into thought leadership than ever before, providing expert commentary for major publications ranging from Cointelegraph to Nasdaq, and many more. They also continue to make strides in service of the long-term health of XYOâs software, network, and token.
The year, of course, is far from over. Stay tuned for our updated Q4 Roadmap and the high-level view of our 2024 Roadmap, coming soon!
Now, letâs look back at some of the coolest things weâve done and experienced all year.
Q3 kicked off with a roar and the launch of our newest software product, Foreventory! We launched with a data analytics tool that can be used for your Netflix account, analyzing how much use and value youâre getting out of it.
XYO https://t.co/cLW4xMvNMY pic.twitter.com/tpCRrOvqy8
Not only can Foreventory show users like you how much value youâre getting out of your Netflix account overall, it can also show you how much each profile is using it, explore which shows your family likes most, or if youâre feeling competitive, duel profiles against one another. Foreventory even lets you dive deep to analyze everything about your watching habits. Whether you just want an at-a-glance tool or you want to feed your inner data nerd, Foreventory can help.
This incredibly powerful, easy-to-use tool is free. Hereâs how to try it.
Netflix analytics, of course, is just the first tool to become available for Foreventory users. Keep reading, more on that in a bit.
Later in July, the CEO of XY Labs, Arie Trouw, published a new piece for Cointelegraph Innovation Circle entitled, âIs 2023 the year weâre able to take control of our data?â This thorough and insightful piece gave readers a primer on how to think about data sovereignty, and why it should be on everyoneâs mind. He also shared his thoughts on the possible directions for data sovereignty in the future, both good and bad, with instruction on how we, as users, can steer things in the right direction. Learn more about data sovereignty here.
Our new data analytics tool, Foreventory, represents a leap forward for personal data sovereignty. Let's talk about how it works and why that's important. #XYOhttps://t.co/VF1f5PaA6A pic.twitter.com/cwFQ0JXCxY
At the end of July, we explained how Arieâs vision of data sovereignty ties in with Foreventory. We covered why accessing your own data is important, and why being able to make data human-readable is critical to understanding it. We also delved into how to get your hands on the data you rightfully own, and leverage it for your own benefit.

XYOâs August turned out to be, well, august, and began with a proper altcoin summer rally for the XYO token. It brought a lot of new eyes to XYO and we made sure new fans were properly introduced to our project and our vision.
Next, our development team launched into the upcoming phase for Foreventoryâââits much-anticipated web3 features. The first of these will be a Rate My NFTs tool (this is the working title and may not be final), which will allow users to obtain individual quality ratings for NFTs across a number of popular blockchains, or rate a collection in any given wallet or gallery using a sample of the NFTs inside. Quality ratings are based on transparent criteria and each of these criteria are laid out in a breakdown of the overall rating of each NFT.
Will your favorite NFT get a perfect score like this NyanCat piece from @mntge_io and owned by @SnoopDogg? đ€ #Foreventory pic.twitter.com/fwEBJgADui
This feature is currently in the alpha phase of testing. Public beta testing will followâââbe sure to stay tuned to XYOâs social media for updates!
XY Labs has been a remote team since Spring of 2020, when COVID lockdowns coincided with the expiration of our lease on our beautiful, and much beloved, downtown San Diego office. We embraced a new way of working, and it opened new horizons for our team. The core XY Labs team now spans across the country, with partners and contractors around the world.
This summer we decided to meet up with one another in XYOâs hometown of San Diego. After a wonderful dinner at one of the cityâs legendary microbreweries, Arie explained his vision for XYO and its future to the core XY Labs team. The next day, he treated the team to gourmet tacos and a pool party at his beautiful home where we got to truly feel like a team. (Although some of the code nerds among us could not be stopped from working while we were there. We tried.)
Our minds refreshed, we got back to work.
Everything XYO does is built on the XYO SDKs. Software Development Kits are the fundamental code which links one project to another, that allow a project to be built on and into XYO. SDKs are the code that defines what XYOÂ is.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
One of the benefits of building software products like Foreventory with our SDKs is shining a light on how our SDKs can be improved. This is behind the scenes work thatâs absolutely necessary to the ongoing health and success of XYO.
This has become a major focus of XYOâs 2023 Q3. Itâs imperative that the software we releaseâââand that our partners releaseâââbe the best we can make it, and always in the process of improvement. With that in mind, back-end performance improvements, bug fixes, and stabilizations have been rolling out almost daily throughout XYOâs early autumn.
Public XYOÂ SDKs:
Public XY Labs SDKs:
Youâll find documentation for XYOâs open-source platform here. While youâll find much to learn already available, these documents are updated regularly and more documentation will become available over time.
Meanwhile, XYOâs other co-founder, Markus Levin, who burns the midnight oil as the Head of Operations for XY Labs, has been hard at work ensuring the health of our business and token. Our friends at Australian Crypto Convention naturally asked him to be one of their guest speakers in Melbourne this year. Not only that, but we were asked to invite ten (ten!) lucky Aussie fans to join us there.
Congratulations, Eric! đ„ł Further details are in an email we've sent to you. We'll see you in Melbourne in November!Didn't win? No worries! We've got more tickets and will be doing weekend giveaways throughout October, or you can grab your tickets here: https://t.co/Wp76COskpY pic.twitter.com/oEEMqYJxCY
XYO and COIN superfan, Eric, was the very deserving winner of our first giveaway, then we decided to put our heads together with the COIN team and invite only the very best geominers in Victoria (the state where Melbourne is located) to join Markus at the convention in November!
To round out Q3, XYO did one of the things thatâs been most requested by the community for years. The XYO token finally made the leap to Layer 2, alleviating the high gas prices and congestion that come with using Ethereum, by adding XYO to the OPÂ Mainnet.
BREAKING NEWS: XYO is now on OP Mainnet! #XYO is better with #Optimism. Stay tuned for more Layer 2 news! @optimismFND https://t.co/4mEnlwMjYl pic.twitter.com/wv04UG9wpV
We finished the planning, work, and testing at the very end of Q3, and announced this leap forward to the public as our opening improvement of Q4.
Optimism bundles Ethereum transactions, allowing for faster transactions with much smaller gas fees. Itâs easy to get started trading using Uniswap! Youâll find full instructions in our announcement.
Now that weâve wrapped up XYOâs Q3 for you, hopefully weâve left you hungry for more. Not to worry, our detailed and updated Q4 roadmap is on the way, followed by our high-level 2024 roadmap, so you can see where all the work weâve done in 2023 is headed.

XYO Q3 Review: A Look Back at a BIG Quarter was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

A question we commonly receive is whether or not XYO would ever consider a Layer 2 solution for high Ethereum gas prices and slow transaction times.
Today, weâre proud to announce XYOâs arrival on OP Mainnet! With Optimism, you can expect faster and cheaper XYO token transactions than youâve ever experienced before. Letâs take a look at what Optimism is, how it can benefit XYO holders like you, and what implications this announcement will have for XYO.
Optimism is a blockchain scaling solution that offers a high-speed, layer-two scaling option for Ethereum. It boosts Ethereumâs capacity to support thousands of transactions per second while reducing gas fees. With the arrival of XYO on the OP Mainnet, crypto enthusiasts can look forward to lightning fast transaction speeds and significantly lower (read: dirt cheap) gas fees.
Optimism uses rollups to bundle transactions into entire blocks, allowing for quicker processing. This approach is much more efficient than Ethereumâs traditional method of processing transactions individually and offers much-needed relief for traders exhausted with high gas prices, peak hours, sluggish transactions, and costly speed boosts.
We asked resident crypto genius, Ryan, whoâs one of the megaminds behind developing COIN, to help make sure you know exactly how to power up your XYO with Optimism!
If youâve never used Optimism before, youâll need to bridge some ETH as a deposit onto Optimism, as Optimism uses it for gas, just like Ethereum.
Helpfully, Optimism has a handy web app.

Pro Tip: Transferring ETH to Optimism from Ethereum is quick, but withdrawing it may not be. At the time of publication, depositing ETH to OP Mainnet takes only a few minutes, but withdrawing it takes about a week. Only transfer the ETH and XYO you donât mind not having on Ethereum for a few days!

NOTE: Your cryptocurrency is still in your wallet! Itâs moved chains, but has not moved from your wallet. You can toggle between chains within your wallet at any time.

Once you have some ETH in your wallet on Optimism, youâll need to bridge some XYO tokens from the Ethereum to Optimism with a deposit.


Pro Tip: This approval only changes your spending cap. It does not deposit your XYO tokens to OPÂ Mainnet.

Once this transaction is complete, you have XYO tokens in your wallet on the OPÂ Mainnet!
Now, switch your wallet from Ethereum to Optimism. If you donât see your XYO in your wallet when itâs switched to Optimism, be sure to add XYO as a custom token in your wallet. (Youâll need to do this for Optimism even if youâve already done it for Ethereum!)


Youâll find your XYO in your wallet, but now on Optimism instead of Ethereum!

Youâre now free to trade XYO on Uniswap in the usual way. Well, not quite the usual way⊠youâre using Optimism!
Hereâs a convenient link to the XYO/ETH trading pair in Uniswap v3 on Optimism.

If youâve never traded on Uniswap before, not to worry, our good friends at CoinMarketCap have a step-by-step guide.
With XYO arriving on Optimism, crypto enthusiasts can expect not only faster, cheaper transactions, but also an improved trading experience. And the bridge between XYO and Optimism offers a unique opportunity for those seeking liquidity for their crypto assets. Importantly, this leap forward also provides a glimpse into the potential for blockchain technology to transform industries that rely on the quality data provided by XYO.
Itâs an exciting time for XYO, and with advancements like this, we can expect even greater innovation in the years to come. Get ready for a new era of improved XYOÂ trading!
XYO Now Available on OptimismâââFaster and Cheaper Transactions for True Crypto Enthusiasts was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

With COIN, powered by XYO, youâre incentivized and rewarded to create valuable heuristic data. But while COIN allows you to leverage your ability to create data for your own benefit, thereâs another facet to data collection. As we like to point out, your data is immensely valuable. You should be able to use it for yourself!
To that end, the XY Labs team is opening up the COIN back end so you can see the data you generate for COIN. Now in alpha testing, the COIN Location dApp will allow COIN users to not only leverage their data but also access and use it, themselves.
Thatâs exciting, but weâre just getting started. We also want to make sure you have that kind of access to all of your data, not just what you generate in our systems. You probably use multiple online services from different companies every single day.
You should have this kind of back door, VIP access to your data from every possible source.
Are you wondering why you would want that? What use it might be to you? Youâve probably experienced something a few times in your life. An epiphany that a new product, tool, or service you never knew you needed or wanted is better than you expected, more useful and helpful than you could have imagined. Pretty soon, you wonder how you ever got along without it.
Youâre going to feel that way about Foreventory. Weâre here to open up a new world of possibilities to you.
Thereâs a good chance youâve enjoyed the power of your data in the past. One of the best companies in the world for data transparency (we love to see it) is also the biggest music streaming service in the world: Spotify. Not only do they make sure you have convenient access to your Spotify data every single year, they also make it fun and give you a great way to use it.
Every December, now almost as ubiquitous as Christmas lights and holiday sales, comes Spotify Wrapped. If youâre active on social media at all, you probably see your family and friends posting their favorite music for everyone to see. Itâs likely youâve shared yours, too.
In sharing the data theyâve collected about you with you, in an engaging and useful way, Spotify has created a reliable, annual viral marketing campaign. And not only do you get to enjoy learning about your own music-listening habits, Spotify allows you to make a playlist of your one hundred favorite songs, in the exact order of how much you listened to them.
This is brilliant. Every company should do this, or so you would think. But they donât, and thatâs where XYO comes in.
Thereâs a reason a lot of companies donât want you to see the data you generate for them. For one thing, they often sell it, and obfuscation makes paying for access more desirable. For another, you might learn too much from your data for their liking.
That may sound a bit conspiratorial, but itâs true.
For example, if you use a service and can break down exactly how much itâs costing you relative to how much youâre getting out of it, you might discover youâre not getting much out of it at all. If you find out youâre paying $10 an hour for a video streaming service, the last people who want you to know it is that streaming service.
If you play an online game, you might be familiar with price obfuscation in the form of currency conversion. The cash shops of multiplayer online games donât have prices in your native fiat currency. Youâve never paid $15 for a cool mount or skin or power-up. No, you bought a pack of Sparkling Doubloons for a cash price, and then the price you were presented for the Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount was shown in Sparkling Doubloons.
This is explicitly so youâd have to stop and figure out how much that mount is actually costing you. Letâs go ahead and do that.
21,000 Sparkling Doubloons: $149.99
Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: 5,000 Sparkling Doubloons
(150 Ă· 21000) x 5000 = 35.71428571428571
Actual cost of Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount:Â $35.72
By the way, this pricing isnât made up. Itâs based on a real, very popular online game.
Thatâs the power of data when you actually know it, and companies know this data has power. Thatâs why they intentionally stand between you and your data.
But thereâs a way to get that data. Letâs dive in.
You just need to know how. Even if youâre not familiar with GDPR, youâve definitely encountered its repercussions.
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Itâs a European Union regulation passed in 2016 and implemented in 2018. The law aims to make sure internet users are aware of how their data is collected, how itâs being used, and who has access to it. Since GDPR was implemented, youâll have become familiar with this:
But thatâs not all GDPR does. If you request the data collected by any given company which operates within the EU, theyâre compelled to provide it as part of GDPR compliance.
The European Union is big, with almost 448 million residents. Itâs also incredibly wealthy. With a combined GDP of all member nations of 16.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, it consistently represents one of the three largest economies in the world, along with the United States and China.
Most global companies want to be able to do business in the EU, and doing business in the EU means complying with GDPR. Consequently, most companies that have online services have a way to request your data from them. And you can make this request whether youâre in the EU or not.
But if youâve ever done so, you may have noticed thereâs a problem. The output tends to be raw data. Thereâs little context and not much you can do with it.
This doesnât look like much, but with the right tool, it can be turned into something amazing. Your raw data can power graphs, playlists, head-to-head comparisons, cost analyses, productivity tracking, and more. It can be used to help you manage your life, your free time, your productive time, your family, your household, or your business. It can even, believe it or not, be a lot of fun to use.
XYOâs new web app, Foreventory, the worldâs first decentralized data analytics tool for everyday data, will show you how powerful your data is, and perhaps most importantly, transform how you interact with the data youâre already generating across multiple platforms. New Web3 features are under development and will be available soon, but we invite you to begin with our current beta test here. Weâll keep you updated about important new developments here on our blog.
If you have any questions, feedback, or want to talk about Foreventory (or XYO and COIN), youâll find our Discord server here!

The new platform integrates enhanced data sovereign technologies and seamless usability functionalities to advance more accessible and empowered digital experiences for users to engage in XYOâs DePIN ecosystem and the broader digital landscape.
With xyOS now available to the public, users of all backgrounds can confidently navigate blockchain-based applications with ease while reclaiming ownership of their online interactions in the process. By placing users at the helm, xyOS initiates a paradigm shift in digital autonomy that can bridge the gap between the complex world of decentralized technology and the everyday user.
âThe beta launch of xyOS is a pivotal moment in our journey towards a more sovereign internet for everyone,â said Arie Trouw, co-founder and CEO of XYO. âItâs unfortunate that our current engagements in Web2 are laced with a level of risk at best and exploit at worst. With xyOS, we empower users to take control of their online data using a decentralized platform that simulates the comfort and familiarity of platforms weâve come to know, and all while putting their freedom, autonomy, and innovation at the forefront.â
xyOS, short for XYO Operating System, represents a new chapter for the protocol, leveraging the decentralized benefits of blockchain technology through a user-friendly graphical interface. Similar to an iPhone home screen or Windows desktop, xyOS democratizes access to the XYO Platform, Protocol, and Network, offering a sleek setup of dApps now accessible with a click or tap. By storing all data locally, users retain full control and sovereignty over their information, with the flexibility to modify or delete it at their discretion. From simplifying node setup (and allowing virtually any device to become a node in XYOâs DePIN) to providing real-time insights into XYO technologies, xyOS is a catalyst for change in the digital ecosystem.
Key features of xyOS include an array of core and default dApps such as Profile, Settings, System Health, and Name Service, as well as tools like Quick Search, OS Theming, and a dashboard clock. Together, users can establish new identities and preferences in the XYO ecosystem to begin peer-to-peer engagements and be primed for eventual third-party dApp development.
âTogether, we have the power to shape a digital future that is truly our own,â added Arie Trouw. âWhether itâs safely engaging and exchanging with other users in a peer-to-peer manner, or eventually playing secret mini-games for added fun, xyOS is all about enhancing the user experience. No longer shackled by the constraints of centralized platforms, users can explore, create, exchange, and connect with confidence, knowing that those engagements are truly their own.â
The future of the internet is in our hands, and with xyOS, navigating the online world no longer means leaving our data vulnerable or decentralized technology uncharted. For more information and to sign up for xyOS, visit the platform here.

SAN DIEGOâââMarch 28, 2024âââToday, XYO ($XYO) and XY Labs ($XYLB) proudly announce their membership in the Digital Assets Association (DAA), a non-profit association at the forefront of integrating blockchain technology into the fabric of traditional finance. The DAA aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the transformative potential of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) by facilitating connections between the digital asset landscape and traditional financial institutions. Its founding committee includes leaders and visionaries representing top firms and blockchain projects such as DigiFT, Onfet, Tranchess, Banking Circle, and Bright Point International Digital Assets.
According to Polaris Research, the Asia Pacific blockchain market was valued at USD 2.64 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand, with an annual growth rate of 56.8% in the foreseeable future. This growth indicator, coupled with the trillions of dollars of assets expected to be tokenized by the end of the decade, makes clear that a revolution in blockchain is fast approaching. While asset tokenization is making headway across the world, Asian governments and enterprises are increasingly embracingâââand scalingâââprojects dedicated to asset tokenization as a cornerstone of the new digital economy. Major institutional players in Singapore such as JPMorgan, DBS, and BNY Mellon are exploring various RWA use cases. With experts projecting asset tokenization to be a USD 3T economic opportunity in Asia alone, the region has transformed into a hotbed of asset tokenization activity and adoption, spanning both governments and enterprises.
By joining DAAâs membership community, XYO gains a front-row seat with unprecedented views into critical emerging trends and the cutting-edge companies behind them that are driving the region and world at large forward.
âXYO and XY Labs are honored to join the Digital Assets Association as one of its inaugural members,â says Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO. âThis partnership illustrates our dedication to broadening our engagement in Asia and strengthening XYOâs broader goal to bolster the adoption of groundbreaking blockchain technology through meaningful integrations with traditional finance. As a DAA member, XYO and XY Labs eagerly anticipate participating in regulatory discussions and helping to shape policies that encourage innovation and development in this vibrant industry.â
âThe Digital Assets Association is pleased to welcome cutting-edge data sovereignty protocol XYO to the organization,â says Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO of DigiFT, a founding member of DAA. âWe are confident that APAC will continue its momentum and further bolster its position as a blockchain hub. The DAA was established to enable the financial services ecosystem to fully capitalize on the immense potential of tokenization, and collaborating with XYO brings DAA one step closer to fulfilling this vision.â

As 2023 comes to a close, I reflect on the past year of what XYO has been able to accomplish. But more importantly, I look at what we didnât accomplish. Every day, I spend time at my computer, and I think about how I can challenge myself in the pursuit of a more perfect internet. How can we work as a project, as a community, to bring XYO to everyone across the world? How do we create the perfect digital environment for our core values? How do we bring true data sovereignty, data provenance, and data permanence to everyone who rightly deserves it?
XYO stands at the precipice of three, very long years of intense XYO development. In that time, we have grown our incredible team of developers, and weâve perfected the core technology needed for incoming development atop the XYO Platform. XYO 2.0 is ready.
In 2024, we ask you to be ready as well.
Our 2024 roadmap looks a little different than those youâve seen in the past. Our changes take into account the biggest strides weâve made, and they keep in check the stumbles weâve had, too.
Some of the biggest changes youâll notice are:
We have chosen to deprecate the quarterly system for 2024. Itâs a big change, but itâs not an unfamiliar one in the world of tech. This set up allows us to display a clear path for our community without arbitrary, 3-month timelines. Our team-based product mapping offers transparency for the road aheadâââwhere youâll see growth, and who will be responsible for making that a reality. After a variety of products and even more ahead of us, our 2024 will create brand cohesion and clarity. Weâll be working on more videos, more content and even more ways to integrate XYO into your daily life easily. Seamlessly.
2024 will be the year of XYO.

Yes, I said it. The current trajectory of Web3 and blockchain strays further from the original dream of decentralization and sovereignty. Every. Single. Day.
Why? We are in an unstable and still-developing blockchain industry. In the past few years, some of the mightiest blockchain companies have fallen and many others have failed to find lift-off in the first place. Common pitfalls for Web3 focused companies and projects include:
So whatâs the result of all this? Regression. Companies lean back on Web2 standards and safety nets, resulting in less-than-attractive technological advances. Even many Web3 efforts are pivoting back to centralized control with technologies such as upgradable contracts.
More than ever, it is imperative to build with the original purpose in mind:
Personal digital sovereignty and a Sovereign Internet for the world.
At XYO, we have experienced the difficulties a Web2 world presents for Web3 development and growth. Never has it deterred us. Our company has been around since 2012, and our blockchain journey began in early 2018. Since then, weâve launched numerous Web3 products and weathered many a bear market. Recently, we launched our near-term Q4 2023Â Roadmap.
Our goals for Q4 continue to chart a path back to what Web3 was meant to be: a widespread, open source ecosystem that brings data providers and data consumers together in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Goals:
Each of these come together to make Q4 the springboard for an exciting, community-involved 2024. This all starts with large developmental efforts.
We have already begun working on developer documentation. Docusaurus offers a beautiful and well-known layout that is easy for developers to navigate. Additionally, weâve already made strides in improving the Explore and Node website experiences. These sites are primarily useful for developers who need a visual representation of the modules and data they are working with and the relationships between them.
Weâve fully documented our SDKs, but that is just the beginning. To ensure that everyone can contribute and utilize XYO weâre adding:
An introduction to a new code documentation is always useful. While XYO can be added to nearly any project out there, it still presents a new way of coding and thinking about data. To help guide new XYO developers, an introduction, as well as some practice examples, are slated to be added in Q4 2023. This will help new developers start using XYO on day one, and help them feel more comfortable with ideas like: data as XYO payloads, incorporating XYO modules, building custom modules, and contributing to the development of the XYO Platform.
Itâs important that new XYO developers can consistently rely on our reference documentation. Glossaries provide clarity, reduce confusion, and can be the difference between adoption and abandonment. The XYO Ecosystem Glossary will serve as a way to increase comprehension of XYO terms and a method of reducing the time needed to learn prior to building with an XYO SDK or plug-in.
Internally, we use Typescript, and it ensures we maintain a clean, accessible, and easy-to-read codebase. Part of this meticulous style of coding means we catch potential type traps early, and we look forward to having this incorporated in our XYO documentation and codebases.
Our documentation plans for Q4 and beyond also include details on how to easily integrate XYO features into existing projects. By using XYOâs technology, you can improve the sovereignty, performance and user experience of your website. Future XYO integrations detailed in the documentation will be things like code examples for features like PermaShareâââcopy and paste a block of code, and suddenly your existing function can turn your page into a PermaShare link!
Explore is a treasure trove for anyone wanting to analyze XYO data. On explore.xyo.network, you can browse payloads on a public or private archivist, view payload schemas, and see how the XYO modules in your code interact with each other. It also serves as a way for developers to easily visualize what they are building.
Node is designed as a way to run an XYO Node on your browser or device. With decentralization and sovereignty at the heart of everything we do, we made Node so that anyone can create and interact with XYO. No setup. No gatekeeping. No barriers.
Our Builder Bounty program in 2024 (more on that below) could result in quite a few new XYO dApps and module options. When an XYO contributor, codeless or otherwise, wants to use a new dApp that has been created, they can spin up an XYO Node on their computer with node.xyo.network, and run that dApp in the resulting digital environment.
Through node.xyo.network, users will also be able to occasionally complete Builder Bounties. For example, if a request includes running a module on your personal computer, the module will most likely be run within node.xyo.network. Youâd visit node.xyo.network, spin up the correct module on your computer, process data or run the module in some way, and return the result.

Simply put, PermaShare lets you share data with a permanent hash.
Letâs break it down.
PermaShare solves one of the biggest problems we face today. Not being able to trust what we see on the internet.
You know exactly what I mean. We go on the internet daily. Each time we find something, we do a mental âchecklistâ to ensure we can trust the source and the data, itself.
âIs it shared by a trusted account?â, we ask ourselves. âCool, itâs got the check mark. But did they just pay for it? How do I know itâs not trying to trick me?â Next, we question the data itself. âAny weird filters or edits in the image or data itself? Wait, is that closed-caption really what [insert politician here] said, or is that edited?â You do this, subconsciously and consciously, every time you see something new.
It wastes our time, our energy, and our brain power. The tiny bits of frustration build up and affect our outlook on the world. We need something better.
As stated earlier, PermaShare is a hash-based sharing tool. But before we dive into the details of PermaShare, itâs important to understand the underlying technology and the value that comes along with it.
One of the key differentiators for general blockchain technology is the ability to have an audit trail. With the use of cryptographic signatures and blockchain ledgers, you can track the source, or provenance, of data without fear of it being invalid or altered. Being able to easily trace the source of data means we just have to ask one question about our data:
Can I trust the original creator of this data?
Once you can trust the source of the data, itâs easy to establish data confidenceâââany time, anywhere.
PermaShare makes the process of establishing data confidence easier than ever before. It also solves the problem of longevity for shared dataâââeven if a platform goes out of business or you end up shadow-banned, you can always view the data you originally shared.
Social Media platforms present a beautiful example of just how far-reaching the positive effects of PermaShare can be. Letâs start small.
When you share a link today, the social media site you use caches the image. Even if the content on the page changes, the social media site will rely on the image they previously saved for that link. Why? Itâs useful. Caching can improve performance, visual consistency, and reduce data usage, just to name a few of its perks.
PermaShare (and XYO) offers the same level of usefulness, but with a âfewâ extra add-ons: transparency, historical recordkeeping, data authentication, manipulation prevention, verified news, improved user control, and data privacy.
Every year, new social platforms pop up. But in most cases, their core data is the same: text, images, videos, links. But each time a new platform launches, thereâs always an underlying test of longevity. The worst part is the data loss. Thousands of accounts, millions of photos and songs, and a huge blip in the digital global history.
Instead of mourning the data losses from a dead platform, imagine transferring your entire profileâs history to a new one.
Transforming social media material to XYO payloads allows users to take control of the data they create on social platforms. Right now, users assume they have ownership over the content they share, but the underlying reliance on Web2's centralized systems equals instability. Permanent links help maintain the integrity of the content that users originally interacted with. Imagine you had a personal, private website to pull up your old MySpace account, or you could laugh again at a bunch of Vines.
Live Sharing is the corollary to PermaShare. While it maintains the audit trail and blockchain benefits of PermaSharing, it also allows you to share âliveâ data.
This can be anything from the literal âliveâ score of a popular sports game, the relative value of a US Dollar to the British Pound, or the top 5 coins on CoinMarketCap. Live Sharing also solves some of the most annoying problems about sharing today. Hereâs an example:
Robert wants to share a link to his new online business for custom shoes. He shares the link on Facebook, gets some new customers, and life is great! The website homepage Robert shared showcased one of his most popular shoes, and the demand is so high, he has to take it off the site while he waits for shipments. However, even after updating to a new shoe design on the homepage, the Facebook link doesnât update the share image! Suddenly, Robert experiences angry potential customers, who clicked the Facebook link and expected the shoe was available.
Now, imagine Robert had used an XYO Live Sharing link instead.
When Robert shares the link to the homepage of his new website, it displays the live products he decides to showcase. When he launches new designs, or has to take some down for shipment delays, the link automatically updates to the new designs heâs trying to sell. Any new customers that end up on Robertâs site from that link have seen a design that is readily available, and they can go ahead and purchase it that day.
Together, PermaShare and Live Sharing improve something people already interact with every day. But the improvements donât stop here. Having permanent links with easily accessible audit trails is something every industry needs, whether itâs to better track and authenticate blood glucose levels for diabetes monitoring or Olympic race times. PermaShare offers a single, verifiable, isolated recordâââanonymity, access, and control is all in the userâs hands. And weâre already using PermaShare internally today.
Weâre already using PermaShare and Live Sharing in several places across our tech stack internally with excellent results. Weâre working on bringing these XYO-backed benefits to the community so that everyone can leverage the power of XYO.
The XYO Builder Bounty program is slated for early 2024. Bounty programs often focus on bug reportsâââethical hackers locate and report issues with software and receive a reward for doing so. With our bounty program, we wanted to primarily promote the contribution to and adoption of XYO technology and still include Bug Bounties only for release code.
A big focus of the XYO Builder Bounty program is for developers to contribute to the XYO technology and open-source community. We are also considering bounties for non-developers. This means you could get bounties for running codeless tasks, such as running a specific module overnight or computing larger sets of data. During the Builder Bounty Program, this is a manual process, but it will later be replaced with automated payment channels for running nodes that contribute to shared data. These channels will be funded by people using the data, resulting in an automated two sided data marketplace.
Hereâs a Rate My NFT Builder Bounty Example:
Run an XYO Module to generate 10,000 Rate My NFT scores to improve the speed of Foreventory.
In this example, we are asking the community to run a pre-coded module that uses your CPU to generate Rate My NFT scores. Why? Because of the collection size! Itâs over 10,000 NFTs, so it may take some time to scan, rate, and create payloads for that set of data. After youâve completed the task, you can share the result with the team, and receive your bounty.
It may seem like a simple task, but the benefit is huge. After the NFTs have been rated, they can now be more easily accessed as payloads. Itâs faster, more efficient, and available for anyone using Rate My NFTs. And of course, the person providing the data or development is rewarded for their completed task.
Our goal is to have the XYO token serve as a way for the bounty program to start a stable, utility-based economy as we move into 2024.
XYOâs Q4 2023 is bound to be exciting. We have new things lined up for release, and weâve set our sights on a worthwhile list of upgrades to our technology, setting us up for a paradigm-shifting 2024. We are aiming to alter the course of Web3 development, not just provide incremental improvements predicated on the ideas of others. We expect to have our work redefine how Web3 is envisioned and developed. The battle for personal, digital, and shared sovereignty is the most important challenge facing society today, and XYO is at the forefront of that battle.
On a more personal note, I am extremely excited about releasing PermaShare. It not only helps solve ongoing issues that are common on the internet, it also showcases the power of the XYO approach to Web3. Most importantly, it demonstrates that simple tools can drastically improve user security. Security through transparency is the way of the future.
The XYO Protocol, Platform, and Ecosystem is the culmination of years of work by myself and the extraordinary team that are here at XY Labs and XYO.

Weâre excited to share our plans with you and canât wait to show you how these developments will revolutionize the XYO ecosystem.
Keep in mind, this is only the roadmap updates for Q4â2023. The full 2024 roadmap will also be shared in the next few weeks!
Be sure to check out the updated visual Q4 roadmap on the XYOÂ Website!
But before we venture forth, letâs talk about whatâs not on the docket for Q4. As you may have guessed, if youâre familiar with our original 2023 roadmap, some of our most exciting and ambitious plans for 2023 have been bumped to Q1 and Q2 of 2024. This includes our Crypto Cards CCG and the new version of XYOÂ World.
Wait! Hold your groans, weâre not here to disappoint you today.
Thereâs a simple reason for this. Those new products have got to be good, and weâre not going to release them until weâre confident they are. So weâre dedicating Q4 to improving the foundations upon which these productsâââand indeed the entire XYO ecosystemâââare built. Moreover, many of the features queued for Q4 are key features or requirements for our products in 2024. Not only will we be improving the underlying technology, weâll also be taking critical steps towards making future products a reality.
Part of this plan includes some really cool stuff we havenât talked about before. Youâre going to like it, we can pretty much guarantee it. But weâll get to that in a momentâââread on.
Our most important goal for wrapping up 2023 is to create a stronger foundation for both XYO World (XYOW) and Crypto Cards CCG, not to mention the wider XYO ecosystem. To achieve this, weâve decided to move the launch of both of these products to the first half of 2024, and first focus on building core XYO Platform technology required to develop XYO dApps like these including two new XYO featuresâââPermaShare and Live Sharing.
These new concepts are key features for both XYOW and Crypto Cards CCG, and we canât wait to show you how theyâll enhance the user experience for players like you.
PermaShare is an XYO Tool that allows you to share a permanent snapshot of a webpage. See a funny typo on CNNâs homepage? Want to share the breaking news article in The New York Times? With PermaShare, you can truly create a permanent snapshot of anything you want to share, and it can never be changed or deleted.
This may sound similar to projects like the Internet Archiveâs Wayback Machine. But PermaShare is a critical evolution of the concept. For example, the Wayback Machine doesnât store images, and as a result, a lot of material is lost. PermaShare, on the other hand, provides a true, image-based or cryptographic data snapshot.
In contrast, hereâs the earliest Wayback Machine snapshot of Whitehouse.gov, from 1996:
Moreover, PermaShare permanently validates the data saved with blockchain cryptography, providing a source and proving that snapshots taken are unaltered. This is the critical provenance the internet needs in the age of digital misinformation and AI.
PermaShare is a core feature weâve had planned for XYO World and Crypto Cards all year. In order to share and verify important information from either of those products, weâll include PermaShare. For example, the outcome of a game of CryptoCards can be verified by anyone with access to the PermaShare snapshot for that battle.
Weâve decided to release PermaShare as not just a mutual feature of XYO World and Crypto Cards, but as a product unto itself, because its vast array of potential uses demand that it be made easily available to both users and developers. Itâs a fantastic on-ramp, a great reason to include XYO into a third party project or product, and it will doubtlessly be included in more XYO products in the future.
Weâre also building out our feature called Live Sharing. This wonât be a product on its own, but it will be an important feature of XYO products moving forward and will be included in XYOâs public SDKs.
Itâs already been debuted in Foreventory, and is now in the process of being refined and expanded.
This is a little different from the sharing features with which you may be familiar. The data shared is dynamic, and will update when anything changes. For example, in Foreventory, if Descartes begins getting more value out of Netflix than Nietzsche in the future, that will be reflected in the results if anyone visits the shared link.
Live Sharing is, simply put, a better way to share mutable data. If you want to share your Crypto Cards score over time, the same share link will always show your most recent statistics. (This synergizes perfectly with PermaShare, which would allow you to share your Live Sharing link at a specific moment in time, proving how much progress youâve made.)
Together with COIN, Crypto Cards CCG and XYO World will become the second and third pillars of XYOâs new decentralized gaming ecosystem, which will harness a massive, decentralized network of users and devices to both generate and utilize astonishingly powerful aggregate data.
But thereâs something else we havenât told you about yet. Something for which weâre building the foundations. In Q1 2024, weâre introducing the XYO Builder Bounty Program.
Get ready for our first ever opportunity for fans to supercharge the power of XYO, coming in 2024. Weâre giving true enthusiasts like you the chance to directly contribute to building XYO and earn exclusive, specialty rewards. Donât miss out on the electrifying updates in our upcoming 2024 Roadmap. Stay tuned, itâs dropping soon!
In service of these goals, our future goals, as well as the wider adoption of XYO, weâre also hard at work revitalizing our developer tools. These tools have been designed to make it easy for developers to build and integrate XYO technology into their own apps and projects. We believe that improving these tools will help us reach a wider audience of developers and enthusiasts who are excited about the possibilities afforded by XYO technology.

This includes updates to our Explore and Node sites to better reflect the latest developments and improvements in our technology. These tools have become integral parts of the XYO ecosystem, and we recognize the importance of keeping them current and relevant to our users. By updating these web apps, we hope to provide users with an even better experience and make it easier than ever for developers to keep XYO up-to-date in their software projects.
Weâve also previously mentioned that there are major, ongoing changes to the XYO SDKs. These changes will augment the same products that PermaShare and Live Sharing have been built to support. By including these features in our public SDKs, we ensure that XYO is as useful as possible for third party developers, and we enable all XYO products to include our best features quickly and efficiently.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
Also being updated is the crucial and oft-discussed XYO protocolâââthe set of rules and standards upon which XYO operates. Small, specific changes across all of these developer tools include:
The updates to these tools will allow both internal and external developers to build on XYO more efficiently, faster, and with greater ease than ever before.
Q4 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting time for the XYO team and our users. While weâve decided not to rush the fun stuff weâd originally planned, we think itâs better to make sure those things are excellent when we do release them next year. And what weâre doing now will not only make those products better, but allow for the incorporation of some of their important features into other softwareâââboth internal and third partyâââthat could greatly benefit from them.
From improved developer tools and SDKs, to PermaShare and Live Sharing, weâre building the foundations for fun and exciting new consumer products and pushing the boundaries of whatâs possible in the world of web3. Weâre excited to continue sharing our progress and developments with you, and canât wait to see how these new advancements will revolutionize the industry.
And, perhaps most exciting of all, weâre introducing a way for you, the people who love XYO, to help XYO succeed and get rewarded for doing it. We are beyond thrilled to finally get to tell you about the XYO Builder Bounty Program for the very first time and we can hardly wait to tell you more in future updates.

What a ride! XYOâs Q3 was a fiscal quarter to remember, and thatâs precisely what weâre here to do.
Weâll dive into XYOâs Q3 milestones in growth, applications, and open-source development. Weâll also discuss how these developments tie into the three core concepts that define XYOâs trajectory and futureâââsovereignty, provenance, and permanence.
In 2023, weâve introduced you to the importance of data sovereignty, to ensure people retain control over their digital lives, and indeed, the data that defines who they are in the digital age. Weâve also confronted the issue of illusory permanence, and with our biggest software launch all yearâââForeventoryâââweâve taken the first steps to helping XYO users achieve true data permanence.
And thereâs even more weâve been up to. XYOâs founders, Arie Trouw and Markus Levin, have delved deeper into thought leadership than ever before, providing expert commentary for major publications ranging from Cointelegraph to Nasdaq, and many more. They also continue to make strides in service of the long-term health of XYOâs software, network, and token.
The year, of course, is far from over. Stay tuned for our updated Q4 Roadmap and the high-level view of our 2024 Roadmap, coming soon!
Now, letâs look back at some of the coolest things weâve done and experienced all year.
Q3 kicked off with a roar and the launch of our newest software product, Foreventory! We launched with a data analytics tool that can be used for your Netflix account, analyzing how much use and value youâre getting out of it.
XYO https://t.co/cLW4xMvNMY pic.twitter.com/tpCRrOvqy8
Not only can Foreventory show users like you how much value youâre getting out of your Netflix account overall, it can also show you how much each profile is using it, explore which shows your family likes most, or if youâre feeling competitive, duel profiles against one another. Foreventory even lets you dive deep to analyze everything about your watching habits. Whether you just want an at-a-glance tool or you want to feed your inner data nerd, Foreventory can help.
This incredibly powerful, easy-to-use tool is free. Hereâs how to try it.
Netflix analytics, of course, is just the first tool to become available for Foreventory users. Keep reading, more on that in a bit.
Later in July, the CEO of XY Labs, Arie Trouw, published a new piece for Cointelegraph Innovation Circle entitled, âIs 2023 the year weâre able to take control of our data?â This thorough and insightful piece gave readers a primer on how to think about data sovereignty, and why it should be on everyoneâs mind. He also shared his thoughts on the possible directions for data sovereignty in the future, both good and bad, with instruction on how we, as users, can steer things in the right direction. Learn more about data sovereignty here.
Our new data analytics tool, Foreventory, represents a leap forward for personal data sovereignty. Let's talk about how it works and why that's important. #XYOhttps://t.co/VF1f5PaA6A pic.twitter.com/cwFQ0JXCxY
At the end of July, we explained how Arieâs vision of data sovereignty ties in with Foreventory. We covered why accessing your own data is important, and why being able to make data human-readable is critical to understanding it. We also delved into how to get your hands on the data you rightfully own, and leverage it for your own benefit.

XYOâs August turned out to be, well, august, and began with a proper altcoin summer rally for the XYO token. It brought a lot of new eyes to XYO and we made sure new fans were properly introduced to our project and our vision.
Next, our development team launched into the upcoming phase for Foreventoryâââits much-anticipated web3 features. The first of these will be a Rate My NFTs tool (this is the working title and may not be final), which will allow users to obtain individual quality ratings for NFTs across a number of popular blockchains, or rate a collection in any given wallet or gallery using a sample of the NFTs inside. Quality ratings are based on transparent criteria and each of these criteria are laid out in a breakdown of the overall rating of each NFT.
Will your favorite NFT get a perfect score like this NyanCat piece from @mntge_io and owned by @SnoopDogg? đ€ #Foreventory pic.twitter.com/fwEBJgADui
This feature is currently in the alpha phase of testing. Public beta testing will followâââbe sure to stay tuned to XYOâs social media for updates!
XY Labs has been a remote team since Spring of 2020, when COVID lockdowns coincided with the expiration of our lease on our beautiful, and much beloved, downtown San Diego office. We embraced a new way of working, and it opened new horizons for our team. The core XY Labs team now spans across the country, with partners and contractors around the world.
This summer we decided to meet up with one another in XYOâs hometown of San Diego. After a wonderful dinner at one of the cityâs legendary microbreweries, Arie explained his vision for XYO and its future to the core XY Labs team. The next day, he treated the team to gourmet tacos and a pool party at his beautiful home where we got to truly feel like a team. (Although some of the code nerds among us could not be stopped from working while we were there. We tried.)
Our minds refreshed, we got back to work.
Everything XYO does is built on the XYO SDKs. Software Development Kits are the fundamental code which links one project to another, that allow a project to be built on and into XYO. SDKs are the code that defines what XYOÂ is.
XYO SDKs (software development kits) are being updated regularly! Our SKDs help developers - including our own - build software using XYO. Building Foreventory is revealing the work that needs to be done. This repository is public, check it out here: https://t.co/ZXOAAaufoE pic.twitter.com/fHEEGJEHv3
One of the benefits of building software products like Foreventory with our SDKs is shining a light on how our SDKs can be improved. This is behind the scenes work thatâs absolutely necessary to the ongoing health and success of XYO.
This has become a major focus of XYOâs 2023 Q3. Itâs imperative that the software we releaseâââand that our partners releaseâââbe the best we can make it, and always in the process of improvement. With that in mind, back-end performance improvements, bug fixes, and stabilizations have been rolling out almost daily throughout XYOâs early autumn.
Public XYOÂ SDKs:

Youâll find documentation for XYOâs open-source platform here. While youâll find much to learn already available, these documents are updated regularly and more documentation will become available over time.
Meanwhile, XYOâs other co-founder, Markus Levin, who burns the midnight oil as the Head of Operations for XY Labs, has been hard at work ensuring the health of our business and token. Our friends at Australian Crypto Convention naturally asked him to be one of their guest speakers in Melbourne this year. Not only that, but we were asked to invite ten (ten!) lucky Aussie fans to join us there.
Congratulations, Eric! đ„ł Further details are in an email we've sent to you. We'll see you in Melbourne in November!Didn't win? No worries! We've got more tickets and will be doing weekend giveaways throughout October, or you can grab your tickets here: https://t.co/Wp76COskpY pic.twitter.com/oEEMqYJxCY
XYO and COIN superfan, Eric, was the very deserving winner of our first giveaway, then we decided to put our heads together with the COIN team and invite only the very best geominers in Victoria (the state where Melbourne is located) to join Markus at the convention in November!
To round out Q3, XYO did one of the things thatâs been most requested by the community for years. The XYO token finally made the leap to Layer 2, alleviating the high gas prices and congestion that come with using Ethereum, by adding XYO to the OPÂ Mainnet.
BREAKING NEWS: XYO is now on OP Mainnet! #XYO is better with #Optimism. Stay tuned for more Layer 2 news! @optimismFND https://t.co/4mEnlwMjYl pic.twitter.com/wv04UG9wpV
We finished the planning, work, and testing at the very end of Q3, and announced this leap forward to the public as our opening improvement of Q4.
Optimism bundles Ethereum transactions, allowing for faster transactions with much smaller gas fees. Itâs easy to get started trading using Uniswap! Youâll find full instructions in our announcement.
Now that weâve wrapped up XYOâs Q3 for you, hopefully weâve left you hungry for more. Not to worry, our detailed and updated Q4 roadmap is on the way, followed by our high-level 2024 roadmap, so you can see where all the work weâve done in 2023 is headed.

XYO Q3 Review: A Look Back at a BIG Quarter was originally published in XYO Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

A question we commonly receive is whether or not XYO would ever consider a Layer 2 solution for high Ethereum gas prices and slow transaction times.
Today, weâre proud to announce XYOâs arrival on OP Mainnet! With Optimism, you can expect faster and cheaper XYO token transactions than youâve ever experienced before. Letâs take a look at what Optimism is, how it can benefit XYO holders like you, and what implications this announcement will have for XYO.
Optimism is a blockchain scaling solution that offers a high-speed, layer-two scaling option for Ethereum. It boosts Ethereumâs capacity to support thousands of transactions per second while reducing gas fees. With the arrival of XYO on the OP Mainnet, crypto enthusiasts can look forward to lightning fast transaction speeds and significantly lower (read: dirt cheap) gas fees.
Optimism uses rollups to bundle transactions into entire blocks, allowing for quicker processing. This approach is much more efficient than Ethereumâs traditional method of processing transactions individually and offers much-needed relief for traders exhausted with high gas prices, peak hours, sluggish transactions, and costly speed boosts.
We asked resident crypto genius, Ryan, whoâs one of the megaminds behind developing COIN, to help make sure you know exactly how to power up your XYO with Optimism!
If youâve never used Optimism before, youâll need to bridge some ETH as a deposit onto Optimism, as Optimism uses it for gas, just like Ethereum.
Helpfully, Optimism has a handy web app.

Pro Tip: Transferring ETH to Optimism from Ethereum is quick, but withdrawing it may not be. At the time of publication, depositing ETH to OP Mainnet takes only a few minutes, but withdrawing it takes about a week. Only transfer the ETH and XYO you donât mind not having on Ethereum for a few days!

NOTE: Your cryptocurrency is still in your wallet! Itâs moved chains, but has not moved from your wallet. You can toggle between chains within your wallet at any time.

Once you have some ETH in your wallet on Optimism, youâll need to bridge some XYO tokens from the Ethereum to Optimism with a deposit.


Pro Tip: This approval only changes your spending cap. It does not deposit your XYO tokens to OPÂ Mainnet.

Once this transaction is complete, you have XYO tokens in your wallet on the OPÂ Mainnet!
Now, switch your wallet from Ethereum to Optimism. If you donât see your XYO in your wallet when itâs switched to Optimism, be sure to add XYO as a custom token in your wallet. (Youâll need to do this for Optimism even if youâve already done it for Ethereum!)


Youâll find your XYO in your wallet, but now on Optimism instead of Ethereum!

Youâre now free to trade XYO on Uniswap in the usual way. Well, not quite the usual way⊠youâre using Optimism!
Hereâs a convenient link to the XYO/ETH trading pair in Uniswap v3 on Optimism.

If youâve never traded on Uniswap before, not to worry, our good friends at CoinMarketCap have a step-by-step guide.
With XYO arriving on Optimism, crypto enthusiasts can expect not only faster, cheaper transactions, but also an improved trading experience. And the bridge between XYO and Optimism offers a unique opportunity for those seeking liquidity for their crypto assets. Importantly, this leap forward also provides a glimpse into the potential for blockchain technology to transform industries that rely on the quality data provided by XYO.
Itâs an exciting time for XYO, and with advancements like this, we can expect even greater innovation in the years to come. Get ready for a new era of improved XYOÂ trading!

With COIN, powered by XYO, youâre incentivized and rewarded to create valuable heuristic data. But while COIN allows you to leverage your ability to create data for your own benefit, thereâs another facet to data collection. As we like to point out, your data is immensely valuable. You should be able to use it for yourself!
To that end, the XY Labs team is opening up the COIN back end so you can see the data you generate for COIN. Now in alpha testing, the COIN Location dApp will allow COIN users to not only leverage their data but also access and use it, themselves.
Thatâs exciting, but weâre just getting started. We also want to make sure you have that kind of access to all of your data, not just what you generate in our systems. You probably use multiple online services from different companies every single day.
You should have this kind of back door, VIP access to your data from every possible source.
Are you wondering why you would want that? What use it might be to you? Youâve probably experienced something a few times in your life. An epiphany that a new product, tool, or service you never knew you needed or wanted is better than you expected, more useful and helpful than you could have imagined. Pretty soon, you wonder how you ever got along without it.
Youâre going to feel that way about Foreventory. Weâre here to open up a new world of possibilities to you.
Thereâs a good chance youâve enjoyed the power of your data in the past. One of the best companies in the world for data transparency (we love to see it) is also the biggest music streaming service in the world: Spotify. Not only do they make sure you have convenient access to your Spotify data every single year, they also make it fun and give you a great way to use it.
Every December, now almost as ubiquitous as Christmas lights and holiday sales, comes Spotify Wrapped. If youâre active on social media at all, you probably see your family and friends posting their favorite music for everyone to see. Itâs likely youâve shared yours, too.
In sharing the data theyâve collected about you with you, in an engaging and useful way, Spotify has created a reliable, annual viral marketing campaign. And not only do you get to enjoy learning about your own music-listening habits, Spotify allows you to make a playlist of your one hundred favorite songs, in the exact order of how much you listened to them.
This is brilliant. Every company should do this, or so you would think. But they donât, and thatâs where XYO comes in.
Thereâs a reason a lot of companies donât want you to see the data you generate for them. For one thing, they often sell it, and obfuscation makes paying for access more desirable. For another, you might learn too much from your data for their liking.
That may sound a bit conspiratorial, but itâs true.
For example, if you use a service and can break down exactly how much itâs costing you relative to how much youâre getting out of it, you might discover youâre not getting much out of it at all. If you find out youâre paying $10 an hour for a video streaming service, the last people who want you to know it is that streaming service.
If you play an online game, you might be familiar with price obfuscation in the form of currency conversion. The cash shops of multiplayer online games donât have prices in your native fiat currency. Youâve never paid $15 for a cool mount or skin or power-up. No, you bought a pack of Sparkling Doubloons for a cash price, and then the price you were presented for the Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount was shown in Sparkling Doubloons.
This is explicitly so youâd have to stop and figure out how much that mount is actually costing you. Letâs go ahead and do that.
21,000 Sparkling Doubloons: $149.99
Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount: 5,000 Sparkling Doubloons
(150 Ă· 21000) x 5000 = 35.71428571428571
Actual cost of Ultra Velociraptor High-Speed Mount:Â $35.72
By the way, this pricing isnât made up. Itâs based on a real, very popular online game.
Thatâs the power of data when you actually know it, and companies know this data has power. Thatâs why they intentionally stand between you and your data.
But thereâs a way to get that data. Letâs dive in.
You just need to know how. Even if youâre not familiar with GDPR, youâve definitely encountered its repercussions.
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Itâs a European Union regulation passed in 2016 and implemented in 2018. The law aims to make sure internet users are aware of how their data is collected, how itâs being used, and who has access to it. Since GDPR was implemented, youâll have become familiar with this:
But thatâs not all GDPR does. If you request the data collected by any given company which operates within the EU, theyâre compelled to provide it as part of GDPR compliance.
The European Union is big, with almost 448 million residents. Itâs also incredibly wealthy. With a combined GDP of all member nations of 16.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, it consistently represents one of the three largest economies in the world, along with the United States and China.
Most global companies want to be able to do business in the EU, and doing business in the EU means complying with GDPR. Consequently, most companies that have online services have a way to request your data from them. And you can make this request whether youâre in the EU or not.
But if youâve ever done so, you may have noticed thereâs a problem. The output tends to be raw data. Thereâs little context and not much you can do with it.
This doesnât look like much, but with the right tool, it can be turned into something amazing. Your raw data can power graphs, playlists, head-to-head comparisons, cost analyses, productivity tracking, and more. It can be used to help you manage your life, your free time, your productive time, your family, your household, or your business. It can even, believe it or not, be a lot of fun to use.
XYOâs new web app, Foreventory, the worldâs first decentralized data analytics tool for everyday data, will show you how powerful your data is, and perhaps most importantly, transform how you interact with the data youâre already generating across multiple platforms. New Web3 features are under development and will be available soon, but we invite you to begin with our current beta test here. Weâll keep you updated about important new developments here on our blog.
If you have any questions, feedback, or want to talk about Foreventory (or XYO and COIN), youâll find our Discord server here!
