#083 - XYO - Update: The New L1 Blockchain
Last year, XYO joined us to share their vision for powering the DePIN ecosystem. Now Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO, is back on the podcast — and he’s bringing some of the biggest updates yet. XYO has just unveiled their Layer One Blockchain, powered by a dynamic dual-token system designed for scalability, rewards, and long-term stability. 🔹 XYO Token – the fixed-supply anchor for staking, structure, and growth. 🔹 XL1 Token – the high-speed utility token fueling block rewards, gas fees, and real-time network activity. In this episode, Markus breaks down: - How staking XYO earns XL1 and drives ecosystem growth - Why their dual-token design balances stability + speed - What this means for builders, node operators, and the future of DePIN This isn’t just an update — it’s XYO laying the foundation for the next era of decentralized infrastructure.
