XYO NETWORK INTRODUCTION

- Mei 04, 2018

Location data is used every day across the world. Societies and economies are becoming increasingly reliant on the certainty and security of location heuristics. Self-driving vehicles, package-delivering drones and smart cities will likely call for an increased reliance upon trustless location data. The adoption of the technologies of tomorrow centers on their ability to trust location heuristics they receive from an off-chain resource.

The XYO Network introduces a source of location data that originate from a vastly distributed network of interconnected devices that can deliver the data that location-based smart contracts require for execution.

The XYO Network has four primary components: Sentinels (The Data Gatherers), Bridges (The Data Relayers), Archivists (The Data Storers), and Diviners (The Answer Aggregators). These four components enable geo-focused, consensus-building and trustless verification of location data. This means that when you write a smart contract that specifies for an object to appear at a specific XY-coordinate, if it appears there, you will know that it was at that location with absolute certainty.

Sentinels gather location information via sensors, radios, and other means. Bridges take this data from Sentinels and provide them to Archivists. Archivists store this information for Diviners to analyze. Diviners analyze location heuristics from Archivists in order to generate answers to queries and assign accuracy scores to them. Diviners then relay these answers back into a smart contract (thus, Diviners serve as oracles).

XYO Network aims to create a trustless, decentralized system of location oracles that is resistant to attack and produces the highest certainty possible when queried for available data. We accomplish this through a set of abstractions that greatly reduces the risk of location spoofing through a chain of zero-knowledge proofs along the components of the system.

Key Features of XYO Network

Token Sale Details

The XYO Network will rely on an ERC20 token called the XYO Token used to incentivize the desired behavior of providing accurate, reliable location. The XYO Token (XYO) is a utility token that smart contract developers can use to access geo-location verification from the real world. In order for your smart contract to access the outside world, it must use the XYO Network, which requires use of the XYO Token.
