XYO’s Markus Levin: Why a Data-Native L1 Could Become AI’s “Proof of Origin” Backbone

In a SlateCast interview, XYO co‑founder Markus Levin outlined the company’s purpose‑built Layer‑1 designed for massive real‑world data flows. He highlighted DePIN’s rapid expansion, citing a World Economic Forum forecast that the sector could grow to trillions of dollars by 2028, and noted XYO already operates over 10 million nodes. Levin argued that AI’s biggest bottleneck is data provenance, positioning XYO’s blockchain as a “proof of origin” backbone for trustworthy model training. He also detailed the COIN app’s role in onboarding non‑crypto users and a dual‑token system that separates security from transaction costs.
