What if the first DePIN was launched years before the term even existed? ⏰

In this episode, we sit down with Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO, the original DePIN protocol powering real-world data validation through a global network of 8M+ devices and earning over $10M in revenue.

From cryptographic location proofs to on-demand data requests, XYO has been quietly building one of the most active decentralized infrastructure networks in the world.

We discuss:

- How XYO scales data validation with mobile devices

- Why apps are essential for onboarding non-crypto users

- XYO’s crowdsourced model and token incentives

- The real economics behind $10M+ in protocol revenue

- Insights on token buy & burn mechanics

- Why XYO is still a unique player in the DePIN space

- Future use cases in AI, underserved regions, and beyond

A must-listen for anyone curious about the real-world adoption of DePIN, and what it takes to build through multiple market cycles.
