Quick Guide about XYO Network and XY Oracle
The XYO (XY Oracle) Network is a network of devices that anonymously gathers and verifies geospatial data, or data with a geographic component.
Introduction to XYO (XYO)
$XYO is the native crypto of the XYO (XY Oracle) Network. It is referred to as an “oracle,” which in the terminology of cryptocurrencies refers to software that delivers current information from an online source to a blockchain protocol or decentralized application.
XYO Network and Proof of Origin
To respond to inquiries about the location of an object or a person, the XYO Network, an open-source network of geographic data, is used. The network uses “proof of origin” to do that. A proof of origin blockchain, according to the project’s white paper, may verify a location through the collection, validation, and storing of data based on “bound witness” interactions. When two unrelated or unconnected devices detect one another and report that they observed each other, they are said to be "inbound witness interactions." Each of these encounters shows that the participants were in fact there at the same place and time.
Bridges and Sentinels
Bound witness interactions occur between “sentinels,” otherwise data is being gathered in the XYO Network.
Sentinels are physical tools like smartphones, that broadcast information about their location, time, or temperature to establish bound witness interactions with other devices. A data-relaying “bridge” receives a sentinel’s broadcast signal.
Like sentinels, bridges are actual, physical XYO Network users, like smartphones. To verify that a witness interaction occurred, a bridge must find bound witness interactions and sign them. The “archivists,” or data stores, get the confirmed transactions after that. It is the responsibility of archivists to save all confirmed bound witness interactions that have been approved by bridges and to retrieve the information when necessary.
Diviners
The “diviners,” or the network’s answer aggregators, make up the last portion of the XYO network structure. The XYO Network nodes, known as diviners, provide information based on bound witness data. Usually, a person or computer program asks questions to determine if something or someone was at a certain location at a specific time. The archivist is available for queries from diviners, or they can go directly to a bridge for the information they require.
Sentinels, bridges, archivists, and diviners all earn $XYO tokens as payment for engaging in the XYO network.
When a question is answered using a sentinel’s or a bridge’s information, they are rewarded with XYO tokens. Although they aren’t paid for just storing data, archivists are rewarded for retrieving and using it. Finally, parties seeking to query data from the XYO Network pay diviners with XYO tokens.
