Developers can now use Claude, Codex, or any AI coding tool to put products directly on XYO Layer One without writing blockchain code, learning Solidity, or reading a line of documentation. Companion launch of XYO Data Lakes gives AI systems verified real-world data with cryptographic provenance.
XYO, the original Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) launched in 2018 with 10M+ nodes and, today launched the XYO AI SDK. Developers using Claude, Codex, or other AI coding environments can now build products that run on XYO Layer One without writing blockchain code or learning protocol internals; early access is open today.
Blockchain development has historically been gated by a small population of specialist engineers, which has constrained both the volume and variety of products that ever reach a chain. By collapsing that barrier into a natural-language interface, XYO opens its Layer One to the broader developer population already using AI coding tools, a group that has grown from niche to mainstream over the past two years. The result is a step-change in who can build on-chain and what they can build.
Vibe coding has already removed the skill barrier for software in general. XYO is removing the same barrier for blockchain. Anyone using an AI coding tool can now build on-chain, regardless of whether they have ever read a line of Solidity.
Some products are only possible when AI and on-chain infrastructure are combined. An AI agent that books your flights needs a bank account no bank will give it and an identity no government will issue. Crypto wallets and on-chain identity are the only available solution. The combination is not elegant. It is the only path to use cases that cannot exist on either stack alone. The infrastructure to make that combination accessible is the gap XYO is closing.
“Provenance, sovereignty, identity. These are working cryptographic answers AI has not used because putting anything on a blockchain has always been too hard for anyone outside a small group of specialist engineers. We have removed that barrier.” – Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO
What developers can now put on-chain
The SDK opens XYO Layer One to product categories that have been impractical to bring on-chain until now. A prediction market that previously needed a blockchain engineering team and months of integration can be built in hours. With the SDK, developers can now build AI-powered phygital games using XYO’s Proof of Location infrastructure, where players earn rewards for being somewhere, not for claiming they were, with in-game assets and progress living as tradeable on-chain records on one of the largest DePINs in operation. A personal health app can use XYO Data Lakes to aggregate blood tests, wearable readings, doctor visits, and other inputs into a single on-chain record the patient controls, with AI generating advice on top of verified data rather than the scraped, fragmented sources most health AI tools rely on.
AI agents are one category the SDK unlocks directly. Spinning up an agent has never been easier, but keeping it from being useless is another problem entirely. Without a wallet, an identity, and a way to verify its own logic, an agent cannot transact, prove who it is, or be held accountable for its decisions.
The XYO AI SDK puts those capabilities on-chain for any agent a developer builds. The agent gets a wallet that lets it transact, a verifiable identity, and an on-chain record of every decision it makes. The accountability piece is what most agent infrastructure today does not solve.
Solving AI’s data trust problem
Alongside the SDK, XYO is launching XYO Data Lakes, a cryptographically secured off-chain data storage system with on-chain proof of integrity, designed for AI workloads. Compatible with virtually every major storage platform in use today, every record receives immutable, auditable tracking with built-in change detection and full provenance.
The AI industry has a quiet problem with data trust. Most systems run on data with no real chain of custody. It was scraped, aggregated, or recorded by sources that have no way to prove what they captured or when. Verified data lakes mean AI systems can be trained on data with a clear chain of custody, dramatically reducing the risk of hallucinations. Connected machines can record their work directly to a data lake with provenance preserved. Smart cities can manage continuously growing datasets without losing auditability.
XYO Data Lakes give every product built with the new SDK the foundation to hold up at scale and under scrutiny. No blockchain has offered this before.
More to come
Today’s launch is the first in a series of XYO releases planned over the coming weeks, with forthcoming announcements covering partnerships across AI compute, gaming, and robotics.
