The XY Oracle Network is a blockchan-based location verification service. It is designed to be compatible with many devices and across different smart contract protocols. XYO uses innovative cryptographic techniques to combine real-world data with a blockchain-based system that can be used by DApps. The XYO Network was developed by a San Diego based company called XY, that makes GPS and Bluetooth devices. The company is building the network's infrastructure that will consist of location-verifying beacons that will enable smart contracts to incorporate location data. The network is powered by the Ethereum-based XYO token.

ConsenSys is one of the most influential blockchain technology companies.
