XYO is poised for an eventful Q4 2023, marked by the enhancement of developer tools and the introduction of innovative features. While some of their more ambitious endeavors have been postponed to Q1 and Q2 of 2024, the XYO team is resolutely committed to delivering exceptional products and fortifying the foundation of the XYO ecosystem.

In their Q4 roadmap, XYO has unveiled two pivotal features, PermaShare and Live Sharing, designed to enrich the user experience for both players and developers. 

PermaShare empowers users to create enduring snapshots of webpages, validated through blockchain cryptography, offering an unaltered source of information in an era rife with digital misinformation and AI. While Live Sharing presents a dynamic means of sharing mutable data, ensuring that shared information remains up-to-date in real-time.

These features are set to play a pivotal role in XYO World (XYOW) and Crypto Cards CCG, which are poised to become integral components of XYO's decentralized gaming ecosystem. 

Furthermore, XYO has plans to launch the XYO Builder Bounty Program in Q1 2024, providing enthusiasts with the opportunity to contribute directly to XYO's development while earning exclusive rewards.
Now, let's explore how these initiatives connect with their big-picture goals and the meaningful impact they aim to make in the blockchain and Web3 arena. Get deeper insights into XYO's evolving journey through our interview Q&A with XYO Network co-founder, Arie Trouw.
 

Can you share more details about the specific improvements you are focusing on in Q4 2023 to enhance the foundations of XYO's ecosystem?

 
A: Right now, we’re focusing on the bedrock features that support the platform and allow developers to create better dApps – namely, PermaShare, Live Sharing, and preparations for 3rd party development with in-depth documentation, guides, and examples.

Permashare is a tool we’ve created to help users share a “permanent” snapshot of a webpage. This could be anything from a funny typo in a news article to a tweet from a world leader - creating a permanent screenshot of anything you’d like to preserve. It can be easily shared with others but never altered or deleted.

"In many ways, Permashare is like the next evolution of the Wayback Machine – a popular internet archiving tool."

Arie Trouw, Co-founder of XYO Network

Unlike the Wayback Machine, Permashare captures all elements of a webpage, including the images. Permashare also leverages advanced cryptography to mathematically prove that a screenshot hasn’t been altered, and is an accurate record of history.

Live Sharing, on the other hand, is sort of the inverse of Permashare. It also allows you to create a snapshot of data, but instead of preserving the data at the moment it was captured, the snapshot updates dynamically to always show current information. It's easy to see the applications of this technology, particularly in Web3, whether it be a link to an NFT collection that always stays up to date, a price chart that auto-updates, or a gaming profile that always reflects your high score

Additionally, Live Share allows you to look at the previous versions of the data with a cryptographic audit trail (XYO Proof of Origin Chain). We talk about these as foundational features because it's easy to see how they will come into play down the road as we release future projects such as our Crypto Cards CCG, letting users more seamlessly share and compare their data.

Could you elaborate on how these features will benefit users and developers within the XYO ecosystem and what opportunities they create for third-party projects?

A: We’re releasing Permashare as both a feature of the XYO Platform and a standalone project, largely because we see its potential as a valuable internet archiving tool. Third-party projects will be able to implement and start using the feature immediately

"The idea of a provably correct screenshot is a pretty crazy concept, and I’m sure developers will waste no time finding innovative use cases for it. It's one of those features that can really make a product feel like magic."

Arie Trouw, Co-founder of XYO Network

I’m also excited to see how the tool makes its way into internet discourse. We’re very used to doctored headlines and not believing the screenshots we see on social media – imagine how useful a definitively accurate screenshot could be in internet debates.

Live Sharing
 will be incorporated into the XYO platform as a feature, rather than as a standalone product, but is key to allowing our developers to replicate traditional Web2 sharing features in a more privacy and data sovereignty-preserving way.

Live Sharing is the fundamental technology that PermaShare is built on. Think of creating a video but locking the viewer on a specific frame.

Can you provide insights into how community members can actively contribute to XYO's development and what kind of impact you hope this program will have on the future of XYO?

 
A: As a developer myself, XYO values its developers - they play a key role in the success of our protocol, contributing to its eventual optimization of other dApps and tools that fold into our goal of data sovereignty. The Bounty Program will be a coalescence of our upcoming dev efforts, including the publishing of materials documenting our tech for devs to replicate, iterate, and improve the XYO ecosystem. 

We’re also focused on debugging explore.xyo.network & node.xyo.network to make building and payloading easier than ever. We're enhancing the visualizer, introducing more module renderers to better visualize projects, and some UX improvements like better navigation, uniform icons, and other enhancements for a simpler and clearer user experience.

"While our team is still working on Bounty Program plans, we’re making crucial strides in supporting the future of XYO - we want to activate around our impassioned community and get them building something together that truly matters."

Arie Trouw, Co-founder of XYO Network

The areas where developers will be able to contribute range from creating their own XYO based dApps, to integrating XYO features into existing Web2/Web3 projects, to making actual contributions to the XYO Platform, either through the creation of new modules or creating pull-requests for existing open-source code.

As you reflect on the journey of XYO throughout 2023 and the strategic decisions to delay certain projects, how would you describe your overall perspective on the year? 


A: This year has brought more clarity around who XYO wants to be as it grows up in the blockchain world: A revolutionary Web3 platform based on Sovereign data and technology rather than consensus-based shared ledgers. 

We were previously focused on geolocation data, and while this is still a part of our story, XYO is looking to develop more all-encompassing solutions for user data to create a more accessible and functional Web3 experience for everyone. As we have developed solutions using our own platform, we continue to find places where we can improve the XYO Platform itself. 

"The balance is always a choice between investing time and effort in the core technology and those solutions, and in 2023, we chose to focus on the core technology when these decisions were made."

Arie Trouw, Co-founder of XYO Network

As the platform matures, this will have huge long-term benefits. In 2024, we expect to shift that balance towards dApps and solutions but our commitment to perfection of the XYO Platform itself will never be ignored.

The reality is that people’s digital footprint isn’t entirely theirs - relying on third parties means surrendering ownership. And while blockchain emerges as a solution, it’s much more complicated than that - hard forks, hacks, and even upgradable contracts have threatened ownership. 

Through XYO, we want your data to remain forever yours. Our tools like Foreventory have emphasized this future, and we plan to continually roll more through 2023 and into 2024.

Musk Turns On Starlink to Save Iranians from Regime’s Internet Crackdown

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a visionary behind SpaceX, has flipped the switch on Starlink, delivering internet to Iranians amid a brutal regime crackdown.

This move comes on the heels of Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, as the Islamic Republic cuts off online access.

The former Department of Government Efficiency chief activated Starlink satellite internet service for Iranians on Saturday following the Islamic Republic's decision to impose nationwide internet restrictions.

As the Jerusalem Post reports, that the Islamic Republic’s Communications Ministry announced the move, stating, "In view of the special conditions of the country, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet."

This action followed a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.

Starlink, a SpaceX-developed satellite constellation, provides high-speed internet to regions with limited connectivity, such as remote areas or conflict zones.

Elizabeth MacDonald, a Fox News contributor, highlighted its impact, noting, "Elon Musk turning on Starlink for Iran in 2022 was a game changer. Starlink connects directly to SpaceX satellites, bypassing Iran’s ground infrastructure. That means even during government-imposed shutdowns or censorship, users can still get online, and reportedly more than 100,000 inside Iran are doing that."

During the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests, Starlink enabled Iranians to communicate and share footage globally despite network blackouts," she added.

MacDonald also mentioned ongoing tests of "direct-to-cell" capabilities, which could allow smartphone connections without a dish, potentially expanding access and supporting free expression and protest coordination.

Musk confirmed the activation, noting on Saturday, "The beams are on."

This follows the regime’s internet shutdowns, which were triggered by Israeli military actions.

Adding to the tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people on Friday, urging resistance against the regime.

"Israel's fight is not against the Iranian people. Our fight is against the murderous Islamic regime that oppresses and impoverishes you,” he said.

Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last monarch, called on military and security forces to abandon the regime, accusing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a Persian-language social media post of forcing Iranians into an unwanted war.

Starlink has been a beacon in other crises. Beyond Iran, Musk has leveraged Starlink to assist people during natural disasters and conflicts.

In the wake of hurricanes and earthquakes, Starlink has provided critical internet access to affected communities, enabling emergency communications and coordination.

Similarly, during the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Musk activated Starlink to support Ukrainian forces and civilians, ensuring they could maintain contact and access vital information under dire circumstances.

The genius entrepreneur, is throwing a lifeline to the oppressed in Iran, and the libs can’t stand it.

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin praised Musk’s action, reposting a message stating that Starlink would "reconnect the Iranian people with the internet and put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime."

"God bless you, Elon. The Starlink beams are on in Iran!" Levin wrote.

Musk, who recently stepped down from leading the DOGE in the Trump administration, has apologized to President Trump for past criticisms, including his stance on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

GENIUS Act lets State banks conduct some business nationwide. Regulators object

The Senate passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins last week, but significant work remains before it becomes law. The House has a different bill, the STABLE Act, with notable differences that must be reconciled. State banking regulators have raised strong objections to a provision in the GENIUS Act that would allow state banks to operate nationwide without authorization from host states or a federal regulator.

The controversial clause permits a state bank with a regulated stablecoin subsidiary to provide money transmitter and custodial services in any other state. While host states can impose consumer protection laws, they cannot require the usual authorization and oversight typically needed for out-of-state banking operations.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors welcomed some changes in the GENIUS Act but remains adamantly opposed to this particular provision. In a statement, CSBS said:

“Critical changes must be made during House consideration of the legislation to prevent unintended consequences and further mitigate financial stability risks. CSBS remains concerned with the dramatic and unsupported expansion of the authority of uninsured banks to conduct money transmission or custody activities nationwide without the approval or oversight of host state supervisors (Sec. 16(d)).”

The National Conference of State Legislatures expressed similar concerns in early June, stating:

“We urge you to oppose Section 16(d) and support state authority to regulate financial services in a manner that reflects local conditions, priorities and risk tolerances. Preserving the dual banking system and respecting state autonomy is essential to the safety, soundness and diversity of our nation’s financial sector.”

Evolution of nationwide authorization

Section 16 addresses several issues beyond stablecoins, including preventing a recurrence of the SEC’s SAB 121, which forced crypto assets held in custody onto balance sheets. However, the nationwide authorization subsection was added after the legislation cleared the Senate Banking Committee, with two significant modifications since then.

Originally, the provision applied only to special bank charters like Wyoming’s Special Purpose Depository Institutions or Connecticut’s Innovation Banks. Examples include crypto-focused Custodia Bank and crypto exchange Kraken in Wyoming, plus traditional finance player Fnality US in Connecticut. Recently the scope was expanded to cover most state chartered banks with stablecoin subsidiaries, possibly due to concerns about competitive advantages.

Simultaneously, the clause was substantially tightened. The initial version allowed state chartered banks to provide money transmission and custody services nationwide for any type of asset, which would include cryptocurrencies. Now these activities can only be conducted by the stablecoin subsidiary, and while Section 16(d) doesn’t explicitly limit services to stablecoins, the GENIUS Act currently restricts issuers to stablecoin related activities.

However, the House STABLE Act takes a more permissive approach, allowing regulators to decide which non-stablecoin activities are permitted. If the House version prevails in reconciliation, it could result in a significant expansion of allowed nationwide banking activities beyond stablecoins.

Is it that bad?

As originally drafted, the clause seemed overly permissive.

The amended clause makes sense for stablecoin issuers. They want to have a single regulator and be able to provide the stablecoin services throughout the United States. But it also leans into the perception outside of crypto that this is just another form of regulatory arbitrage.

The controversy over Section 16(d) reflects concerns about creating a regulatory gap that allows banks to operate interstate without the oversight typically required from either federal or state authorities. As the two Congressional chambers work toward reconciliation, lawmakers must decide whether stablecoin legislation should include provisions that effectively reduce traditional banking oversight requirements.

Dubai regulator VARA classifies RWA issuance as licensed activity
Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) leads global regulatory framework - makes RWA issuance licensed activity in Dubai.

Real-world assets (RWAs) issuance is now licensed activity in Dubai.

~ Actual law.
~ Not a legal gray zone.
~ Not a whitepaper fantasy.

RWA issuance and listing on secondary markets is defined under binding crypto regulation.

It’s execution by Dubai.

Irina Heaver explained:

“RWA issuance is no longer theoretical. It’s now a regulatory reality.”

VARA defined:

- RWAs are classified as Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs)

- Secondary market trading is permitted under VARA license

- Issuers need capital, audits, and legal disclosures

- Regulated broker-dealers and exchanges can now onboard and trade them

This closes the gap that killed STOs in 2018.

No more tokenization without venues.
No more assets without liquidity.

UAE is doing what Switzerland, Singapore, and Europe still haven’t:

Creating enforceable frameworks for RWA tokenization that actually work.

Matthew White, CEO of VARA, said it perfectly:

“Tokenization will redefine global finance in 2025.”

He’s not exaggerating.

$500B+ market predicted next year.

And the UAE just gave it legal rails.

~Real estate.
~Private credit.
~Shariah-compliant products.

Everything is in play.

This is how you turn hype into infrastructure.

What Dubai is doing now is 3 years ahead of everyone else.

Founders, investors, ecosystem builders:

You want to build real-world assets onchain.

Don’t waste another year waiting for clarity.

Come to Dubai.

It’s already here.
