Arie Trouw, Co-Founder, CEO, and CTO of XYO, breaks down what actually changed in this infrastructure push: what was bottlenecking throughput before, what the DataLake SDK unlocks for builders working with real-world data, and why stability at the validator layer matters more than most people realize. We also get into where verifiable data infrastructure fits in the AI stack — why provenance becomes more valuable than the data itself as AI scales into robotics, logistics, and autonomous systems — and what XL1's economics look like as the network grows. You'll learn: What caused the throughput bottleneck before and what specifically changed to push past it What private and public DataLake support in the SDK unlocks for developers building on XYO today Why verifiable data infrastructure is a critical missing layer as AI moves into the physical world How the throughput upgrade changes XL1's utility and the…
