For most developers, blockchain still comes with a steep learning curve. Smart contracts, wallets, Solidity, node infrastructure, protocol documentation — the stack remains technical enough that building onchain products is still largely confined to a relatively small group of specialized engineers.
$XYO thinks that model is about to break.
The company, which launched one of the earliest Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) in 2018 and now claims more than 10 million nodes globally, has unveiled a new AI SDK designed to let developers build directly on $XYO Layer One using natural language and AI coding tools like Anthropic’s Claude or OpenAI Codex — without needing to write blockchain code or understand protocol internals.
The broader idea is straightforward: if “vibe coding” has already lowered the barrier to software development through AI-assisted coding, $XYO wants to do the same thing for blockchain infrastructure.
“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,” said Markus Levin. “We have removed that barrier.”
Making Blockchain Invisible to Developers
The launch reflects a larger shift happening across both AI and crypto. As AI coding tools become mainstream, the bottleneck is no longer generating software itself — it is connecting that software to systems that can transact, verify data, manage identity, and operate autonomously.
That is where blockchain becomes increasingly relevant.
AI agents, for example, can generate actions and make decisions, but they still lack core infrastructure most real-world applications require. An autonomous system cannot easily hold a bank account, prove its identity, manage permissions, or create tamper-proof audit trails using traditional infrastructure alone.
