We are thrilled to announce that later this year XO will be moving to Solana, powered by MagicBlock’s Ephemeral Rollups. This will bring faster performance, lower costs, and safer, more seamless social matching to one of Web3’s most dynamic consumer apps.
Why This Match Matters
XO App is not your typical social platform. It’s a fast-growing, AI-powered space where people connect through shared interests, emotions, and vibes. With more than 1.5 million downloads and daily engagement metrics that rival those of the world's biggest social dapps, XO is quietly becoming a category-defining product.
But creating a truly trusted network means handling identity with care. And scaling that experience for millions of users, on-chain, is no small task.
This is where MagicBlock comes in.
What Made XO Swipe Right on MagicBlock
XO always believed that on-chain identity could, and should, feel just as smooth as using a Web2 app: instant matching, verified users, and a genuinely fun experience.
But the tech just wasn’t there.
Every attempt ran into blockers: either the tech couldn’t scale to support onchain social, or it couldn’t manage sensitive data without exposing it onchain.
XO operates on verified credentials, including World ID, SMS verification, and behavioral scoring. These signals help build a safe and credible matching environment. But handling that kind of logic onchain is a significant bottleneck. High gas fees. Poor UX. Unpredictable throughput.
By migrating to Solana and integrating Ephemeral Rollups, XO will be able to process high-frequency interactions with ultra-low latency and minimal cost. That includes everything from verifying new users to updating behavioral streaks and match histories, instantly and reliably.
For the first time, XO will offer Web3-native identity with a Web2-level user experience.
What MagicBlock Unlocks Behind the Scenes
XO is integrating Ephemeral Rollups to migrate its credential system to Solana. This will provide them with the flexibility of custom rollup logic, backed by the performance and speed of Solana.
With this move, XO can:
- Validate and update credentials in real time
- Build a live, portable social reputation layer
- Cut infrastructure costs dramatically
- Deliver real-time, low-latency UX for every user interaction
Ephemeral Rollups are purpose-built for high-frequency, session-based apps like XO. They don’t just reduce cost, they unlock entirely new interaction patterns for social, identity, and trust.
Building Trust Through Better Infra
XO is building something powerful: a social platform where identity is earned, not assumed. From AI agents like ROO and XO’s behavioral streaks, to verified credentials and match history, everything feeds into a growing, trustworthy identity graph.
Now, with this new partnership, that graph can reside on-chain: securely, privately, and in real-time.
XO App + MagicBlock: Real identity and real-time performance. Built for what comes next.
