As many of you reflect on the last 12 crazy months, you may be asking the most critical and important questions of the entire year:

What were the best things that happened in 2018?

What could I have done differently, to make things even better?

Did HBO really expect me to wait until April 2019 for the next season of Game of Thrones to start? (spoiler alert: yes. And you’ll be waiting a̶n̶g̶r̶i̶l̶y̶ patiently)

And as the gears keep grinding at Super Secret XYO Hacker Headquarters during this end-of-the-year break, we’ve collectively asked ourselves some of the same questions (even the Game of Thrones one).

Truth be told, this year has been epic for us. Smart contracts executed by drones. Announced satellite launches. Networks going live. Entering token exchanges.

But do you know the best way to show a bunch of cool stuff in a short amount of time, without getting too explain-y?

Numbers.

We’ve gathered figures and stats to show you some of the coolest XYO happenings in the last year, and condensed everything down to a one-minute video. Keep reading to see the stats, or spend exactly one minute watching this numberific motion graphic:
