While at BitGravity, to lessen billing confusion regarding the definition of a GigaByte, Lyon defined an accepted billing amount, coined as the BarretByte. Lyon left BitGravity in June 2009 and with initial funding from Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose, he founded 3Crowd. 3Crowd's first products provide businesses with greater control over existing Content Delivery Networks by allowing them to use CDN's based on factors like price and service. In 2012, Lyons 3crowd changed its name to XDN Inc. Lyon cited the reason for this as to "reflect the simplicity and elegance of our new federated network".
