What is AIOZ Network? How It Works & Where to Use It

Overview

AIOZ Network at a glance.

AIOZ Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK that powers a decentralized physical infrastructure network for media, storage, and AI. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

How it works

How AIOZ Network works.

AIOZ Network is built on the Cosmos SDK and uses the Tendermint Core consensus engine with a delegated proof-of-stake model. Validators are backed by delegators who stake AIOZ, and blocks are produced roughly every one to three seconds with fast finality. Stakers help secure the chain and earn rewards funded in part by network inflation.

Consensus: Delegated Proof of Stake (Tendermint)

AIOZ Network is built on the Cosmos SDK and uses the Tendermint Core consensus engine with a delegated proof-of-stake model.

DePIN infrastructure

AIOZ rewards operators who contribute hardware resources such as bandwidth, storage, and compute to a shared physical infrastructure network.

Web3 media

The network is oriented toward content delivery, streaming, and decentralized storage for media applications.

Cosmos and EVM

Built with the Cosmos SDK, AIOZ also offers EVM compatibility so Solidity contracts can deploy alongside Cosmos-native modules.

AIOZ token

AIOZ is the native asset used to pay fees, stake for security, and reward the operators who run network hardware.

Ecosystem & usage

What AIOZ Network is used for.

AIOZ supports media delivery, decentralized storage, and AI services across its DePIN node network.

Content delivery

Node operators serve video and media files and earn AIOZ for the bandwidth they provide.

Decentralized storage

Files are stored across the network, with the chain coordinating and rewarding storage providers.

Staking

Holders delegate AIOZ to validators to help secure the network and earn staking rewards.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is AIOZ Network?

AIOZ Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. It powers a decentralized physical infrastructure network, or DePIN, for Web3 media, storage, streaming, and AI services.

What is the AIOZ token used for?

AIOZ is the native token. It pays transaction fees, is staked to secure the network, and rewards operators who contribute hardware such as bandwidth and storage.

What consensus does AIOZ use?

AIOZ uses a delegated proof-of-stake model on the Tendermint Core consensus engine, the same foundation used across the Cosmos ecosystem.

Is AIOZ compatible with Ethereum tools?

Yes. Alongside its Cosmos SDK modules, AIOZ offers EVM compatibility, so Solidity smart contracts and Ethereum tooling can be used.

Can I hold AIOZ in the Zypto App?

Not yet. AIOZ isn't in Zypto App at the moment. You can hold it in any self-custodial wallet, and you can ask us to add AIOZ Network using the "Request AIOZ Network" button above.
