What Is AIOZ Network?

AIOZ Network (ticker AIOZ) is a decentralized physical infrastructure network, or DePIN, that turns the spare bandwidth, storage, and computing power of everyday devices into a global content delivery and computation layer. Instead of relying on centralized data centers, AIOZ distributes work such as video streaming, file storage, and AI inference across a worldwide swarm of community-run nodes, and pays those node operators in its native AIOZ coin.

The project was founded by Erman Tjiputra, a Singapore-based entrepreneur who serves as its CEO and initially self-funded its development. AIOZ started out as a decentralized content delivery network (CDN) for video and has since expanded into a broader infrastructure suite. The AIOZ token launched in April 2021 simultaneously as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain, and the project's own Layer 1 blockchain mainnet went live in December 2021. Since then, the native coin lives on the AIOZ chain, while the ERC-20 and BEP-20 versions continue to exist as wrapped tokens that can be bridged to and from the native chain.

Technically, the AIOZ blockchain is built with the Cosmos SDK and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), so developers can deploy Solidity smart contracts with familiar tools like MetaMask and web3.js. The chain uses Tendermint Core with a delegated proof-of-stake consensus design for fast, low-fee transactions, connects to other Cosmos chains through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), and links to Ethereum and BNB Chain through a Gravity Bridge.

On top of the blockchain sits the DePIN layer. Anyone can install the AIOZ node application on a computer and contribute resources to the network. Nodes cache and relay video content, store files, and execute AI compute tasks, earning AIOZ rewards in proportion to the work they perform. By late 2024 the network reported more than 200,000 devices running the AIOZ DePIN app.

This infrastructure powers several product lines. AIOZ Stream (originally W3Stream) provides video hosting, live streaming, and video-on-demand delivered through the distributed CDN. AIOZ Storage (originally W3S) offers S3-compatible decentralized object storage, and AIOZ Pin (originally W3IPFS) provides IPFS pinning for NFT and dApp data. AIOZ AI (originally W3AI) is a decentralized AI platform that splits machine-learning inference tasks across the node swarm, aiming to make AI compute cheaper and more accessible than centralized GPU clouds.

The AIOZ coin is used for staking and securing the chain, paying transaction fees, governance, and rewarding node operators. The token has no fixed maximum supply; instead it follows an inflation schedule that funds network rewards. Under the project's updated tokenomics, the inflation rate, which stood at 9 percent, decreases by one percentage point each year starting in December 2023 until it settles at 5 percent. Half of the newly issued coins go to validators and delegators, and the other half goes to the network treasury. Total supply was roughly 1.26 billion AIOZ as of mid-2026.

Getting Started With AIOZ Network

You can participate in AIOZ Network as a token holder, a delegator, or a node operator:

  1. Step 1: Set up a wallet. The official AIOZ web wallet supports the native chain, and MetaMask works for the EVM side and wrapped tokens.
  2. Step 2: Buy AIOZ on a centralized or decentralized exchange and withdraw it to your wallet.
  3. Step 3: Stake your AIOZ by delegating to a validator to help secure the chain and earn a share of inflation rewards.
  4. Step 4: Optionally, install the AIOZ DePIN node app on your computer to share bandwidth, storage, and compute power and earn AIOZ rewards.

How to Get an AIOZ Network Wallet?

AIOZ exists as a native coin on its own chain and as wrapped ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens, so your wallet choice depends on which form you hold.

AIOZ Web Wallet

The official web wallet at wallet.aioz.network supports the native AIOZ chain, including staking, delegation, and transfers, and is the most direct way to interact with the network.

MetaMask

Because the AIOZ chain is EVM-compatible, MetaMask can be connected to it directly, and it also holds the wrapped ERC-20 version of AIOZ on Ethereum and the BEP-20 version on BNB Chain.

Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet is a popular mobile wallet that supports the AIOZ token on its wrapped networks, convenient for holding AIOZ on a phone.

Hardware Wallets

For larger holdings, a Ledger device can be paired with MetaMask to keep the keys for wrapped AIOZ tokens offline.

How to Buy AIOZ Network?

AIOZ trades on both centralized and decentralized exchanges, in native and wrapped form.

Centralized Exchanges

AIOZ is listed on exchanges including Coinbase, KuCoin, Gate, HTX, Bybit, and Bitfinex, most commonly against USDT or USD.

Decentralized Exchanges

The wrapped versions of AIOZ can be traded on Uniswap (ERC-20 on Ethereum) and PancakeSwap (BEP-20 on BNB Chain), and the token is also available on Osmosis in the Cosmos ecosystem via IBC. Tokens bought on these venues can be bridged to the native AIOZ chain for staking.

Latest AIOZ Network News

AIOZ Network's recent momentum has come from the intersection of the DePIN and AI narratives. In 2024 the project shipped its decentralized storage products (W3S and W3IPFS, now AIOZ Storage and AIOZ Pin), published the W3AI vision paper for decentralized AI computation, and grew its node base past 200,000 devices. In May 2025 it launched AIOZ AI v1.0, bringing DePIN-powered AI inference to production, and the token picked up additional exchange listings, including Bitfinex.

The 2026 roadmap focuses on upgrades across AI, streaming, storage, and developer tooling. Because node counts, staking yields, and inflation parameters change over time, the official documentation, blog, and block explorer are the best sources for the current state of the network.
