DePIN-Powered AIOZ Network ‘Evolving a People‑Powered Internet’ – Decrypt

DePIN-fueled ecosystem AIOZ Network is “evolving a people-powered internet”—addressing key pain points while delivering infrastructure that’s designed for the artificial intelligence era.

“AIOZ Network empowers users to store, compute, and share data on their own terms,” Erman Tjiputra, Founder and CEO of AIOZ Network, told Decrypt. Anyone can contribute to the “people-powered, peer-to-peer DePIN network” using the AIOZ DePIN app, which enables devices to contribute resources such as storage space, processing power, and bandwidth.

AIOZ Network has established key strategic pillars to build a “community-powered infrastructure for the AI era,” Erman explained.

AIOZ Network’s three DePIN-powered pillars

Those three pillars, Distributed Storage, AI Compute, and Media Streaming, are delivered through a global network of DePIN-powered nodes.

Its AIOZ Storage product is a contributor-driven, S3-compatible object storage layer designed for both Web2 and Web3 applications. AIOZ Storage “enables high-performance, low-latency read/write operations,” Erman explained, adding that it provides a “cost-efficient alternative to centralized storage” for applications such as AI training datasets, dApp storage, and scalable application backends.

AIOZ Pin is a distributed IPFS pinning infrastructure built for immutable, content-addressed asset storage, optimized for non-fungible tokens, distributed identities, and digital archiving. Vast amounts of online content from the early 2010s have now vanished without a trace, but this product is geared toward long-term availability and tamper-resistant access.

Video has never been more popular online, with a constellation of apps now used to distribute footage. AIOZ Stream is a peer-to-peer infrastructure that aims to give creators “control, ownership, and monetization over their content,” Erman said.

From shorter clips to long-form films, and live broadcasts to video on demand, this product is designed to provide “scalable, cost-effective media delivery for Web3 platforms and independent creators,” Erman explained. Support also extends to audio content—including music publishing, live streams, and podcast hosting.

A new Web3 streaming protocol promises to give creators full ownership of their content—and a greater share of revenues.
AIOZ Stream is a decentralized protocol that aims to deliver a more open and equitable social media ecosystem, blending high-quality and low-latency streaming with fair and on‑chain monetization.
Based on the AIOZ Network, the platform blends shorter clips and longer-form videos in one place—and in a unique twist, content is distributed to users in a peer-to-peer environment t…

With artificial intelligence making inroads in both enterprise and consumer applications, AIOZ Network has developed AIOZ AI, a distributed compute platform and AI marketplace that enables developers to “deploy, monetize, and access AI models and datasets.”

AIOZ AI “transforms AI infrastructure into an open, community-driven economy,” bridging the gap between AI and blockchain by delivering on-chain monetization. It paves the way for AI assets and dapps to be tokenized, Erman explained, forming a vital component in the ecosystem’s vision to ensure next-gen infrastructure is open and community-driven, rather than hidden behind closed doors.

Powering Web3 through DePIN

Underpinning all of these elements is DePIN, with over 300,000 devices forming the backbone for compute, storage, pinning and streaming. This forms a “scalable, distributed backbone for storage, AI compute, and content delivery,” with contributors unlocking the potential for token rewards for the value they add to the ecosystem.

AIOZ Network supports Cosmos, the Ethereum Virtual Machine and a plethora of multi-chain integrations, bringing together AI, blockchain, and distributed computing for “scalable AI inferencing and monetization,” Erman said.

“What sets AIOZ Network apart is its seamless integration of blockchain technology, AI capabilities, and media infrastructure,” Erman added, noting that they combine to provide “scalable, secure, verifiable, resilient, and fault‑tolerant digital services.”
