Overview

AIOZ DePIN devices are computers that run the AIOZ DePIN software (GUI Desktop or CLI). They contribute spare storage, bandwidth, and compute to the AIOZ Network, and contributors may receive AIOZ token rewards based on verified work and uptime.

Today, edge computing helps AI, big data, and video streaming by processing and delivering data closer to end users. AIOZ Network applies this approach by distributing resources across community-run devices, improving performance at the edge without relying solely on centralized infrastructure.

The Potential of Edge Computing

Edge computing processes data closer to where it is generated, which reduces latency and improves real-time responsiveness. This is especially important for AI and data-intensive workloads that require fast analysis and quick decision-making.

It also improves streaming performance by serving content closer to viewers. In addition, edge computing can reduce costs by minimizing data transfer to centralized cloud regions and using distributed capacity more efficiently. As demand grows for AI training and inference, edge-based resources will continue to play an important role in scaling these workloads.

AIOZ DePIN applies these edge principles by letting community-run devices contribute storage, compute, and bandwidth to support AIOZ services closer to end users.

Hardware Contributions to The AIOZ Network

AIOZ DePIN participants contribute different types of hardware resources that strengthen the AIOZ Network:

• Storage: High-capacity disk space stores large volumes of data and helps deliver content quickly and reliably.

• Compute: CPU/GPU resources support software operations and approved workloads such as transcoding and AI-related tasks.

• Network Bandwidth: Available network throughput helps reduce latency and delivery costs across regions, improving overall network performance.

Participation in AIOZ Network

AIOZ DePIN Desktop (GUI) is ideal for beginners. It provides a user-friendly interface for joining and contributing resources with minimal setup.

AIOZ DePIN CLI is suited for advanced users who want more control and often deploy in server or cloud environments for larger-scale resource contribution.
