Arweave has officially launched its computing platform AO after a year-long testing phase, aiming to expand decentralized application capabilities and provide flexible solutions for various uses.
Key Features of AO Platform
AO platform stands out by utilizing existing web infrastructure, including Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and HTTP Signed Messages, allowing it to extend its reach beyond traditional blockchain networks. Alongside the mainnet launch, a new AO token was introduced with a cap of 21 million, 36% allocated to AR holders, and the remaining 64% for economic incentives to drive platform adoption.
Supporting Next Generation Decentralized Applications
AO's developers expect the platform to support a new generation of decentralized applications, including on-chain autonomous agents focusing on AI coordination. The platform's architecture aims to provide a secure and scalable foundation for various use cases.
Enhanced Security and AI Integration
AO offers a flexible security model that includes execution within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), facilitating the development of secure decentralized exchanges, private voting systems, and confidential smart contracts. The Arweave platform ensures hardware-level security for private computations while maintaining high verifiability of results.
The launch of the AO platform marks an important milestone in Arweave's development, offering new opportunities for decentralized applications and enhancing security through integration of innovative technologies.
