AO is a new protocol built on Arweave’s permanent data storage layer, that enables parallel application running through a decentralized computational model. It will also enable AI applications to run on-chain, enabling large language models (LLMs) to run within smart contracts.


The success and significant inflows for the AO (AO) token are attributed to the industry’s hunger for new technological solutions, according to Sam Williams, the founder of Arweave.


Williams told Cointelegraph:“The launch of AO has generated a huge amount of building, usage, and excitement. This has been reflected in the rapid growth of the network"s TVL. The industry is ready for something new -- both in terms of tech and the economics of blockchain networks -- and that is exactly what AO provides.”

Beyond introducing an innovative parallel computing strategy, the token’s ‘fair launch’ model was another part of its success.

The AO token’s fair launch is an effort to return to crypto’s original ethos of fair and equal access, according to Arweave’s Williams. He wrote:“AO"s technology solves many of the core issues that have held crypto back from mass adoption, so we built economics to match that, too. Fair, equal access for all.
