AIOZ Network is quietly building real stuff while others just talk

So I’ve been following AIOZ Network for a while now, and honestly, the second half of 2025 has been wild for them.

While everyone’s chasing memecoins, these guys are actually building real infrastructure behind the scenes.

Remember AIOZ Stream went live (Sept 2025) – this is huge.

It’s basically a decentralized version of YouTube or Twitch, but powered by their DePIN system (means it runs on community nodes instead of central servers).

Some cool stuff:

– Works for live & on-demand streaming

– Has built-in transcoding (no need for YouTube compression drama)

– Supports OBS

– Creators can earn directly

– No single point of failure

They’ve got over 300k+ community nodes running it now. That’s crazy.

Hardfork v1.7.1 (July 2025) – Not flashy, but important.

It made the chain faster, more stable, and ready for bigger DePIN operations. Basically, smoother performance and quicker transactions.

They also started doing AI challenges this year.

First one was about Face Anti-Spoofing (detecting fake faces).

Got 56 participants and 350+ submissions in the first month.

That’s not just some weekend hackathon. They’re building a whole system where AI models, datasets, and compute power are shared and traded.

Future plans include:

– AI agents that can answer questions and do tasks automatically

– Generative AI and LLMs powered by DePIN

– On-chain monetization through AIOZ DEX

AIOZ got listed on Kraken in July (AIOZ/USD and AIOZ/EUR).

That’s a big step for liquidity and trust. Not just another random listing. I know you remember that. I was a big one.

Real-world use cases are popping up too:

– HiloT using AIOZ Storage for IoT data

– SpaceAgri storing agricultural data for their space farming platform

The roadmap for the rest of 2025 is packed:

AIOZ DePIN v5 – better automation, resource allocation, and a leaderboard for node operators

Upgraded Services:

– AIOZ AI – full marketplace for AI models/datasets

– AIOZ Stream – even lower latency + AI subtitles

– AIOZ Storage – custom domains + static hosting

– AIOZ Pin – image optimization

Ecosystem Expansion:

– One account for all AIOZ apps

– Multi-chain payment support (ETH, BNB, AIOZ)

– AIOZ Wallet (browser + mobile)

– AIOZ DEX upgrades (limit orders, better UI)

New dApps:

– AIOZ Ads (decentralized ad network)

– AIOZ Engage (social gamification)

– AIOZ Vault integration with Stream + AI

They’re tackling 3 huge Web3 problems at once:

– Storage – alternative to AWS S3

– Streaming – peer-to-peer media delivery

– AI Compute – distributed infrastructure for AI

And people can actually earn from it by running nodes (bandwidth, storage, compute). So it’s not just about holding tokens.

In May, they partnered with Neo Network, showing they’re not trying to go solo — they want to build with other L1s and make everything work together. This was also another big deal.

AIOZ isn’t loud, but they’re consistent.

While other projects chase trends, they’re shipping real things that actually work.

If they keep this pace, 2026 could be huge. They’re already teasing AIOZ Wallet v3, DEX v2, and fully automated AI agents.

But you don’t have to believe me, I just did a summary of all their achievements in the second half of 2025 alone. What happened before that was even extra-ordinary.
