Decentralized Cloud Platform AIOZ Network Targets Consumer AI Market and Web3 Infrastructure
AIOZ Network presented its vision for community powered internet infrastructure in an interview with BeInCrypto. Founder and CEO Erman Tjiputra described a system where regular users contribute home resources to power AI, streaming, and storage services.
The platform allows individuals with home WiFi, gaming PCs, or spare hard drives to join the network. Contributors can earn token rewards by providing bandwidth, compute power, and storage capacity. AIOZ Network operates as a blockchain agnostic system supporting both Cosmos and EVM chains.
The network already counts hundreds of thousands of devices in its global contributor base. AIOZ Network offers four main services: AI compute through AIOZ AI, S3 compatible storage via AIOZ Storage, streaming through AIOZ Stream, and IPFS pinning via AIOZ Pin. All services run on decentralized physical infrastructure networks known as DePIN.
Why Home Based Infrastructure Matters
The AIOZ Network model addresses growing demand for edge computing resources. Users access services closer to their physical location, reducing latency and improving performance. Content delivery happens through peer to peer connections rather than centralized data centers.
Creators benefit from transparent on chain payment systems. The platform supports multiple monetization methods including subscriptions, pay per view, tips, and ad supported content. Revenue sharing occurs on chain, giving creators direct control over their earnings.
The wallet free onboarding system allows casual users to access services without cryptocurrency knowledge. Developers gain access to open APIs and SDKs for building applications. The DePIN structure distributes infrastructure costs across thousands of contributors rather than requiring massive capital investment in data centers.
Broader DePIN Market Growth
The decentralized physical infrastructure sector reached $50 billion in market capitalization in early 2025, according to iExec. The sector comprises more than 350 tokens and doubled its market value over the past year. Messari projects DePIN will generate over $150 million in annualized sector revenue this year.
MapMetrics reports more than 13 million devices contribute to DePIN projects daily. The market is expected to surpass $32 billion by the end of 2025. Local governments are exploring DePIN solutions for infrastructure maintenance amid budget constraints.
Traditional cloud infrastructure faces challenges from rising AI compute demand. Decentralized networks offer alternative models that distribute costs and ownership. Projects span wireless connectivity, energy distribution, data storage, and compute resources.
Critics question whether community powered infrastructure can match enterprise grade reliability. Regulatory uncertainty remains a challenge for DePIN adoption. High initial deployment costs may limit participation in some regions. Scalability concerns persist as networks attempt to coordinate thousands of distributed nodes.
