AIOZ Storage is the storage pillar of the AIOZ Network stack, sitting alongside AIOZ Stream, AIOZ AI, and AIOZ Pin on top of the same people‑powered DePIN. It is a contributor-driven S3-compatible object storage service running on the AIOZ Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN). AIOZ Storage AIOZ Storage As AIOZ Network founder Erman Tjiputra puts it, “Storage is the foundation of our network; AI and streaming are built on top of it. Without fast, reliable storage, nothing scales.” AIOZ Network AIOZ Network Turn Storage into a Peer-to-Peer Backbone AIOZ Storage operates on a DePIN powered by more than 300,000 contributor devices, supplying unused HDD/SSD capacity, bandwidth, and compute resources to the network Objects are encrypted and replicated across diverse nodes, removing single points of failure and softening the impact of outages. Hot content is kept close to users. Contributors provide capacity, builders store and serve data, and the network coordinates who holds what, all verifiable on-chain. Stay S3-Compatible, Move Your Buckets to DePIN AIOZ Storage speaks S3 out of the box. Existing tools, libraries, and workflows can connect to it through standard S3 APIs. That means teams can take a bucket-based architecture that already works and point it at a decentralized backend with minimal change. AIOZ Storage keeps the on-chain parts where they make sense: in settlement, incentives, and verifiability, while keeping migration simple. You keep your current SDKs. Your backup jobs, data pipelines, and CI workflows keep running. Only the endpoint and credentials change. Web3 stays behind the scenes, while your users see the same app, the same flows, and the same dashboards they are used to. Store Once, Deliver Everywhere with AIOZ DePIN Because AIOZ Storage runs on the same DePIN that powers AIOZ Stream’s decentralized content delivery, popular objects can be cached closer to users. When files land in AIOZ Storage, the network can cache popular objects closer to users through AIOZ DePIN. Smart routing steers requests to nearby nodes that already have the content. This reduces latency and keeps egress costs predictable, even when traffic spikes. This makes AIOZ Storage a strong fit for video catalogs, static websites, game assets, and AI datasets that get hit constantly. You store once on AIOZ Storage and let AIOZ DePIN handle delivery. Serve Static Websites Directly From the Storage Layer Static Website Hosting is planned to be released soon. Once available, you’ll be able to host docs, landing pages, status pages, or SPAs straight from a storage bucket. Upload your HTML, CSS, JS, and assets, enable hosting per bucket, and go live at https://<bucket>.aiozstorage.network with CDN-accelerated delivery, without managing servers or runtimes. https://<bucket>.aiozstorage.network You can configure index and error documents, toggle hosting on or off, and control access using Access Grants and sub-users, keeping deployments simple while staying secure at scale. Keep Data Sovereign, Encrypted, and Verifiably Durable Data sovereignty is baked into how AIOZ Storage works. Objects are encrypted before they leave the client. They are replicated across independent nodes, so hardware failures or regional issues do not take data down. Versioning and replication policies let teams define how aggressive they want durability to be. The on‑chain settlement layer and logging support auditability of storage behavior and usage over time. For Web3 and AI workloads, this means your training sets, model artifacts, and content libraries are not locked behind a single provider. AIOZ Storage’s encryption-by-default, least-privilege access, and verifiable storage behavior help teams move to DePIN without giving up security or oversight. Simple, Predictable Costs Backed by Real Network Activity Underneath the APIs, AIOZ Storage runs on a token-native economy. The AIOZ token is the unit for usage payments and for contributor rewards. Builders follow a clear pay-as-you-go model. They pay for storage, retrieval, and delivery, with pricing that can be inspected on-chain. On the other hand, node operators unlock potential for token rewards for providing capacity and serving content, with rewards aligned to real usage and performance. Because flows are transparent, finance teams can track how much a product or environment costs over time, and operators see how their storage, bandwidth, and uptime translate into rewards. What Comes Next as AIOZ Storage Expands Across the Network Archive and permanent storage tiers are being built for long-lived datasets and media libraries that need to stay safe for years, with economics designed for cold data instead of hot traffic. Seamless integrations are also on the roadmap, aimed at making migrations from existing clouds and file managers feel routine. There is also a push toward app-level experiences. As these pieces come online, AIOZ Storage grows into a distributed data plane for the whole ecosystem, a place where websites, archives, workflows, and applications all sit on the same people-powered backbone. Start Building on AIOZ Storage If you’re already running on S3, you can point an existing client or SDK at an AIOZ Storage endpoint and try a real workload, such as a backup job or a media catalog. You can also upload your web assets and files to a bucket and turn it into a live static site for docs, landing pages, or status pages, all served directly from the storage layer. AIOZ Storage AIOZ Storage And if you want to go deeper, you can join the DePIN as a node operator and help power the network that stores and delivers data for everyone else. Storage is live. Sites are live. The backbone is there to build on.
