This article mainly introduces the financial paradigm of integrating AI agents on AO: Agent-Fi.

This article interprets how AO builds a decentralized computing network suitable for #AI Agent from the aspects of network architecture and characteristics.

Due to the fact that the mainnet of Quilibrium has not yet been released and there is currently limited public information, the descriptions in this article regarding the incentive mechanism, economic model, financing history, roadmap, etc., are based solely on the current point in time, and the actual situation may change in the future. This article is primarily written for research and popular science purposes and should not be used as investment advice. Criticism and discussion from peers are also welcome.

The first principle of blockchain is a decentralized accounting method, and "blocks" and "chains" are not necessary.

In 2024, OpenAI will release the Sora video large model, taking AI development to new heights! In 2024, Arweave will launch the ultra AO parallel computer, bringing AI large models to the blockchain! What will AO bring to AI? Can it become the number one player in the AI era?

AO is an extension of the Storage-based Consensus Paradigm (SCP). Due to Arweave's high data capacity, DApp platforms based on AO and SCP architecture can significantly reduce data publishing and storage costs, making it easier to support scenarios with strong throughput demands.

PADO and AO will join forces to lead and achieve verifiable confidential computing, fundamentally transforming the confidentiality and integrity of blockchain applications through zkFHE technology.

This article is a translation of the "Protocol Specification of AO Computer" by PermaDAO, which answers the questions of what AO is, and provides an overview of its core functions and architecture, directly assisting those who want to understand the hyper-parallel computer AO.

AO is built on Arweave, and this combination of infinite computing and storage can support large-scale, high-performance AI models, enabling full on-chain applications. The AO official predicted on media platforms that the deployment of AI applications on AO is the moment when AgentFi (AI Agent Finance) will rise.

The Arweave team recently launched a new product - the super parallel computer AO. Compared to its competitors Filecoin and ICP, AO has a smaller market capitalization, more frequent product updates, and a more efficient and scalable architecture design. Given the backdrop of a bull market, significant events such as the future launch of the AO mainnet, new coin releases, and new product launches are highly anticipated.

The AO protocol recently proposed by Arweave achieves ultra-high performance computing on storage public chains, even reaching a near-Web2 experience. This seems to have a huge difference from the scaling methods and architectural designs we are currently familiar with. So what exactly is AO? What is the logic that supports its performance?

The super parallel computer AO was launched 35 days ago, attracting over 3,000 developers to join its development, driving the price of AR to rise nearly 13 times against the trend! Since then, some have likened Arweave to an Ethereum killer, while others define it as the computing layer for AI. Could Arweave AO potentially change the direction of the future crypto world?

After nearly two years of planning, Arweave is shifting to a Web3 full-stack protocol.
