Description
aZen is an AI-native infrastructure designed for AI-agents, computing nodes, and dAPPS. It features an in-built AI-native Protocol (aZen Protocol) which is powered by aZen's native DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network). The platform addresses the need for a decentralized, autonomous coordination layer in the era of Ubiquitous AI, aiming to ensure that AI-driven infrastructure operates efficiently, securely, and transparently. Focused on real-world AI applications, aZen provides a scalable computing layer that powers Web3 applications, AI, and data analytics. Its ecosystem integrates protocol-level AI coordination, commercial-grade hardware, and an application hub that bridges DePIN and DeFAI. aZen Hub is the gateway to the Web3 ecosystem, integrating with aZen DePIN and DeFAI. Users earn $aZen rewards as Proof of Contribution by sharing computing resources and engaging in DID-based social interactions. Through the aZen DePIN protocol, users can tokenize computing resources and applications. Rewards are distributed based on the quality, duration, availability, and utilization of rented resources by customers. Founded in 2010 as a research lab at the University of Auckland, evolving into a multi-million-dollar high-tech Web2 business and launching aZen Protocol as a Web2+Web3 spin-out.
