AIOZ Network (AIOZ): tokenomics, risks and score
A decentralised content delivery and storage network, with node operators supplying bandwidth and storage for streaming and AI workloads.
What AIOZ Network is, and what it does
This is a DePIN network. It pays people to supply real physical infrastructure such as wireless coverage, sensors, storage or mapping, and sells the resulting service or data.
What the AIOZ token itself does: It can be staked to earn rewards, though a large part of those rewards is newly issued token rather than earned revenue.
Where it runs: AIOZ. Mechanism: Cosmos based proof of stake for content delivery. It has been running since 2021, so roughly 5 years.

How the score breaks down
Each dimension is explained on the directory page, and the reasoning behind it is taught in the Academy research process.
Supply and value capture
High ongoing issuance. New tokens are minted continuously and holders are diluted unless they participate. Holders can stake to earn rewards, though much of that reward is newly issued rather than earned revenue.
Changes go through token holder governance, so control is distributed but influenced by whoever holds most. Ownership is moderately concentrated. A handful of large holders could move the market.
Where it is strong and where it is not
- Audited, with published reports
- Fully open source, so the code can be independently reviewed
- Vesting is complete, so there is no scheduled supply overhang
- High ongoing issuance dilutes holders who do not actively participate
- Thin liquidity. Check order book depth before assuming you can exit
Incident history
No major exploit, collapse or regulatory action on record against this asset.
Our read
The main risk
Paying demand has not yet been shown to match the supply that token rewards attracted.
Before you buy anything
Check the contract address against the project's own documentation rather than a search result or a screener link, since impersonation tokens with identical names and logos are listed constantly. Check the order book depth before assuming you can exit at the quoted price. And write down what would make you wrong before you buy, not after. The Academy thesis module covers why that single habit protects more capital than any indicator.
