In 2026,
As AI moves from research into everyday products, the real bottleneck is no longer just compute, but data; how it is stored, accessed, versioned, and delivered at global scale for models, agents, and media. This makes people‑powered storage and data delivery the center of gravity of the AI era, with streaming and compute acting as accelerators on top of a resilient data layer.
Accessibility as AIOZ Network’s 2026 north star
AIOZ Network’s direction is clear: DePIN Powering Web3. For 2026, the focus is on making AIOZ Network more accessible to everyone. This means clearer entry points into the ecosystem, better user experience across products and tools, and a connected journey across infrastructure and applications.
That accessibility will be built on the four product pillars of AIOZ Network:
- AIOZ AI (Everything Intelligence): a compute economy and AI marketplace for inference, agents, models, datasets, and challenges.
- AIOZ Stream (Everything Content): a P2P content delivery network for on-demand video and audio, and live streaming.
- AIOZ Storage (Everything Data): Web3 S3-style storage built for apps, media, and large datasets.
- AIOZ Pin (Everything IPFS): decentralized pinning for immutable, versioned, content-addressable data.
2026 for AIOZ Network is about completing the stack. These four pillars will drive everyday user actions on AIOZ Network, evolving the network from a pure infrastructure ecosystem into a complete AI-native, user-friendly media and data ecosystem.
“Infrastructure must be powerful and AI-ready, but the real goal is to enable products. Users fall in love with experiences, not with APIs. By 2026, anyone should be able to plug into AIOZ Network in minutes and feel the value of a people-powered internet,” said Erman Tjiputra, Founder of AIOZ Network.
Making AIOZ Network accessible through “front doors”
Accessibility scales when people enter through familiar actions. So AIOZ Network is shaping front doors: user-facing experiences built directly on AIOZ Storage, AIOZ Pin, AIOZ Stream, and AIOZ AI, designed to keep the journey simple.
These will include:
- A media-first experience that brings short-form and long-form video, livestreaming, audio, images, and social interaction into one place, with creator earning options designed into the experience.
- An AI native monetization layer that helps creators and partners plan and optimize campaigns, and connects value creation to content and participation.
- An AI browser interface that becomes a daily access point to content, data, and AI agents across AIOZ Network, supporting search, exploration, and action.
“If people already understand streaming, chat, and browsing, that’s where we should meet them, then quietly plug AIOZ Network underneath,” said Erman Tjiputra.
Making the entire AIOZ Network more connected
In 2026, AIOZ Network brings its pillars into a single connected fabric so users and developers experience a unified ecosystem. AIOZ Storage and AIOZ Pin form the shared data and permanence layer for media, datasets, and metadata. AIOZ Stream delivers video and audio across experiences. AIOZ AI adds reusable intelligence for discovery, ranking, analytics, and agents that work across the ecosystem.
As these pillars connect through consistent service patterns, users can move from consuming to creating to running agents within a single ecosystem.
Accessibility tied to participation: Be the Network
Accessibility on AIOZ Network grows as more people participate in its DePIN, with community nodes contributing storage, bandwidth, and compute capacity to deliver content and AI services where users live. The result is a “CDN in every household” effect that expands geographic coverage and resilience for streaming and inference across regions.
Anyone can use AIOZ Network to watch, listen, and browse, and also power it by running nodes that store segments, transcode media, and execute AI inference, unlocking the potential for token rewards. “If people can power it, store it, and stream it from their own devices, why not. That is the real vision of a people-powered internet,” said Erman Tjiputra.
Accessibility for developers: Let’s Build Together
Developer accessibility starts with familiar building blocks and clean integration points. And AIOZ Network provides that with Web2-friendly tools, simple APIs and SDKs, and detailed documentation.
In 2026, this will extend to developer-friendly analytics and search endpoints that can be plugged into apps and agents; AI-focused developer funnels; and no-code toolsets, enabling developers and non-developers to spin up AIOZ‑powered micro‑apps or agents with auto‑generated UI, workflows, simple contracts, and data storage.
Building on AIOZ Network in 2026 will feel like assembling Lego pieces (storage, pinning, streaming, AI, payments), not like rebuilding a protocol from scratch.
Turning the vision into reality
AIOZ Network has spent years building the foundation for a people-powered internet with a network of over 300,000 contributor devices and production-ready infrastructure for AI, streaming, and storage.
In 2026, that foundation will power everyday products that make Web3 and AI feel usable, ownable, and shareable for anyone who chooses to participate.
