ao-computer is a decentralized operating system built on the Arweave network that enables developers and users to run autonomous, persistent applications directly on-chain. Unlike traditional blockchains that rely on static smart contracts, ao-computer introduces dynamic, stateful processes that behave more like independent software agents. It offers a trustless, permissionless execution environment that blurs the line between operating systems and blockchain protocols — ideal for building AI agents, complex logic apps, or decentralized backend systems.
ao-computer harnesses Web3 principles by combining verifiable computation, decentralized data permanence via Arweave, and event-based messaging into a scalable compute layer. It effectively transforms blockchain from a static storage protocol into a global computer capable of running responsive, autonomous apps indefinitely.
Traditional blockchains were not designed for long-running, stateful, or responsive computation. They face major limitations:
ao-computer was created to solve these problems. It allows for long-lived, modular processes that can persist, evolve, and interact — behaving more like independent computers than simple contracts. Its mission is to unlock a new class of dApps that go beyond finance: autonomous agents, responsive backend infrastructure, and compute-intensive decentralized services.
$AO is the native token that powers the ao-computer ecosystem. It serves several vital roles:

AO was introduced as Arweave’s compute layer.
Initial testing began for AO’s decentralized compute platform.
$AO tokens were launched for ecosystem use.
Partial mainnet rollout for production-grade compute tasks.
