AO (Arweave) protocol
Overview
AO is a decentralized computing protocol built on the Arweave permanent data storage network. It uses an actor-oriented model to enable parallel, verifiable execution of any computation, with results stored on Arweave. It is designed to facilitate decentralized applications that require trustless computation.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, AO (Arweave) connects to 2 tracked entities, most strongly to Arweave, Gensyn.

Frequently asked questions
What is AO (Arweave)?
AO is a decentralized compute layer that runs on top of Arweave, allowing developers to execute arbitrary code with verifiable results stored permanently.
How does AO ensure the verifiability of computations?
AO uses a combination of on-chain message passing and cryptographic attestations to record each computation step, enabling independent verification of results.
How does AO relate to Arweave's storage?
AO leverages Arweave's permaweb as its underlying data layer, storing both program state and execution logs permanently, ensuring that all computation history is immutable and accessible.
What is AO (Arweave) connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, AO (Arweave) is linked to 2 other tracked entities, most strongly to Arweave, Gensyn.
