Key Points:
- After a year-long testnet phase, Arweave computing platform AO, a decentralized computing platform designed for scalability and security, was officially launched.
- AO introduces a native token with a 21 million cap, 36% allocated to AR holders and 64% for economic incentives, with previously distributed tokens now transferable.
Arweave, the decentralized storage project, has officially launched the mainnet version of its computing platform, AO, after a year-long testnet phase.

Arweave Computing Platform AO Launched on Mainnet After Year-Long Test Phase
The Arweave computing platform distinguishes itself by leveraging existing web infrastructure, including Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and HTTP Signed Messages, to expand its reach beyond traditional blockchain networks.
The mainnet launch also coincides with the introduction of AO’s native token, separate from Arweave’s AR token. The total supply of AO tokens is capped at 21 million, with 36% allocated to AR holders and the remaining 64% reserved for economic incentives to drive platform adoption. Tokens previously distributed to AR holders and testnet depositors will now become transferable.
According to its developers, AO is expected to support a new generation of decentralized applications, including on-chain autonomous agents focusing on AI coordination. The platform’s architecture aims to provide a secure and scalable foundation for various use cases.
Enhanced Security and AI Integration Power AO’s Ecosystem
AO is a flexible security model that includes execution within trusted execution environments (TEEs). TEEs facilitate the development of secure decentralized exchanges, private voting systems, and confidential smart contracts.
The Arweave computing platform ensures hardware-level security for private computations while maintaining high verifiability without the performance trade-offs associated with methods like Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) or Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).
