AIOZ network (AIOZ) price prediction: dCDN the streaming future?
Decentralised digital content streaming platform AIOZ’s network token plunged over the past week as market excitement over its Mainnet launch on Christmas Day ebbed.
The AIOZ token price fell to $0.3535 on 6 January, down 25% from the $0.4709 at the beginning of the trading session on 1 January, data on cryptoassets price-tracking website CoinMarketCap showed.
The AIOZ coin price started rising on 25 December ahead of the Mainnet launch, which marked a key milestone in the blockchain’s development, signifying the live deployment of the network. Blockchain developments are often trialled on the Testnet environment to make sure the functions and features are tested without incurring transaction fees. Once the network migrates to the Mainnet, all activities and transactions incur fees.
Following the launch, the AIOZ coin value hit a peak at $0.5094 on 2 January before falling. The peak remained below the all-time high of $2.5084 on 3 April 2021, a day after the token’s launch. Could the price pass the all-time low of $0.1624 on 22 July 2021?

What is AIOZ network?
AIOZ network is a Singapore-based blockchain network focused on delivering decentralised digital content. It claims to be a decentralised content delivery network (dCDN), which distributes data among global, user-run nodes to deliver digital content. The aim of the geographically distributed node (servers) is to speed up the delivery of digital content by bringing it closer to the request source.
For example, when data is requested, it will be retrieved and transferred from the nearest node. This is in contrast with the traditional model, where data are retrieved from centralised private servers. This dCDN mechanism of AIOZ will “utilise the storage, bandwidth, and redundant memory capacity of community members to create a robust content streaming network.”
AIOZ network has claimed its dCDN is “a faster, more efficient and greener way to deliver media.”
The application of AIOZ network is through its digital content streaming site AIOZ Tube. According to AIOZ, the digital content delivery on its network “removes middlemen, redistributes control, and rewards the creators who produce content, the viewers who engage with it, and the users who run nodes via $AIOZ.”
The node operators are rewarded with the network currency of AIOZ coins, which can be used to pay for the app, network services and other items. Other ways of earning AIOZ coins are through staking (the validation of transactions on the network), content creation and viewers.
Early contributors to the AIOZ Network’s Testnet Nodes were rewarded with 1:1 conversion ratio. One Testnet AIOZ token rewarded would correspond to one Mainnet token.
According to AIOZ network data published on 26 December, it has over 36,000 nodes worldwide. Most of the operators are in Europe, accounting for 39% of the total sum or 14,000 nodes. There are 11,679 nodes in Asia and 7,500 nodes in South America.
AIOZ said its network has delivered “270,000 videos equivalent to 841 TB and a collective storage capacity of more than 110TB, over 18 million segments” between 1 March to 25 December 2021.
According to CoinMarketCap, AIOZ network has a supply cap of 1 billion coins and a circulating supply of 335.18 million coins. AIOZ Network market cap is $120.6 million.
The network revealed on Twitter that it will launch a cross-chain bridge on 8 January 2022, which will allow AIOZ token holders to convert the cryptocurrency on other blockchain networks.
Who is behind AIOZ?
The network’s founder and CEO is Erman Tjiputra. According to Tjiputra’s LinkedIn profile, he is based in Singapore and founded AIOZ network and the private limited company in 2013. He is also the founder of another private limited company in Singapore called Eastraits, but there is scarce information on this commercial entity. Besides the above two mentioned job positions, there is no other commercial experience listed on Tjiputra’s LinkedIn profile.
In an interview with Medium.com published on 23 March 2021, Tjiputra said he saw “a bright future in the world of decentralisation that would allow for the inception of concepts like peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) and blockchain technology, both of which are integral parts of the AIOZ Network”. He “self-funded the project completely” in the early stage of the AIOZ network development. The project has since received funding from incubation project MV Fuel, AIOZ said in February 2021.
Tjiputra said in March 2021 that the team members of AIOZ network are Hien Nguyen, head of blockchain, Trieu Nguyen, chief technology officer, Hung Nguyen, project manager, and Quang Tran, head of AI.
Only AIOZ’s head of AI Quang Tran’s profile is listed on the website, while there are no further details on the other team members.
