# AIOZ (AIOZ-USD) — Research Note (as of 2026-10-07)

## What AIOZ is

**AIOZ** is the native token of **AIOZ Network**, a blockchain-based **decentralized content delivery network (dCDN)** and **DePIN** (decentralized physical infrastructure network) that rewards operators who contribute bandwidth, storage, and compute for storing, transcoding, streaming, and—more recently—decentralized AI/super-intelligence compute. The "-USD" in AIOZ-USD is simply the USD quote pair.
