AIOZ Stream: Launch Creator‑Owned, On‑Chain VOD with Built‑In Monetization

AIOZ Stream: Launch Creator‑Owned, On‑Chain VOD with Built‑In Monetization

Last week, AIOZ Network introduced AIOZ Stream, a decentralized streaming protocol that lets creators keep ownership, developers build on an open media layer, viewers participate in value creation, and DePIN contributors earn for powering the network. The result is a transparent, community‑governed media economy that delivers high‑quality, low‑latency streaming with fair, accountable monetization.

“AIOZ Stream is about creating alignment end‑to‑end,” says Erman Tjiputra, Founder & CEO of AIOZ Network. “It enables creators to maintain ownership of their work, allows viewers to support and participate in value creation, provides developers an open media foundation to build on, and ensures the DePIN community is rewarded for delivering storage, bandwidth, and compute.”

Start Fast: Ship VOD with a Strong Foundation

AIOZ Stream v1 focuses on video-on-demand across short-form and long-form formats. Ingest content, transcode to adaptive profiles, and ship a polished playback experience through a configurable player with UI/UX customization and integrations.

With v1, creators and developers can:

• Ingest → transcode → distribute via peer-to-peer delivery.
• Deliver smooth playback using adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming.
• Integrate easily with apps and platforms via open SDKs & APIs.
• Prepay for usage (storage, bandwidth, transcoding) via the AIOZ token.

Wallet‑optional onboarding makes Web3 unobtrusive for casual viewers; proofs and wallet features are there when you want them.

Peer‑to‑Peer at the Edge with DePIN

AIOZ Stream runs on the AIOZ Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), a globally distributed mesh of storage, bandwidth, and compute. Content is ingested and transcoded, then delivered peer‑to‑peer using data sharding and redundancy for fault tolerance and consistency during traffic surges.

Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) algorithms are tuned for real‑world networks to preserve QoE, while the neighbor‑to‑neighbor topology brings delivery close to audiences, improving performance in both dense and underserved regions. Playback integrity is verifiable, enabling partners to prove delivery.

Making Revenue Splits Transparent and On‑Chain

The AIOZ token powers payments, rewards, and staking across the ecosystem. The Payment Router allocates subscription revenue to a Developer Pool, while the Ads Platform settles real‑time auctions denominated in AIOZ, splitting proceeds between the Developer Pool and an optional Watch‑to‑Earn (W2E) Pool. 

The Tip Router directs 100% of viewer tips to creators. Every flow is auditable on‑chain, replacing opaque accounting with clear, programmatic distribution.

Build Quickly: Use Open SDKs, APIs, and Webhooks

Integrate AIOZ Stream into apps and platforms using open SDKs/APIs and webhook events. Configure the player, wire in analytics, and connect your existing identity, commerce, and moderation tools. 

Because Web3 is optional by design, you can serve mainstream users immediately and turn on wallet‑gated features, token rewards, or creator staking as your roadmap evolves.

Optimizing Ad Yield: Activate Auctions and Bandit‑Driven Placement

For AVOD, the AIOZ Ads Platform conducts real‑time auctions in AIOZ. Multi‑Armed Bandit policies continuously optimize yield per impression by exploring formats and placements while exploiting what works. 

Publishers can share a configurable portion of ad revenue with viewers through W2E to deepen engagement, without sacrificing sustainability or clarity in how value flows.

Plug Into Storage, Pinning, and AI

AIOZ Stream is one of the pillars of AIOZ Network’s AI‑first infrastructure, and, like every product in the stack, it runs end‑to‑end on AIOZ DePIN, the community‑contributed network that supplies storage, bandwidth, and compute with usage metered and settled in AIOZ.

• AIOZ Storage: S3‑compatible, contributor‑powered object storage for high‑performance reads/writes, ideal for creator libraries and AI training sets, with capacity provided by distributed operators and rewarded on‑chain.
• AIOZ Pin: IPFS pinning for immutable assets (NFTs, contracts, archives), ensuring long‑term availability through a distributed, verifiable pinning layer.
• AIOZ AI: Decentralized compute for model deployment, inference, and training, enabling edge‑AI services like speech‑to‑text, text‑to‑speech, tagging, and search, all token‑metered on DePIN.

Because every component shares the same DePIN backbone, you get programmable streaming, storage, and compute placed closer to users, aligned with contributor incentives, and ready for cross‑chain integrations.

Put Privacy and Control First

AIOZ Stream applies privacy‑by‑design principles: reduced data collection, encrypted delivery paths, and user control aligned with emerging regulatory standards. Because the protocol is creator‑owned, catalogs, rights, and monetization stay with you and remain portable across surfaces and applications.

Map AIOZ Stream to Your Roadmap

Whether you’re scaling a creator business, launching a platform or DAO, or shipping media‑centric apps, AIOZ Stream fits in fast. 

Creators can consolidate SVOD, TVOD, and AVOD in one place, preserving ownership while keeping every split transparent on‑chain. 

Platforms and media startups gain predictable economics and consistent QoE via DePIN‑powered edge delivery. 

Developers move faster with open SDKs/APIs and wallet‑optional UX, while analytics, webhooks, and on‑chain proofs provide clear operational visibility. 

And for DePIN operators, contributing storage, bandwidth, and compute translates directly into transparent, on‑chain rewards.
