In response to widespread online content loss, AIOZ Pin offers a distributed IPFS data layer that lets anyone run a community storage node to preserve files and metadata. A 2024 study found 38% of webpages from 2013 are no longer accessible (Ed. note: this stat highlights digital decay).
AIOZ Pin replicates files into multiple independent copies, chunking them and addressing content with CIDs. Nodes provide cryptographic proofs, and the network estimates over 300,000 contributor devices in 198 countries.
Replication lowers latency and lets other network segments pick up traffic during outages. Founder Erman Tjiputra said “Instead of treating persistence as an afterthought, AIOZ Pin makes permanence, verifiability, and cost efficiency part of the infrastructure.”
Use cases include preserving NFT artwork and metadata, archiving governance records, and storing AI agent memory and execution logs. He also said “The DePIN base ensures no single operator can quietly unhost or alter the data.”
The project offers SDKs and APIs to speed developer integration and reduce engineering overhead. Founder Erman Tjiputra said “If Web3 is going to live up to its promise, the data behind it has to stay online,” and the platform, part of the AIOZ Network, aims to help developers make that permanence part of their architecture.
