AIOZ Stream Aims to Unlock Next-Level Rewards for Viewers and Creators

A new Web3 streaming protocol promises to give creators full ownership of their content—and a greater share of revenues.

AIOZ Stream is a decentralized protocol that aims to deliver a more open and equitable social media ecosystem, blending high-quality and low-latency streaming with fair and on‑chain monetization.

Based on the AIOZ Network, the platform blends shorter clips and longer-form videos in one place—and in a unique twist, content is distributed to users in a peer-to-peer environment through a global DePIN infrastructure.

“AIOZ Stream is about creating alignment end-to-end,” said Erman Tjiputra, Founder & CEO of AIOZ Network, in a statement shared with Decrypt. He added that it enables creators to “maintain ownership of their work,” while viewers can “support and participate in value creation.” Developers will benefit from AIOZ Stream’s “open media foundation,” while the DePIN community will receive rewards for delivering storage, bandwidth, and compute.

The AIOZ Network’s native token serves as a one-stop-shop for this platform, enabling consumers to take out microsubscriptions and tip their favorite stars, while enabling creators to receive payments without intermediaries. It’s also used to share rewards with members of the DePIN community providing AI compute, storage and bandwidth.

Built for creators and users

AIOZ Stream is aiming to provide viewers and advertisers alike with a fair deal, offering advertisers a dedicated platform that enables instant bidding on ad placement slots through real-time auctions denominated in the AIOZ token.

Viewers, meanwhile, can earn a slice of ad revenues through an optional Watch-to-Earn feature. AIOZ Stream takes a privacy‑by‑design approach, combining its decentralized on-chain platform with encrypted delivery to reduce user data collection.

To further growth, open SDKs and APIs are offered for developers, while a simple user experience and wallet-free onboarding makes it easier for casual viewers unfamiliar with Web3 to experience the benefits of AIOZ Stream for themselves.

The team behind this streaming protocol say they’re just getting started, with AIOZ Stream’s roadmap including support for audio and live broadcasts and token-metered, AI-powered speech‑to‑text, text‑to‑speech, tagging and search.

AIOZ says it’s on a mission to rebuild the foundation of the internet—and create a “more open, efficient, and equitable social media ecosystem.”
