Arweave, AO, AI — Modular framework and flexible security
I think one of the greatest technical values of AO is that it separates the consensus mechanism from the computation required by the application.

A new world of horizontal scaling awaits us in AO, but none of this would be possible without the pair of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) projects that underpin AO.

Arweave AO breaks the shackles of blockchain. It does not deal with the calculation itself and the achievement of consensus. Instead, it uses economic models and lazy verification to ensure the correctness of the calculation results. It can be said that it has taken a different approach.
The concept of DeSci (decentralized science) was first proposed in 2018. Although it has not yet attracted widespread public attention, it is considered by Messari to be a new narrative that is about to explode.
There are two basic approaches to "parallelism": shared memory and message passing. AO's innovation lies in applying message passing to blockchains and smart contracts.
Since the hyper-parallel computer AO announced the launch of its test network on February 27, it has received great attention from the market.
Arweave is a new type of blockchain storage network designed to solve the problem of permanent data storage and access.
AO is actually an open and flexible data protocol for storing computational logs on Arweave's protocol. It is not a permanent ledger, nor is it a network per se.
What exactly is AO? What features gave its founders the confidence to compete with Ethereum?
