Details
ao is a scalable blockchain network built on the Arweave data storage platform. ao is designed to offer an environment in which an arbitrary number of paralell processes can be resident, coordinating through an open message passing layer. Unlike existing decentralized compute systems, is capable of supporting the operation of computation without protocol-enforced limitations on size and form, while also maintaining the verifiability (and thus, trust minimization) of the network itself. Further, 's distributed and modular architecture allows existing smart contract platforms to easily 'plug in' to the network, acting as a single process which can send and recieve messages from any other process.
