AO Exclusive: The Decentralized Hyper Parallel Super Computer

Grant hosts Sam Williams, Founder of Arweave and AO, as they explore innovations in blockchain scalability, decentralized storage, and the evolution of Web3 applications.

AO The Computer is the latest development built on top of Arweave that allows any number of transactions to be processed in parallel. This throws up questions about the current sequential L1 ordering of transactions and the sequential vs parallel process debate on blockchains.

Many new blockchains like Monad, MegaETH, Solana and Sei all boast multi-thread processing. In this episode, Sam explains the shortcomings of multi-thread vs. hyperparallelization seen on AO.

This episode will also cover detailed tokenomics of AO and AR.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- Arweave’s Information Storage Network
- AO's Approach to Blockchain Limitations
- AO's Hyperparallel Model
- Potential applications of AO in AI, DeFi, and decentralized social media
