Global broadcast of OKZOO: Unveiling AIoT vision and 10-million-user community draws over 120,000 spectators
New and Improved: A Fresh Take on AIoT with OKZOO
Get a front-row seat to the future as Joseph Young, co-founder of the groundbreaking AIoT project OKZOO, joins Talking web3 for a live, in-depth chat about the innovative DePIN reshuffle!
On the evening of April 22nd, at 8 PM (UTC+8), Joseph Young teamed up with Talking web3's Potato for a captivating livestream titled "AIoT Escape: Boring DePIN, Building a Real-World Data Network that Matters." The event was broadcasted across seven major platforms, including Twitter's X, Binance Live, HTX, Hotcoin, TikTok, YouTube, and Telegram, gathering over 120,000 keen viewers and more than 100 global KOLs.
Free Your Mind: AIoT Lays the Foundation for a Better Tomorrow
Kicking off the chat, Joseph addressed the persistent challenges within the DePIN sector: uninspired designs, tedious user participation, and missing network sustainability. To conquer these hurdles, OKZOO's AIoT (AI + Decentralized IoT) concept aims to turn the tide by focusing on creating meaningful DePIN devices that contribute to the real world.
"At OKZOO, we ponder what impactful tasks DePIN devices ought to tackle and provide solutions for the real world," Joseph elaborated. "We started our journey by focusing on environmental data, as it holds immense global significance, yet remains under-explored, particularly in Asian regions with limited data collection and reporting."
The AIoT network employs micro-sensors embedded in the portable P-mini device to collect hyperlocal and household environmental data, such as air quality, noise levels, CO2 levels, humidity, and temperature. This plethora of data will form a large-scale, accurate, and unbiased real-world data network, empowering AI applications in areas like health management and disaster warning.
Embrace the Revolution: Play with Your P-Mini's AI Pet Companion
When blowing the dust off the DePIN user engagement issue, Joseph pointed out the pivotal role of P-mini's engaging AI pet application.
"Devices need to be fun if people are going to use them consistently," Joseph noted. "Merely mining AIoT isn't enough."
Users engage with the AI pet on the P-mini device's screen, partaking in activities like feeding and talking to their carefree companion. The pet's emotions and behaviors change dynamically based on real-time environmental data collected by the P-mini. If the environment is favorable, the pet appears happy; in poor environments, the pet may show signs of distress. Striving to take good care of their pet, users prioritize their environment and may even proactively seek out improved conditions or new locations to collect data.
This intriguing blend of emotional attachment, game-like nurturing, and data contribution tasks mimics the long-lasting popularity of pet apps like Tamagotchi, boosting user stickiness and sustainable data contribution. Plus, future OKZOO V3 updates will allow users to customize their unique pets using AI!
Building a Moat: OKZOO's Core Competitiveness and B2B Potential
Regarding the secretary of OKZOO's in-house hardware production, Joseph highlighted it as OKZOO's unique "moat." Comparing it to industry leaders such as Ledger and Trezor, he emphasized that reliable hardware manufacturing and swift delivery are crucial in winning user trust and ensuring scalability.
"Much like Ledger and Trezor, we boast the same exclusive manufacturing resources, enabling us to mass-produce hundreds of thousands—even millions—of devices and scale up capacity rapidly." Joseph stressed that this allows OKZOO to offer stable P-mini device supply during market demand surges and overcome hardware bottlenecks common in many DePIN projects.
In-house manufacturing delivers better quality assurance, rapid prototyping speeds, and cost benefits, providing strategic flexibility for OKZOO to introduce new device iterations, like P-mini o2, o3, smartwatches, and rings, and potentially partner with other AI or DePIN projects in the future.
Prepare for Takeoff: AIOT and P-NFTs Energize the Ecosystem
During the livestream, Joseph also elucidated the central roles of the AIOT token and P-NFTs in the ecosystem. As the native token for the AIoT machine network, AIOT serves a multitude of purposes, including incentivizing data contributions, staking, governance voting, V2 app pet upgrades, developer API calls, and supporting the creator economy. In contrast to typical platform tokens, AIOT comes with a diverse and native set of use cases, ensuring long-term ecosystem growth.
P-NFT (Physical NFT), on the other hand, represents physical AIoT assets on the blockchain and signifies membership in the OKZOO network, granting access to all future hardware models produced by OKZOO. P-NFTs are issued via a three-year daily auction (totaling 1000 units), guaranteeing their rarity and value. There are three primary ways to acquire P-mini hardware: early airdrops to top stakeholders, participating in P-NFT auctions to gain redemption rights, and future public purchases from distribution channels.
Upwards and Onwards: Market Response and Future Roadmap
The successful livestream, garnering over 120,000 views and the attention of 100 global KOLs, further establishes OKZOO's market presence. Its existing user base of nearly 12 million and successful collaborations with top platforms like OKX and Bybit catapult the project towards rapid development.
Joseph teased future plans, including the official launch of the environmental data network, the introduction of the P-mini o1 and o2 devices, and the rollout of the ground-breaking OKZOO V3 application. Stay tuned for the full roadmap announcement post-TGE!
