ARO Network startup has successfully completed its early stage funding round and raised $2.1 million in investments. Venture funds such as NoLimit Holdings and Dispersion Capital, as well as Maelstrom Fund and EV3 Ventures, took part in the pre-seed round. The main goal of the funding is to accelerate the development of a decentralized edge cloud architecture, which is focused on performing tasks related to artificial intelligence and fast delivery of digital content.
The project offers an alternative to traditional data centers, relying on the computing resources of users. Device owners can provide excess bandwidth, disk space, and processor power in exchange for a reward in ARO tokens. At the same time, the network already has more than 1.5 million nodes in its database, which confirms its stability and scalability.
The developers emphasize that ARO Network is designed to work in conditions where speed and minimal latency are important - such as distributed training of neural networks, real-time analytics and lag-free streaming. Local data processing improves performance compared to centralized solutions.
At the current stage, the platform operates in Previewnet mode. This is a closed testing stage, during which a limited number of users gain access to the main infrastructure. By the end of 2025, the company plans to launch an open Testnet, where participants will be able to earn intermediate tokens called Jades. These tokens can then be exchanged for full-fledged ARO after the launch of the Mainnet in 2026.
In 2026, the project also plans to expand the network of nodes and begin attracting the first clients. And already in 2027, ARO Network will open the ecosystem to third-party developers and implement a decentralized management model. Thus, the company positions itself as the base of future digital infrastructure that will be in demand in such industries as video streaming, gaming services and AI developments.
