The Launch of The Open Application Network - Aion

The Aion Network has rebranded as The Open Application Network (OAN), separating the technology being built and the underlying asset powering the network. Aion ($AION) will remain the asset that powers the OAN. According to the company's announcement:

The Open Application Network solves the unintended consequences of platform economies. The OAN is an open source public infrastructure for the creation and hosting of Open Apps. Open Apps are programs that put users back in control and are universally accessible across platforms. Using Open Apps, developers can hook into existing platforms like Uber, Shopify, Twitch, etc. and create new breakthrough experiences. The OAN is built on open standards and is owned by everyone that uses it. The OAN is a public infrastructure that creates a new design space for Open Applications. As a public system, a global community of individuals, software companies, and institutions secure and maintain the operations of the network. The critical functions are enabled and incentivized through Aion. The usage of the network is metered and paid in Aion, compensating those contributing to its operations.
