$ARIO is the token for the decentralized gateway project @ar_io_network.
👁 Let’s start with a quick overview of the project:
🤔 What is a gateway? It’s an internet tech term that generally refers to a system acting as a connection or conversion point between different networks or layers, like a “bridge” or “gate.”
🤔What does connect as a “bridge” or “gate”? The answer is: connecting #Arweave and users.
Arweave’s core is permanent storage, where data is replicated and stored by miners. However, miner nodes don’t directly provide data access services to users or apps.
If a user needs to retrieve data from Arweave, accessing the raw nodes directly is highly inefficient. This is where comes into play.

🪙 $ARIO Tokenomics
The total supply of $ARIO is X billion, with a fixed supply and no inflation.
🍕 Allocation Breakdown (see attached image):
Core Team & Advisors (19.72%): Locked with vesting periods to align with the network’s long-term success.
Supporters (26.7%): Supports early development and infrastructure building.
Community Allocation (17.5%): Rewards early adopters, developers, and active participants contributing to network growth. (A portion has already been airdropped to $EXP holders.)
Ecosystem & Partners (21.08%): Dedicated to driving innovation, expansion, and strategic partnerships.
Initial Protocol Rewards (5%): Incentivizes early participants to kickstart the ecosystem.
Foundation Reserve (10%): Ensures resources for the network’s sustainable development and growth.
🔁 Economic Cycle
🔹 Running a gateway node earns $ARIO income, but it requires staking $ARIO.
🔹 Gateway services are free, but leasing an ArNS domain requires users or app devs to purchase it with $ARIO.
🔹The revenue from leasing ArNS domains goes into the protocol treasury, which is used to distribute rewards to gateway nodes.
You might have noticed that, in essence, the ArNS business subsidizes the gateway business.
Here, we seem to see a common internet business model: “base services are free, while premium services are charged,” often referred to as “the wool comes from the dog.”
📒 Summary
In short, is a core project in the Arweave/AO ecosystem and an indispensable piece of critical infrastructure.
If you’re familiar with @Filecoin, you’ll know that Filecoin’s miner nodes are divided into storage nodes and retrieval nodes, essentially embedding retrieval services within Filecoin.
In contrast, @ArweaveEco adopts a more modular design, decoupling retrieval services and letting an independent project—@ar_io_network—provide them.
We can think of #Arweave, #AO, and #ARIO as the three foundational pillars of #PermaWeb:
@ArweaveEco is the storage layer of PermaWeb. @aoTheComputer is the computation layer of PermaWeb. @ar_io_network is the service layer of PermaWeb.
As the token for such an infrastructure project, the price performance of $ARIO is worth anticipating.
