🔄 Unlike traditional blockchains that terminate testnets and start fresh, AO's approach preserves all existing processes and data. It's a deliberate strategy that prioritizes continuity over arbitrary deadlines. ⏱️ Your applications remain functional throughout the infrastructure improvements as we optimize for long-term reliability. 🏗️🔒

Yep, can understand the frustration. Outages on the free compute nodes that @fwdresearch runs truly suck because they are so widely used. There is some confusion around this that should be cleared up: ➡️ AO processes themselves live on Arweave, so inherently they are never unavailable. You can always boot up your own node and execution them. ➡️ Sometimes, though, subsets of the legacynet nodes that @fwdresearch runs drown in free compute requests. ➡️ This is just like a gateway going down in a typical network -- it doesn't mean the network itself is unavailable. Same situation as Infra outages vs Ethereum stalls, etc. Almost all of the apps right now use the Forward Research cluster directly, though, so the UX can feel like 'fwd cluster is slow => aO iS DoWn?!' ➡️ At the moment most people use our cluster because it is free and until recently had very high rate limits. We ran it this way such that the widest set of people can get started and use the network easily. For some context on scale, the cluster is ~10,000 CPU cores right now. Ours alone is literally at small supercomputer-scale. I haven't seen charts for total requests served, but I expect it is into the >300m range per day. ➡️ We aren't the only people running nodes, though. For example, recently the @ar_io_network process was experiencing 10-15k reqs/min on our cluster. This led free compute requests to be slow/fail. Some gateways in the ARIO network run their own compute nodes, though, and were subsequently completely unaffected. So the obvious question is: Where do we go next? We gave a workshop outlining our expectations of the run ahead as well as a deep dive into AO-Core at the end of February (linked in next tweet), but here's a rundown of the key points: ➡️ AO-Core is an extremely modular protocol. All functionality is implemented in 'devices' (think: the decentralized supercomputer-equivalent of physical components you plug into a motherboard). These devices can be composed on top of one another to generate many different types of computations, customized to each use case. ➡️ Pre-launch our focus was placed on getting AO-Core itself correct, as well as the first set of devices which are focused on handling payments and relaying of HTTP requests. This shipped on Feb 8 with mainnet and allows you to spin up a cluster (like the fwd one), offering paid compute via AO-Core and its devices. We call this milestone 1. ➡️ Milestone 2 shipped a couple of weeks after mainnet, offering preview versions of the full stack of devices needed in order to execute AO processes natively inside the new node implementation. This includes the full schedulers, messaging systems, compute (with multiple engines, in fact), TEE support for trust-minimized execution, as well as access gating with the payments from milestone 1. You can boot up AOS and hit a HyperBEAM node to start playing around with this. ➡️ Our current focus is milestone 3: Making HyperBEAM nodes fully compatible with existing legacynet processes. After this, our focus will be to help the community smoothly move from the free legacynet cluster, to the decentralized network of HyperBEAM AO-Core nodes for their computing needs. Unlike a traditional testnet that is simply terminated, AO testnet was already carrying a significant amount of value by the time mainnet arrived. The community also have the opportunity to 'live transition' their services, without any explicit 'cut' in operations, because the processes don't actually 'live' in either AO mainnet or legacynet: They are simply data on Arweave. Subsequently, by focusing on compatibility of the implementations we can make the upgrade to mainnet seamless for millions of processes that are already live. tl;dr: ➡️ Free compute => slow compute. You can run your own, but few people do right now. ➡️ Focus is on making the new nodes that bring configurable payments fully compatible with legacynet. ➡️ Once achieved, focus will be on helping the community start to make use of those nodes, rather than relying on free compute. Hopefully that helps bring some clarity. It is not simple because live-migrating a network running constantly at >100 TPS and handling millions of requests an hour across hundreds of nodes was never going to be 'simple'. But this is where we are at and the direction of travel 🙂.

@TyprDay @aoTheComputer Let’s set up a poll on Typr💡

1/ Exploring Typr’s Poll Feature #Poll is one of the key features of #Typr, the decentralized social platform on @aoTheComputer. If you’ve joined the poll event over the past two weeks, you’ve probably already experienced it firsthand. Why are we building this? 👇

@huangyu07687728 @aoTheComputer sure, plz stay tuned!!!

@TyprDay @aoTheComputer As a decentralized platform on @aoTheComputer, it’s a fantastic way to engage users. Already joined the poll events—looking forward to more innovative features!

@TuringNow @aoTheComputer 🙌

@TyprDay @aoTheComputer The future X🆒

@Lawrence0426 @aoTheComputer That’s a good suggestion! 🫡

@TyprDay @aoTheComputer Have typr considered a raffle-style reward mechanism for the polls? Cuz sometimes splitting the rewards makes them too small, haha

@nansen_ai @aoTheComputer $AO 🔥🔥🔥

.@aoTheComputer is building a hyper-parallel, decentralized compute network—and letting you farm it with stETH & DAI. With up to 17% yield, no lockups, and a fair token launch, is AO an under-the-radar gem? Let’s briefly explore this in. 👇🧵

4/ How to Create a Poll? 1️⃣ Go to the Story page 2️⃣ Click "New Story" 3️⃣ Select "Poll" 4️⃣ Fill in the poll details & rewards, then click "New Story" again to launch it.

@aox_xyz @aoTheComputer Thanks for this contribution, looking forward to more assets coming🫶

1/ Why Bring $USDC and $USDT to @aoTheComputer? + Bridging Tutorial 🔹 In short: Liquidity and Opportunity. 🔹 $USDC and $USDT are the cash kings of crypto, and #AOX is the key to bringing them into #AO. Let's break down the reasoning behind this move 👇

@denziideng @aoTheComputer Haha, that’s just the popular opinion—we’ll still need to follow the ecosystem’s growth trends. 😁

@TyprDay @aoTheComputer Really? Is the future of gaming that promising?

🎉 #AO WAVE POLL Has Ended! A total of 131 participants joined the poll, and it’s clear that #GameFi is the most favored sector in the @aoTheComputer ecosystem! This poll was more than just a vote — it was a great way to boost engagement and strengthen #AO community vibe. ✌️

@chabudot @aoTheComputer Haha, NFTs have great potential too! Maybe we should add them as an option next time 😉

@TyprDay @aoTheComputer voting for NFT!

@perma_dao @aoTheComputer @Rimboxpump 🙌

@TyprDay @aoTheComputer GameFi WIN! 👀@Rimboxpump

@ferdianzhe @aoTheComputer Thank you for your interest! This is just the beginning, as we continue to improve our products, we’ll be adding more rewards. Plz stay tuned!🫡

Let’s look forward to the full rollout of #AO nodes — our persistence will surely pay off! Keep building! 💪 🙏 Big thanks to everyone who participated Stay tuned for the next round! 👀
