This article examines the mainnet launch of AO, a new project in the Arweave ecosystem. Despite its connection to trending AI technology, the launch generated minimal market interest. Three main factors contribute to this lukewarm reception: the limited airdrop size (AR holders received just 0.016 AO tokens on average), modest network activity levels despite some growth, and the ecosystem's early developmental stage—with TVL at $315 million, lower than during its testnet phase. The article suggests that AO's future hinges on its ability to convert its technical vision into real-world applications.

SVM is the "virtual computer" used on the Solana blockchain to run smart contracts and handle transactions. Unlike Ethereum's Virtual Machine (EVM), SVM uses parallel processing. Thanks to its built-in Sealevel engine, SVM can process thousands of transactions simultaneously, rather than sequentially like EVM, significantly speeding up transaction processing and improving network scalability. Moreover, SVM is developed using Rust, a language known for its performance, security, and ability to handle concurrent tasks, giving Solana a technical advantage when managing high loads.
