0. Abstract

Avao is a decentralized infrastructure platform that unifies blockchain, secure computing, and governance into a single, user-centric ecosystem. It is designed to empower individuals, developers, and enterprises with tools that prioritize privacy, transparency, and long-term sustainability — without compromising usability or accessibility.

At the heart of the ecosystem lies Avao Chain, a custom blockchain powered by Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance (QBFT) — a high-performance consensus mechanism that delivers deterministic finality, fault tolerance, and enterprise-grade resilience. Avao Chain is purpose-built to serve as a foolproof foundation for onboarding utility products, privacy-first applications, and real-world companies seeking secure, compliant, and scalable decentralized infrastructure.

This chain anchors a suite of modular services, including:

● A non-custodial wallet for asset management, staking, and governance

● A decentralized compute marketplace for GPU/CPU resource sharing

● A curated launchpad and ecosystem hub for project discovery and community alignment

● A vote-escrowed governance system (veAOV) that rewards long-term commitment and ecosystem stewardship

AOV is the native utility and governance token of the Avao ecosystem. It enables users to participate in protocol governance, access services, and receive protocol-level incentives for contributing to the network’s stability and growth.

Avao is governed by a dual-entity structure:

● The Avao Core Foundation oversees the protocol, token mechanics, emissions, governance, and all chain-connected products.

● Avao Control, a partner company, develops and maintains user-facing tools like Avao Suite — bridging traditional computing environments with decentralized infrastructure.

This separation ensures regulatory clarity, operational focus, and seamless collaboration across the ecosystem.

This whitepaper outlines the architecture, governance model, tokenomics, and operational principles of Avao. It is intended as a comprehensive, educational guide.
