1.2 Vision and Design Principles

Avao’s vision is to build a resilient, decentralized infrastructure layer for the next generation of the internet — one where users control their data, developers access affordable compute, and communities govern the systems they rely on.

This vision is grounded in five core principles:

● Utility-first design: Every component of Avao — from the chain to the wallet to the compute marketplace — is built to solve real problems for real users.

● Transparent governance: Avao’s vote-escrowed governance model (veAOV) ensures that long-term participants shape the future of the ecosystem.

● Security and privacy by default: Avao Suite provides a secure, privacy-first environment for users to interact with both Web2 and Web3 applications.

● Scalability without compromise: Avao Chain uses QBFT consensus to deliver fast, deterministic finality without sacrificing decentralization or resilience.

● Seamless onboarding: Avao Suite acts as a Web2-friendly gateway, enabling users to access decentralized services without needing deep technical knowledge.
