AGI Open Network (AON), founded in Hong Kong in 2023, is a decentralized AI infrastructure designed to facilitate the creation, deployment, and monetization of AI agents. It seeks to make AI development more accessible by reducing barriers for both experienced and non-experienced creators. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Overview

AGI Open Network (AON) seeks to lower entry barriers for both experienced developers and newcomers, making AI technology more accessible and fostering innovation. The network consists of multiple layers, including a Computing Power Layer for AI processing, an AI Model Layer that aggregates over 3,000 open-source model APIs, a Multi-Agent Collaboration Framework for advanced problem-solving, an AI Agent Launchpad for deploying AI solutions, and a PAI Agent Invocation Service that facilitates AI-powered tasks.

AON's ecosystem is composed of developers and users who contribute to its growth and functionality. Developers—including blockchain engineers, AI model creators, and AGI product developers—build and maintain the platform, earning revenue through sales, subscriptions, and token incentives while receiving technical support. Users can interact with AI products, participate in activities to earn tokens, and use them to access AI agents at reduced costs. By integrating these elements, AON aims to create a collaborative and open environment for AI-driven solutions. ^[4]

Initial Agent Offering (IAO)

The Initial Agent Offering (IAO) model enables creators to generate exclusive tokens for their AI Agents by utilizing a specified amount of AON tokens. This approach facilitates early adoption by allowing initial supporters to acquire and engage with AI Agents during their launch phase.

Following the distribution of AI Agent tokens through a fair launch mechanism, future users must obtain these tokens or use fiat currency to access the AI Agent’s services. This system encourages global participation while providing a structured method for monetization and continued development. ^[5]

Initial Model Offering (IMO)

The Initial Model Offering (IMO) model allows AI model developers to create exclusive tokens for their AI models, encouraging independent contributions to open-source AI development. Models approved for IMO within the AON platform are integrated into AI Agents, driving demand for their usage.

A share of the revenue generated by AI Agents utilizing these models is allocated to repurchase and burn the associated AI model tokens, supporting long-term value retention. This mechanism provides potential benefits for investors while promoting sustainable growth within the ecosystem. ^[6]

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source communication standard introduced into the Web3 space by AGI Open Network (AON) to enhance interoperability between AI models, agents, and data sources. By establishing a unified protocol for context sharing, MCP removes the need for custom integrations, allowing AI Agents to interact more efficiently within decentralized ecosystems. This standardization is essential in Web3, where AI Agents typically operate in isolation, limiting their ability to collaborate and scale effectively.

Leveraging MCP, AON has developed the first MCP-Compatible Multi-Agent Collaboration Framework, which enables permissionless interoperability, autonomous collaboration, and real-time payments among AI Agents. This framework allows agents to self-organize, integrate with new services autonomously, and transact seamlessly without prior setup. By implementing a shared communication standard, MCP fosters a decentralized AI environment where AI Agents can combine capabilities, optimize efficiency, and unlock new use cases across various applications. ^{[7] [8] [13]}
