About Aion

Aion is a multi-tier blockchain network designed to address scalability and interoperability challenges through a hub-and-spoke architecture. The Aion-1 hub chain connects participant blockchains (spokes) via bridges, enabling token transfers and communication between heterogeneous networks. The network uses AVM (Aion Virtual Machine) supporting Java and Solidity smart contracts — a significant developer accessibility advantage. Aion's Unity consensus combines Proof of Work and Proof of Stake for security. The Open Application Network (OAN) rebranding in 2019 emphasized interoperability and open internet infrastructure. AION tokens are used for transaction fees, staking, and bridge operations between connected networks.
