The OAN (AION)
An Open Application Network.- The OAN, or Open Application Network, is a public infrastructure that creates a design space for Open Applications, or programs that put users "back in control" and are universally accessible across platforms.
- The OAN platform offers APIs, templates, and documentation to accelerate the creation of Open Apps for developers.
- The network is secured with a type of consensus algorithm similar to Delegated Proof of Stake. However, users can not only delegate their tokens, but also computational resources.
- The AION token is used in delegating and staking, as well as a form of payment for services the network provides.
