#### aZen: The Foundation of Decentralized AI

In the era of Ubiquitous AI, where AI is omnipresent and embedded into all computing processes, there is an urgent need for a decentralized, autonomous coordination layer that enables AI-driven infrastructure to function efficiently, securely, and transparently.

aZen is the AI-native infrastructure for AI-agents, computing nodes and dAPPS with an in-built AI-native Protocol (aZen Protocol) powered by aZen native’s DePIN (aZen DePIN).
