ARO Network has set aside $2.1 million in pre-seed funds to accelerate its mission to build a distributed edge cloud built for peer-to-peer content delivery and AI computing. The round was led by Nolimit Holdings and diversified capital, accompanied by escape speed, maelstroms and participation from strategic angels.
Redefine the edge of the AI era
ARO networks are smart, distributed edge clouds driven by people, not data centers. Change the bandwidth of the idle internet, calculate it into a scalable peer-to-peer CDN (PCDN), and deliver content at the edge with latency and cost.
The models and technologies that underpin the ARO network have already demonstrated real-world success. Previous deployments based on similar architectures that scaled to over 1.5 million active nodes and generated annual revenues of over $140 million across major emerging markets. The last mile delay is most important.
Based on these learnings, ARO creates the next generation of edge clouds. This not only plugs in gaps in underserved regions, but also competes directly with legacy CDNs in mature markets. This is driven by participation in the global community and incentives from crypto origins, and starts in areas where the need is clear.
“We’re redefineing who owns the Internet. It’s not just about optimizing costs and delays,” said Adam Farhat, Head of Marketing @ARO Network. “This funding is not a theory rather than a decentralized infrastructure, it’s what it works and it’s paying. It’s expanding an enterprise-grade P2P CDN built for the open internet.”
The ARO Network is supported by Depin & Defi veterans
With the growing demand for faster, distributed delivery of content and AI workloads, ARO networks are well placed for the future.
Patrick, managing partner at distributed capital:
“CDN is a distributed edge calculation from a Trojan horse. ARO brings technology, timing and execution.”
Malcolm, General Partner at No Limit Holdings:
“ARO reduces latency and server load and provides low operating costs for both Web2 and Web3 enterprises.”
Next is the integration of testnets, aronouts and ecosystems
The $2.1 million funding will facilitate ARO’s testnet deployment, increased hardware and software node deployment, and onboarding early network contributors through the Pioneers program.
ARO, along with other modular networks, actively integrates with key ecosystems such as Eigenlayer, Base and IoTex to create infrastructure and native yield opportunities. Networks focus on providing real utilities across the Web2 and Web3 sectors, particularly in high-growth potential dependencies
“Legacy CDNS is struggling to achieve dense edge coverage in the ocean and in the Ratum,” says Salvador Gala, co-founder of Escape Speed. “The ARO network is rewriting the rules of the Internet.”
Aronauts: Building an open internet together
The ARO network activates early communities through the Aronaut Pioneers program, designed to fit the vision of a truly distributed edge infrastructure, with onboard node operators and contributors.
“Install it. Run it. Start getting it.”
Participants will earn rewards by running ARO hardware (ARO pods) or software (ARO clients) and sharing idle resources. Pioneers also provide feedback, helping to grow your network, and earn exclusive perks along the way.
PreviewNet is currently live, giving early contributors the opportunity to test their networks, earn Jade’s rewards and climb the leaderboard with limited time-contact sprints. Top contributors can unlock major bonuses and recognition, including first place prizes from the $30,000 reward pool.
About ARO Network
ARO Network is a distributed edge cloud platform that transforms IDLE Internet into a low-latency infrastructure layer for P2P content delivery and AI-enabled computing. ARO merges Web2 grade reliability with Web3-Native scalability and incentives. It builds the foundational layer of open internet physical infrastructure. It is designed for speed, ownership and long-term utilities beyond crypto hype.
