Aion (ticker AION) is a mineable cryptocurrency built around the idea of connecting different blockchains together — think of it as a bridge network rather than just another coin. It uses a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism, meaning new coins are created through mining. The project's official home is aion.network.

Frequently asked questions

What is Aion and how is it different from other cryptocurrencies?

Aion is a third-generation blockchain network designed to make separate blockchains communicate with each other — a concept often called interoperability. While most coins live in their own closed ecosystem, Aion's whole purpose is acting as a bridge between them. Its native coin, AION, powers transactions and fees across this network.

How does Aion's technology and consensus work?

Aion runs on a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism, the same family of technology behind Bitcoin. Miners compete to validate transactions and secure the network, and in return they receive newly minted AION coins. This makes the network mineable and its security dependent on distributed computational effort rather than a central authority.

How is Aion's coin supply and emission structured?

New AION coins enter circulation through mining rewards, which is the network's built-in emission mechanism. Because it's Proof-of-Work, there's no central issuer — supply grows as miners do their work. For current supply figures and market data, check the live stats on this page rather than static numbers.

How can you store and use AION?

AION can be stored in wallets that support the Aion network, including the official wallet options listed on aion.network. The coin is used to pay for transactions and interact with applications on the network. As with any cryptocurrency, keep your private keys safe and back up your wallet.
