Key Takeaways

• OKZOO’s AIoT devices are driving the new DePin trend, with 12 million users utilizing their applications.
• The P-mini device enhances environmental monitoring by integrating AI pets with real-time data collection.
• OKZOO’s in-house manufacturing ensures quality and scalability, supporting efficient adaptation to user feedback and market demands.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, April 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OKZOO is experiencing rapid growth as it pioneers the “new DePin” (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) trend through its AIoT devices. AIoT, which combines artificial intelligence with the Internet of Things, links physical hardware to decentralized networks. OKZOO’s devices monitor environmental conditions like noise and air pollution, CO2 levels, and humidity.

With a user base of 12 million, driven mainly by its virtual AI pet applications, OKZOO has validated its hypothesis that engaging applications can support sophisticated AIoT networks. The initial pet simulator, V1, attracted 7 million users, confirming the emotional engagement of digital experiences. Building on this, the follow-up V2 introduced AI pets that learn and evolve, quickly gaining 700,000 users.

The success of these applications led to the development of the P-mini, a compact AIoT device that combines digital pets with environmental monitoring capabilities. The P-mini o1 features sensors and an AI companion that reacts to environmental changes, allowing digital pets to interact authentically with their surroundings.

Traditional environmental monitoring faces issues such as data sparsity and a lack of real-time accuracy. Government sensors often produce generalized data missing local variations in pollution, which can greatly affect health and daily living. The P-mini addresses these limitations by establishing a grassroots network of sensors for street-level data collection. What distinguishes OKZOO from conventional DePin networks is its focus on user engagement; the P-mini turns data collection into an enjoyable experience through interactive digital pets, rather than relying solely on financial incentives.

OKZOO’s in-house manufacturing capabilities provide a significant competitive edge. Unlike many companies that outsource production, OKZOO manages its hardware creation process, ensuring quality and the ability to scale operations efficiently. This vertical integration allows for swift adaptations based on market needs and user feedback.

The ecosystem’s incentive model rewards users for operating P-mini devices and providing relevant data. This collaboration builds a comprehensive database that fuels advanced AI applications, catering to needs like personalized health recommendations and urban planning. As environmental awareness rises, OKZOO seeks to merge utility with engagement. By making data collection enjoyable with virtual companions, the project fosters sustained user participation while addressing critical environmental monitoring challenges.

OKZOO stands out in a market eager for practical, innovative solutions, offering an integrated vision that connects AI, environmental monitoring, and hardware manufacturing to tackle real-world problems while creating engaging user experiences.
