Al Morris on New to Crypto: What is Koii Network
Al Morris, Founder, appeared on New to Crypto in 2022 — a verified placement booked by Podlink for Koii Network.
Al Morris, founder of Koii Network, joined the New to Crypto podcast with host Crypto Travels Michael to explain what Koii Network is. Morris describes his path from the robotics industry into internet and digital marketing work, and his motivation to build censorship-prevention and free-speech systems. He presents Koii as a way to deploy truly decentralized applications using end users' devices, with the KOII token earned by producing content and running services rather than conventional mining — "Koii" stands for "knowledgeably open an infinite internet." The conversation covers how Koii pairs its settlement network with decentralized storage like Arweave and Filecoin, atomic NFTs that embed smart contracts in the storage layer, the Finnie wallet, Koii nodes that decentralize intermediary servers, dynamic NFTs such as the Narcissus flowers that open as they receive attention, and a 2022 roadmap featuring a decentralized mobile capture tool.
