0G

What 0G does

0G (Zero Gravity Labs, Inc.) is a San Francisco-based blockchain infrastructure company building a modular, AI-first Layer 1 protocol designed to serve as the trust and settlement layer for autonomous AI agents. Founded in 2023 by Michael Heinrich (CEO), Ming Wu (CTO), Fan Long (CSSO) and Thomas Yao (CBO), the company launched its Aristotle Mainnet in September 2025 and the 0G ($0G) token is listed on Binance, Bybit, Gate, Coinbase and Kraken. The platform combines four interlocking layers — 0G Chain (an EVM-compatible L1 with optimized CometBFT consensus delivering 11,000+ TPS per shard), a decentralized Compute Network with ZK-proof verified settlement, 0G Storage (2 GB/s throughput using Proof of Random Access), and an infinitely scalable Data Availability layer — supplemented by Alignment Nodes that secure the protocol and a Service Marketplace that distributes AI models, agents and services.

On top of the base stack, 0G operates 0G Private Computer, a TEE-attested verifiable AI inference product on Intel TDX and NVIDIA H100/H200 hardware that exposes OpenAI API-compatible endpoints for hosted models including Z.ai GLM-5.2, Alibaba Qwen, DeepSeek and Whisper. Higher-level products include the AIverse iNFT marketplace (built on 0G's own ERC-7857 token standard), the consumer-facing 0G App, the Ghast AI assistant, the proprietary 0GM-1.0 model, the .0g native identity layer, and developer tooling (Builder Hub, 0G Tapp). Revenue mechanics span transaction fees in the 0G token, pay-per-use inference on Private Computer (with credit-card billing enabled May 2026), GPU marketplace commissions, storage/DA usage fees, and one-time Node License NFT sales (which raised over $30M). Customers and partners include Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Chainlink, NTU Singapore, BitGo Trust, ZeroStack (Flora Growth), AIverse, Ghast AI, AmericanFortress, Halborn Security, and an ecosystem of 300+ integrations; the community-led GTM motion is reinforced by the $20M Apollo AI Accelerator, the $88.88M Ecosystem Growth Program, the OnePiece Labs and Web3Labs incubators, and developer hackathons including WaveHack and the Zero Cup vibe-coding tournament.

Direct peers

• Celestia: Celestia is the leading modular data availability (DA) layer for blockchains. 0G's DA layer competes directly with Celestia in providing scalable, sampling-based DA, and both target similar modular blockchain architectures with separate execution and DA layers.
• EigenDA: EigenDA is a restaking-based data availability layer built on EigenLayer. It is a direct competitor to 0G's DA offering in serving rollups and modular chains, with comparable throughput claims and a different security model (restaked ETH vs 0G's shared staking).
• Render Network: Render is a decentralized GPU marketplace for AI and 3D rendering compute. It directly competes with 0G's Compute Network in offering decentralized GPU access for AI inference workloads, with comparable marketplace economics and target audiences.
• Akash Network: Akash is a decentralized compute marketplace that lets developers rent GPU/CPU capacity for AI workloads. It is comparable to 0G's Compute Network and Private Computer offerings for verifiable, pay-per-use AI inference and training.
• io.net: io.net aggregates underutilized GPUs into a decentralized cluster for AI/ML workloads. It is a direct competitor to 0G's Compute Network, targeting AI developers with similar pay-per-use decentralized compute and fine-tuning infrastructure.
• Bittensor: Bittensor is a decentralized AI network where miners contribute machine learning models and are rewarded in TAO. It overlaps with 0G in the 'decentralized AI infrastructure' narrative and competes for developer mindshare in onchain AI training and inference.
• Sahara AI: Sahara AI is building a decentralized AI platform for AI asset ownership and training. It overlaps with 0G on tokenized AI agents (iNFTs/Agentic IDs) and onchain AI training, with a similar Web3-native AI focus and comparable funding profile.

Emerging players

• Ritual: Ritual is an emerging AI x crypto protocol building infrastructure for onchain AI models and inference. It is comparable to 0G's Compute Network and Private Computer for verifiable AI inference, though it remains at an earlier stage of mainnet deployment.
• Morpheus AI: Morpheus is a decentralized AI agent network built on Ethereum for smart contract-executing AI agents. It overlaps with 0G's agent-focused narrative and iNFT marketplace (AIverse) in targeting onchain AI agents with portable ownership and execution.

Broad incumbents

• NEAR Protocol: NEAR is an established Layer 1 with a strong AI focus (NEAR AI, agent integrations). It is a broader incumbent competing with 0G for AI x Web3 developer mindshare and onchain AI agent activity, with deeper liquidity and ecosystem reach.
