On September 21, the biggest crypto exchange in the world, Binance, announced its 42nd project on the HODLer Airdrops portal – 0G (0G) – a decentralized AI L1 chain that promises to orchestrate hardware resources and software assets to handle AI workloads at scale.
Binance created the HODLer Aidrops portal to reward BNB holders retroactively, based on historical snapshots of their BNB holdings.
Users who subscribed their BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible and/or Locked) and/or On-Chain Yields products starting on September 15 at 00:00 (UTC) until September 17 at 23:59 (UTC) are eligible for the airdrop.
What is 0G (0G)?
0G Labs is the largest AI L1 for storage, compute, and scale managed by the 0G Foundation, which is advancing AI as a public good. 0G Foundation claims to be the first decentralized AI operating system, created to power the future of AI.
The 0G project is also known as ØG, or “Zero Gravity” and, according to its official website, it’s:
- Infinitely scalable
- Fully composable
- Purpose-built to power the next-gen wave of AI apps
Key Features
0G, which says it’s the largest ecosystem of decentralized AI apps, has the following key features:
- Infinite scalability – With limitless scalability, enabling AI and Web3 apps to grow without performance limits
- Fully onchain AI – AI runs 100% onchain, offering complete transparency, security, and verifiability
- Seamless composability – Effortless integration allows developers to easily create, connect and scale AI-driven Web3 apps
Multiple Technologies Combined
0G’s modular L1 promises to combine multiple specialized and interconnected technologies built for real-world AI workloads at scale.
Other project features and products include the following:
- Compute network – With trustless AI inference and compute, secured by decentralized infrastructure and cryptographic verifiability
- Storage – With decentralized AI-optiized storage with ultra-low costs and verifiable permanence for structured and unstructured data
- Data availability – With infinite scaling ability, high-speed data availability to support trustless verifiable AI workloads
- Service marketplace – A decentralized hub for AI models, agents, and services fueling an open and trustless AI economy.
- Alignment nodes – Ensuring that AI systems perform efficiently and responsively in return for ecosystem rewards
- dApps – Offering open and autonomous apps that harness onchain AI with full composability and verifiable logic
Project Achievements
As of September 21, the project has marked the following achievements:
- Over 650 million transactions on the testnet – Enabling smarter and faster AI
- Over 22 million active accounts – Co-creating the future of decentralized AI
- More than 8,000 testnet validators – Securing the 0G modular infrastructure
- Infinite scalability – With over 11,000 PEAK TPS per shard
Ecosystem Partners
Among the 0G project’s partners, there are important names in the industry, including Aethir, Aizel Network, Alchemy, Alibaba Cloud, Alliance DAO, AltLayer, Arbitrum, Aurora, Bitget Wallet, Chainbase, Humanity, Ionet, Manta, Move, OKX, Optimism, Polygon, and others.
The ecosystem partners include over 300 projects and more than 450 integrations.
What is $0G?
0G is the token that stands at the heart of the decentralized AI operating system (DeAI OS) and the largest AI L1.
The total supply of 0G will be 1 billion tokens, and over half of the TGE supply, or 56%, will be allocated to support the community and the ecosystem growth. The team and backer tokens are structured to provide long-term incentives.
The complete details of the 0G token allocation are the following:
- 28% of the total supply goes to the ecosystem.
- 15% goes to AI alignment nodes.
- 13% goes to community rewards.
- 22% goes to the 0G team, contributors, and advisors.
- 22% of the total token supply goes to the project’s backers.
0G will go live on exchanges, including Binance, on September 22.
Binance’s 0G Listing Details
In an official announcement, the crypto exchange revealed that it will launch 0G on September 22, at 10:00 (UTC), and it will open trading for the following pairs:
- 0G/USDC
