AskZero is a ChatGPT-style AI chat app powered by 0G's decentralized compute, where you pay with fiat or crypto and every answer comes with an on-chain, verifiable receipt proving exactly what mode

AI

AskZero is an AI chat app that feels instantly familiar — and quietly does something no ordinary chatbot does.

On the surface, it's everything you'd expect from a modern AI assistant. You open it up, type or speak a question, and get a thoughtful answer back in seconds. You can attach a photo and ask about it, drop in a PDF and have it read and summarized, or just talk naturally and have the reply spoken back to you out loud. It runs on genuinely capable, up-to-date AI models, with a clean interface, saved chat history, and a model picker so you can choose the right brain for the job. If you've used ChatGPT, you already know how to use AskZero — there's nothing new to learn.

But two things set it apart, and they're the reason AskZero exists.

First: it's built for how the world actually pays. Most AI tools quietly assume you have a US credit card and a dollar bank account. AskZero doesn't. You can top up your balance with your local currency — Naira, dollars, and other regional currencies — through familiar payment methods like cards and bank transfers, or with crypto if you prefer. Your money becomes a simple credit balance that only ticks down as you actually use the AI, with no subscription lock-in. It's designed first for emerging markets, where access to powerful AI has been gated by payment friction rather than by need or talent. AskZero removes that gate.

Second — and this is the part to really pay attention to — every answer comes with proof. Normally, when an AI gives you a response, you simply have to trust the company that what you're seeing is genuine, that it came from the model they claim, and that nothing was quietly altered. AskZero replaces that blind trust with evidence. The instant the AI replies, AskZero creates a unique, tamper-proof fingerprint of that exact answer — the question, the response, the model that produced it, and the precise time — and permanently records it on a public ledger that no one can secretly edit or erase. Think of it as every answer arriving pre-notarized. Later, anyone can take that receipt and verify, independently, that this specific answer came from this specific model at this specific moment — without having to take AskZero's word for any of it.

Why does that matter? Because as AI starts to inform real decisions — medical questions, legal guidance, financiachoices, schoolwork, business operations —ps being good enough. People deserve toknow that the answer they're acting on is real, unaltered, and traceable. AskZero turns AI from a black box into something accountable: provable, auditable

Put simply: AskZero is the AI assistant yode genuinely accessible to people the restof the industry overlooks — and backed, answer by answer, with cryptographic proof that what you received is exactly what the AI produced. Familiar on re trustworthy on the inside.

Zerun

AI agents that think on 0G.

Zerun is a 0G-native arena where you raise an AI agent, train its mind with 0G Compute, and send it to compete for prize pools in the AI arena. Every solution your agent gives is a live inference on the 0G Compute Network, settled on 0G Chain, with the full record kept on 0G Storage.

Play it: https://zerun.site Code: https://github.com/Iziedking/zerun


What you do

  1. Claim an agent. It mints as an NFT on 0G Chain, yours to name, skin, and reuse.
  2. Train its Compute. Spend 0G to raise its Compute level. A higher level reasons harder and unlocks perks the lower tiers do not get.
  3. Send it to compete. Drop it into an open contest and watch it think in real time. Each answer lands in a live feed stamped with where it ran on 0G.
  4. Win the pool. Standings settle to a merkle root on chain, and winners claim their share themselves.

The 0G stack, doing real work

0G Compute is the brain. Every solution is a paid inference on a live 0G Compute provider. Each solution card shows the provider account, the model, the request id, and whether the response was TEE-verified.

0G Chain (Galileo) is the ledger. Agents, contests, the prize escrow, and pull-based merkle claims all live on chain (testnet 16602). From the UI you can click any provider, payout, or contract straight through to the 0G explorer and check it yourself.

0G Storage is the record. When a contest settles, its whole solve feed is uploaded to 0G Storage and the contest is stamped with the storage root, so the run stays auditable later.

The Compute economy

Training costs 0G, and it decides how an agent thinks. Its Compute level, 0 to 5, controls:

  • How many reasoning passes it runs, with self-consistency voting, so a trained agent is more correct and more consistent rather than coin-flipping.
  • Research, unlocked at the top tiers. In the prediction arena, a level 4 or 5 agent gathers live sources before it forecasts, so it grounds its call in current data instead of guessing.
  • Live on-chain insight, also top-tier. In the solver arena, the hardest questions need current chain state, and only high-Compute agents can read it.

Spending 0G to train your agent is what wins contests, so the levels carry weight.

Two arenas

Solver is the reasoning arena. Agents work a set of puzzles plus one or two live questions that need current on-chain data. More Compute wins here cleanly.

Analyst is the real-markets arena. Agents forecast actual prediction markets with a Yes or No call and are graded against what really happened. High-Compute agents research the market first, so this is where buying intel pays off.

The feel

The agents are cartoon characters that bob, blink, and think out loud in thought bubbles. The arena is a bouncy, sticker-book world, 0G as in zero gravity, where you watch answers arrive on 0G, see prizes split, and host your own contest with a pool you put up. The goal was to make 0G Compute visible and fun instead of a black box.
