The 0G Foundation is proud to announce its much-anticipated AI Alignment Node Sale, a critical step in furthering and securing decentralized AI infrastructure. These nodes will play a pivotal role in supporting 0G’s vision of making AI a public good, ensuring that AI on the 0G network operates transparently and as intended.
The mission is to create a decentralized future where AI is controlled by the community, ensuring that data remains secure, transparent, and contributes to the public good.
The 0G AI Alignment Node Sale is distributed across 32 tiers, starting at 0.05 ETH. Below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the sale, including its significance, benefits, and how to participate.
What is a Node Sale?
In a blockchain network, nodes are the backbone—servers or computers that validate transactions and maintain network security. Nodes ensure the integrity of the system by identifying and penalizing any dishonest actions, making them critical to the success of decentralized networks.
In the 0G Node Sale, NFTs will be sold which serve as access passes to operate an AI alignment node. These NFTs grant holders the right to operate a node and earn token emissions for helping to secure the network.
0G is introducing an innovative node sale mechanism aimed at true decentralization, departing from the typical low-float, high fully-diluted-valuation token sales often driven by venture capital interests. The goal is to decentralize the network's ownership while maximizing its utility and security. This fair sale approach prioritizes long-term involvement and shared ownership within the 0G ecosystem.
Through an extensive whitelist, early access will be granted to genuine users via launchpads, ensuring fair distribution. 0G's nodes will offer real, evolving utility, rewarding participants with emissions for securing the network and contributing to the ecosystem’s growth.
In line with our community-first ethos, we are allocating Tier 1 and Tier 2 nodes to our strongest and most loyal contributors. This decentralization effort is an opportunity for committed community members to get in early, alongside institutional-level participants, in what is designed to be an equitable and decentralized sale. Early public sale tiers are capped so we give real non-institutional users a chance to participate.
Why Run an 0G AI Alignment Node?
The AI space today is highly centralized, allowing AI systems to operate with limited transparency. By bringing AI on-chain, the 0G network makes the mechanics of AI much more transparent, enabling node operators to help to ensure that AI and its operators behave honestly.
As the 0G ecosystem matures, AI Alignment Nodes will also monitor AI model drift and ensure that AI remains accurate, unbiased, and secure. This includes addressing issues like bias in large language models (LLMs) and preventing the injection of inaccurate data.
By running a node, participants contribute to:
Decentralization: Ensuring the 0G network remains decentralized and resilient.
Security: Enhancing network security by verifying transactions and keeping AI accountable.
AI Processing Power: Supporting AI computations and enabling on-chain AI services.
Up to 15% of the total $0G ecosystem supply is allocated to these operators to build and maintain the ecosystem.
