0G & Web3Labs Global Accelerator: A Launchpad for Decentralized AI
The future of decentralized AI won’t be built by one company, one region, or one idea. It will emerge from a global ecosystem of builders solving real infrastructure challenges across compute, privacy, and the limitations of today’s blockchain systems.
To help accelerate that future, we’re proud to announce the Global Accelerator Program, a six-month program jointly launched by 0G Labs and Web3Labs. This initiative is designed to support high-quality projects building within the 0G ecosystem, providing them with the operational, technical, and fundraising support they need to scale.
Rooted in Asia yet open to the world and focused on impact, this accelerator will select up to 10 exceptional teams from around the globe and equip them with the tools to transition from early traction to ecosystem adoption.
Why This Accelerator, Why Now
The demand for decentralized AI infrastructure is growing, but many early-stage teams struggle to break through the noise, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, where operational and GTM support is limited. At 0G, we believe in growing the stack and the community. That means ensuring strong technical teams aren’t held back by a lack of access to resources or ecosystem connections.
The Global Accelerator fills that gap. While Guild on 0G focuses on onboarding and directly investing in early developer teams building scale-ready apps, this new initiative targets the next stage of growth: helping traction-stage projects sharpen their strategy, integrate into the 0G and web3 ecosystems, and connect with investors and partners.
What We’re Looking For
The accelerator is open to any 0G-native project aligned with our vision of building the Artificial Intelligence Layer (AIL). We’re especially excited to support builders in the following seven domains:
1. AI Agents
Autonomous, intelligent agents that automate web3 interactions, from DeFi assistants to task schedulers to personal onchain copilots.
2. Intelligent NFTs (iNFTs)
NFTs that do more than sit still. Powered by 0G’s dAIOS and storage layer, iNFTs can update dynamically, act autonomously, and interact across media, social, and financial layers.
3. Decentralized Science (DeSci)
Open data, transparent funding, and verifiable research frameworks. DeSci on 0G unlocks decentralized collaboration in science.
4. Real World Assets (RWA)
Tokenize the tangible. Use 0G to enable liquidity, proof-based transparency, and programmable interactions with real-world assets.
5. PayFi (Decentralized Payments and Finance)
Build AI-enhanced payment rails for the underbanked. Think: smart agents, micropayments, and better ways to monetize content.
6. Robotics
Marry onchain logic with real-world automation. Applications range from decentralized coordination to autonomous research agents.
7. Privacy-Preserving AI
Use 0G’s decentralized storage and compute layers to train AI models without compromising user privacy.
Full-Stack Support for Builders
The 10 selected participants in the 0G Global Accelerator will receive:
- Grants of up to $25,000 from 0G Labs
- Technical integration guidance and ecosystem onboarding
- PR and marketing support from both 0G and Web3Labs
- Access to the Web3Labs Investment Alliance for fundraising
- Operational and GTM coaching, with a focus on Asia-based teams
- Fast-track listing support from exchange partners
- Up to $10,000 in Microsoft Azure cloud credits
By combining infrastructure access, capital, and ecosystem connectivity, the program helps founders and teams move from early traction to scalable growth.
Global Reach, Local Impact
The 0G Global Accelerator is launched in partnership with Web3Labs, a one-stop gateway for web3 startups aligned with the Hong Kong SAR government’s web3 policy vision. While the program has a strong foundation in Asia and is designed to support APAC teams, it’s open to exceptional founders everywhere.
We recently kicked off the program with a community meetup in Hangzhou, where more than 150 builders gathered in an open-air venue to connect, share insights, and explore opportunities within the 0G ecosystem. The strong turnout underscored the growing interest in decentralized AI across the region.
No matter where you're building, if you're aligned with 0G’s mission to decentralize AI infrastructure, we want to hear from you. Applications are open through July 1.
