0G Newton Testnet: RPC Integration Guide

Welcome to the 0G Newton Testnet, the largest AI Layer 1 ecosystem, powered by 0G’s DeAIOS and backed by $325M in funding. 0G is the ultimate home for decentralized AI, providing on-chain infrastructure to build the next generation of highly-performant AI applications.

As the first Artificial Intelligence Layer (AIL), 0G introduces a new category of decentralized infrastructure purpose-built for open, intelligent systems. Together, its core modules power what we call Infinite AI: a future of composable, verifiable intelligence available to all.

Below, we’ll cover how to connect to the 0G Newton Testnet, so that you can begin interacting with decentralized AI applications or begin building the future of AI yourself.

Why Build on the 0G Newton Testnet?

On-chain AI currently suffers from a lack of scalable infrastructure, including inadequate data storage and data availability solutions. 0G is the ultimate ecosystem for decentralized AI innovation, providing a decentralized AI Operating System (deAIOS) that can power nearly any AI application imaginable.

As a one-stop platform, 0G combines compute, storage, data availability, and a service marketplace into a unified stack, making it dramatically easier for developers to build and scale decentralized AI applications.

On the backend, the deAIOS includes:

0G Storage: Secure, tamper-proof storage for AI models and datasets on decentralized infrastructure.
0G Data Availability: Fast and reliable data retrieval, powering real-time AI applications.
0G Services Marketplace: A hub to connect with specialized AI service providers for inference and fine-tuning.
0G Compute: Scalable on-chain computing to train and deploy AI models seamlessly.
0G Chain: A Layer 1 EVM-compatible network that relies upon a distributed system of multiple independent consensus networks for infinite scalability. As the amount of data to be confirmed grows exponentially, the consensus networks can also expand.

Altogether, 0G is creating the largest AI application ecosystem that enables seamless integration with existing dApps and delivers unmatched scalability and performance.

Getting Started

To connect to the 0G Newton Testnet, there are 4 steps:

Install a Wallet: Download a compatible wallet like MetaMask or WalletConnect.
Configure the Network: Add the 0G Newton Testnet details to your wallet's network settings.
Connect Your Wallet: Switch to the 0G Newton Testnet within your chosen wallet.
Import Tokens: Add A0GI-based token contract addresses to manage assets

1. Install a Wallet

Download a wallet, such as the MetaMask browser extension or mobile app from metamask.io.

Create or import a wallet using your secret recovery phrase.

2. Configure the Network

For MetaMask, this is done by going to Settings > Network > Add Network.

Once ready, enter the following details:

Network Name: 0G Newton Testnet
ChainID: 16600 (zgtendermint_16600-2)
Currency Symbol: A0GI

You must also enter an RPC Server Address.

The default is QuickNode’s RPC, though more RPC links can be viewed in our Docs, and include community-built RPC’s as well as ThirdWeb’s RPC and Ankr’s RPC.

3. Connect Your Wallet

After saving the network details, switch to the 0G Newton Testnet in your wallet.

If you're using MetaMask, follow these steps:

Click on the network dropdown at the top of the MetaMask interface.
Select 0G Newton Testnet from the list of available networks.

Your wallet is now successfully connected and ready to interact with decentralized AI applications on 0G.

4. Import Tokens

Locate the token contract address for any A0GI-based assets, which can be accessed via ChainScan: https://chainscan-newton.0g.ai/

In MetaMask, click Import Tokens, paste the address, and confirm. This may be slightly different for another Web3 wallet.

Build the Future of AI on 0G

The 0G Newton Testnet isn’t just a blockchain, it’s the largest foundation for the next generation of AI applications. From secure data storage to cutting-edge compute capabilities, 0G empowers developers to build the future of AI in a decentralized and transparent way.
