0G Node Sale Results

0G announced its Alignment Node Sale, raising $250M to-date that will be used in decentralizing AI.

With this financial backing, 0G is positioned to lead the development of the world’s first decentralized AI Operating System (dAIOS), empowering developers to build scalable, on-chain AI applications.

Here’s an overview of what we’ll cover:

• The Node Sale Results: Highlighting the number of launchpads, nodes sold, and funds raised.

• Rebates and Commissions: Explaining the structure and benefits for participants post-sale.

• How Funds Will Be Used: Detailing the roadmap for scaling 0G’s mission to decentralize AI.

Background on the Node Sale

0G is building a decentralized AI Operating System (dAIOS) that offers a comprehensive suite of AI infrastructure for Web3 projects, including decentralized storage, real-time inference, and infinitely scalable data availability.

Decentralization and active community participation are critical to ensure the system’s long-term success, which is where our Node Sale comes in.

Nodes are the backbone of blockchain networks, validating transactions, securing the system, and maintaining data integrity. 0G's AI Alignment Nodes go further by monitoring other node types, identifying malicious or incorrect data, and ensuring accountability across the network. During the ongoing sale, NFTs representing node licenses are being offered at accessible price tiers, empowering the community to operate these nodes, earn rewards, and contribute to strengthening 0G’s decentralized AI infrastructure.

Distributed across 32 tiers, starting at just 0.05 ETH, the sale has been designed to make participation accessible to a wide range of contributors, empowering them to play a vital role in decentralizing and strengthening the 0G ecosystem.

Node Sale Results

Although still ongoing, the 0G Node Sale has achieved unprecedented results thus far and we are incredibly grateful and enthusiastic that so many believe in our technology and vision.

Since launching November 11th, the Node Sale reached several incredible milestones, including:

• 18 Launchpads: Collaborations with 18 partners, such as Mocalist, Fjord, NodeOps, Swissborg etc, driving significant community engagement. These launchpads alone accounted for a large portion of the sales and helped amplify awareness.

• Over 80,000 Nodes Sold: This far exceeded the initial milestone of 54,000 nodes sold within the first five days, showcasing the immense demand and belief in 0G’s vision.

• 6K+ Unique Wallets participated: More than 6k unique buyers have participated in this sale, and own the AI Alignment nodes of 0G. 

• $28M+ Raised: Funds were generated through both public participation, private investors and launchpad participation, creating a robust financial foundation for 0G’s decentralized AI Operating System (dAIOS).

• Rebates and Commissions: A structured rebate system ensures that participants who contributed to node sales are rewarded, further incentivizing community involvement.

This all coincided with our $40M seed round raise led by Hack VC, Delphi Ventures, and Animoca Brands.

What Happens After the Node Sale?

Participants in the Node Sale will benefit from a referral commission and discount structure designed to reward early supporters. Details include:

• Commission Incentives: Partners involved in the sale receive 10%  commission, encouraging ongoing collaboration and ecosystem growth. This attracts KOLs from around the globe to promote the node sale. 

• Discount for referral customers: For customers who got referred, they all received a 10% discount in the sale, as an incentive to participate. 

Additionally, the sale has laid the groundwork for a node operator ecosystem, where participants will earn token emissions for operating their licenses.

How Funds Will Be Used

The funds raised from the Node Sale will be pivotal in accelerating the development of 0G’s decentralized AI Operating System (dAIOS). 

The funds raised will be instrumental in accelerating the development and adoption of 0G’s decentralized AI Operating System (dAIOS). Key areas of focus include:

• Scaling Infrastructure: Enhancing server capacity, GPU availability, and overall infrastructure to support large-scale AI applications.

• Security Enhancements: Implementing advanced cryptographic techniques, including MPC protocols and verifiability, to ensure data integrity and security.

• Expanding Development Teams: Recruiting top-tier AI researchers, blockchain engineers, and data scientists to advance the ecosystem.

• Ecosystem Incentives: Reward programs to drive participation from node operators, developers, and contributors.

• Partnership Development: Collaborating with leading Web3 projects and enterprises to integrate 0G technology into diverse use cases.
