0G has raised over $250M through its Alignment Node Sale, marking a major milestone in our mission to build the world’s first Artificial Intelligence Layer (AIL) and decentralized AI operating system (deAIOS).
With this financial foundation, 0G is accelerating the shift toward Infinite AI: an open, composable ecosystem for building verifiable, on-chain intelligence at scale.
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 the first AIL: a modular, infinitely scalable stack that supports decentralized storage, real-time inference, and data availability optimized for AI. At the heart of this stack is our deAIOS, which empowers developers to build and scale next-generation AI applications directly onchain.
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
The response to the Node Sale has far exceeded expectations, with overwhelming interest from across the ecosystem. Since launching on November 11th, 0G has hit several major milestones:
18 Launchpads: Partnerships with Mocalist, Fjord, Swissborg, NodeOps, and more helped drive massive visibility and momentum.
80,000+ Nodes Sold: Exceeding 54,000 in just the first five days—underscoring high conviction in 0G’s mission.
6,000+ Unique Wallets: A globally distributed community of buyers and operators.
$28M+ Raised: In addition to our $40M seed raise, this funding builds a robust foundation for 0G’s AIL.
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 were referred, they all received a 10% discount on 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 funding from the Node Sale will accelerate the growth of 0G’s modular stack, bringing together compute, storage, and data availability into a unified, decentralized AI layer. Key areas of investment 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.
