Announcing 0G’s World-class Validator Set

One of the most important signals of network readiness is who shows up to secure it. A chain is only as strong as the operators that maintain its consensus. And in 0G’s case, that responsibility now lies with some of the most respected names in web3 and enterprise infrastructure.

As 0G approaches its Token Generation Event (TGE), we are proud to announce the onboarding of a world-class set of validators who will secure the network from day one. 

Their participation makes it clear that 0G is launching a production-ready system supported by the same institutions that secure the largest networks in the world, while decentralizing the future of onchain AI.

What Do 0G Validators Do?

Validators perform the essential task of verifying transactions, maintaining consensus, and safeguarding the integrity of the chain. On 0G, they also secure the foundation upon which decentralized AI can run. In short, these validators are key to ensuring that all AI inference, training, and data-heavy workloads that take place on 0G are verifiable, scalable, and tamper-proof.

You can view validator details, delegation breakdown, and commission rates on the 0G Validator Dashboard.

By onboarding top-tier validators from both web3 and traditional enterprise ecosystems, we are ensuring that 0G will be secured by operators with proven reliability, global reach, and deep track records across the blockchain industry.

Meet the Validators

Our validator set brings together a diverse mix of institutional giants, infrastructure leaders, and Web3-native operators. This ensures both decentralization and reliability from day one. 

Among the standout validators securing 0G are:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS): The world’s most widely used cloud provider, both for traditional cloud services and validator support across multiple blockchains
• Google Cloud: Google brings unmatched expertise in distributed systems engineering and enterprise integrations to 0G
• Alibaba Cloud (AliCloud): A top global cloud provider supporting mission-critical workloads across finance, AI, and e-commerce
• NTT Docomo: Japan’s largest mobile network operator, bringing telecom-grade infrastructure expertise to validator operations
• Blockdaemon: One of the largest, most trusted institutional staking providers in web3
• Figment: A top-tier validator and infrastructure provider supporting dozens of major networks
• Coinbase Cloud: The staking and infrastructure arm of Coinbase, one of the largest and most trusted crypto companies
• Alchemy: Powers many of the largest web3 applications with reliable APIs and node infrastructure
• Hex Trust: A leading Asia-based institutional custodian and staking provider
• Staked (Kraken): Trusted staking service securing billions across Ethereum, Solana, and beyond
• QuickNode: A major infrastructure provider that validates and provides dApp access to 75+ blockchains
• P2P.org: An institutional staking powerhouse that operates across Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and many others with billions in assets under management
• Stakin: A leading validator in the Ethereum, Cosmos and more, with a successful track record of supporting interoperability-focused chains
• Chorus One: A respected validator operator across Cosmos, Ethereum, and beyond, known for its research-driven approach to staking and decentralization.
• Everstake: A staking provider serving over 625,000 users and validating across 70+ networks including Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano

These institutions are just the tip of the spear. To date, 0G has onboarded over 100 validators, and is in the process of vetting even more. With this deep bench of independent operators, 0G will begin its mainnet journey with both the decentralization of a community-owned network and the reliability of enterprise-scale infrastructure.

The Foundation for Infinite Scale

Validators are the backbone of any blockchain. And for 0G, where AI-scale workloads demand both speed and trust, their role is critical. The track record and breadth of 0G’s approved validators is a signal to builders, enterprises, and the global community that 0G is ready for mass onchain AI deployment and adoption. 

0G’s TGE event is just weeks away, and as we enter 0G’s next chapter these validators will play a central role in securing the world’s first decentralized AI operating system — an infrastructure capable of scaling AI workloads onchain with Ethereum-grade security and infinite performance, and ensures that AI becomes a public good.

Stay tuned for more updates!
