The 0G x OnePiece Labs AI Accelerator is designed to support cutting-edge AI projects that are pushing the boundaries of decentralized intelligence. Since kicking off this Accelerator last summer on a rolling admissions basis, we’ve seen a flood of high-potential AI applicants looking to scale their impact within the decentralized AI landscape.
So far, the inaugural 0G x OPL Accelerator cohort has set a high bar:
CARV grew its user base to over 10M, generated $6M in revenue from their cutting-edge, AI-driven gaming solutions, and reached a $1B ATH market cap after onboarding with 0G x OnePiece.
Cygnus Finance Reached $100M+ TVL and secured strategic partnerships with Binance, OpenOcean, and SynFutures; currently gearing up for a $15M fundraising round leading up to their TGE.
DataHive expanded its pipeline to 6M users, secured $150K in booked revenue and is in the final review stage at NYU Stern’s Endless Frontier Labs.
Infinity Ground raised $2M in Seed funding to build interoperable AI-powered worlds across blockchains like Base, BNB Chain, and KaiaChain.
Following the remarkable success of this first cohort, 0G and OnePiece Labs are excited to introduce the second cohort—a handpicked selection of startups building at the intersection of AI and web3!

Building the Future of AI on 0G
We’re proud to launch the second cohort of their AI Accelerator, bringing together some of the most cutting-edge AI projects in web3.
By bringing these high-caliber projects into the 0G decentralized AI OS, the accelerator aims to expand 0G’s technological capabilities and attract more innovators to its ecosystem. 0G is rapidly emerging as the AI-enabling Layer 1, with a vision to build a truly decentralized AI infrastructure that is scalable, efficient, and open to all. And with OnePiece’s proven track record in AI and web3 acceleration, we’re excited to see how far these 0G x OnePiece Labs AI Accelerator projects will go!
In support of this mission, 0G has secured significant funding, recently closing a major investment round to fuel its growth. With its TGE on the horizon, the 0G ecosystem is primed for exponential expansion. It offers AI developers, researchers, and enterprises an unparalleled platform to build and deploy AI solutions that are powerful, decentralized, and accessible to all.
Over the coming weeks, the projects that form cohort 2 will receive mentorship, technical support, and investor exposure—culminating in their participation at Token2049 Dubai’s on-site Demo Day, where they will showcase their progress to the global web3 and AI community.
