0G’s AI Alignment Node sale was a successful event for its ecosystem growth. There were a total of 175,500 node licenses, with 15% of the total $0G tokens supply allocated to AI Alignment Node rewards. This means 150 million $0G tokens are allocated to AI Alignment Node holders.

Every node owner receives guaranteed rewards (see Distribution Schedule & Eligibility). On top of that, any unsold nodes will be redistributed, adding 37 million tokens back to the community. 

Here’s how the redistribution works, and how you can maximize your share.

Total Redistribution Rewards

There were 43,750 unsold AI Alignment Nodes out of a total of 175,500 licenses available. Those unsold nodes would yield 37,393,162.39 $0G tokens (~854.7 $0G tokens x 43,750 nodes). These ~37M $0G tokens will be redistributed to the node holders in 2 phases, as detailed below.

Redistribution Part 1 (Rewarding Alignment)

Owners who keep more of their initial allocation for longer (Parts 1A and 1B from the Distribution Schedule & Eligibility) — meaning they didn’t claim early — will qualify for redistribution. The larger and longer the unclaimed amount you hold, the bigger your share of the redistribution pool.

• Redistribution Pool Size: 33% of the total redistribution pool (~12.5M $0G tokens) is allocated to Redistribution Part 1.
• Time-Based Vesting: Rewards are distributed based on how much of the original 284.9 $0G token allocation an owner has left unclaimed, and how long they wait before claiming. 
• Minimum Additional Allocation: For qualifying users that don’t claim any of the 284.9 $0G token allocation for the full 365 days, each node is guaranteed at least 94.6 $0G tokens in extra rewards, with the potential for much higher amounts depending on how many owners claim early.
  
  

This system rewards the most committed participants who support the long-term stability and alignment of the 0G ecosystem. Any unclaimed rewards will be redirected to the 0G Foundation, where they will either be held out of circulation or reinvested into future community initiatives to strengthen further and grow the network.

Redistribution Part 2 (Rewarding Commitment)

Owners with at least one active node that stake tokens from their wallet will also qualify for a share of the redistribution pool. The more you stake, the higher your reward tier will be. 

This structure is designed to incentivize deeper network engagement, rewarding those who commit capital over time to help stabilize the ecosystem.

• Redistribution pool size: 67% of total redistribution pool (24.9M $0G tokens) is allocated to Redistribution Part 2.
• Node-based staking: Staking is node-based, meaning your reward tier depends on how much you stake per node.
• Reward allocation: Staking tiers are designed for everyone — from small holders to large investors and every node qualifies, so you can stake per node. Whether you stake a few hundred dollars or make a major commitment, there’s a level for you to participate and boost your share of redistribution rewards.
