AI Alignment Node License Migration
AI Alignment Node licenses will soon be fully transferable!
Starting December 24, 2025, you will be able to trade, sell, or move your node license to another wallet. As part of this upgrade, all existing Alignment Node NFTs are being migrated from Arbitrum to the 0G Chain.
The NFT migration will happen automatically and without any action needed on your end. You will receive a corresponding iNFT on 0G Chain with the same token ID and reward schedule. After the upgrade, rewards will continue to be issued directly on 0G Chain.
But to continue receiving rewards after December 24, 2024, you will need to re-delegate your licenses to the new operator address on 0G Chain. Failure to do so will result in a pause of rewards. This means there are no penalties and rewards will only be paused until you re-delegate to continue your 3-year allocation of ongoing rewards.
Here’s a rundown on everything related to this upcoming upgrade, and what you need to do on December 24 onwards.
Why is Re-delegation Required?
Re-delegation moves reward distribution directly onto the 0G Chain, where incentives are paid and verified at the protocol level. This removes reliance on Arbitrum-based contracts, third-party bridges, or external reward mechanisms. It also ensures that every reward action, from delegation to payout, is handled by the same chain that secures Alignment Nodes.
By delegating to a new 0G operator address, holders gain a more secure and transparent rewards system that is easier to audit, easier to upgrade, and designed around decentralized AI infrastructure. This upgrade makes rewards future-proof and enables new network-level incentives that will be issued natively on 0G going forward.
How to Re-Delegate
Starting December 24, 2025, you can:
- Visit the 0G Portal: claim.0gfoundation.ai
- Connect your wallet
- Navigate to “Delegation”
- Switch your network to 0G Chain
- Select your iNFTs
- Re-delegate to your NAAS provider’s 0G operator address
- Confirm the transaction
Switch network to 0G Chain
Delegate to new address of NAAS provider on 0G Chain
Where to Find your Provider’s New Address
There are nine approved Node-as-a-Service (NAAS) providers. Each provider will publish their new 0G operator address through their official channels. Use only the address you receive directly from your provider.
Unlocking True Ownership for Node Holders
This re-delegation process keeps every license active within a system built specifically for decentralized AI, paving the way for new network incentives and future onchain utility.
Thank you to all Alignment Node holders for helping build the core of 0G’s infrastructure. Your participation is securing decentralized AI at scale, and once this transition is completed we will be in an even stronger position to roll out faster rewards, new incentive mechanisms, and a widening array of AI-powered applications.
What comes next is not a rewards schedule, but a full incentive system for decentralized AI.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to manually transfer my node license NFT?
A: No. The migration to iNFTs on 0G Chain will be done automatically. But you will need to re-delegate your license to start earning rewards again.
Q: Will token IDs change?
A: No. Your iNFT on 0G Chain will have the exact same token ID.
Q: What happens if I forget to re-delegate?
A: Rewards will pause. They will resume as soon as you re-delegate to your provider’s 0G address.
Q: What happens to my NFT on Arbitrum?
A: Your Arbitrum NFT will expire once the new iNFT is created for you on 0G Chain. The 0G iNFT becomes your active license going forward, and is the only version that can earn rewards.
Q: Can I sell or transfer my iNFT after migration?
A: Yes. The new iNFTs on 0G Chain are fully transferable, so you can transfer or sell them at any time. Important: You must first undelegate your iNFT before you transfer or sell them to another user.
Q: How can I decide whether or not to purchase an additional iNFT license?
A: You can check out the iNFT tracker here to see how much the iNFT is worth based on how many $0G tokens have been claimed.
Q: Will I lose rewards if I sell my iNFT?
A: Rewards follow the license, not the wallet. Once the iNFT license is transferred or sold, the new owner just needs to re-delegate to start earning rewards.
Q: How do I earn rewards on the new iNFT I bought?
A: To start earning rewards on this new iNFT, simply delegate your new iNFT based on the operator address from your NAAS provider or run your own node.
Q: Where do I get the correct operator address?
A: Your NAAS provider will share their official 0G operator address directly through their verified communication channels. Make sure you only use the address provided by your provider’s official account.
