0G Builder Spotlight: How Gimo Finance Is Unlocking Liquid Staking for the AI Economy
Decentralized AI can’t scale without infrastructure, and infrastructure is only as strong as the builders behind it. Which is why we’ve launched the 0G Builder Spotlight, a new series showcasing some of the most promising projects building at the intersection of AI and blockchain on 0G.
These teams are moving past experimenting with decentralized intelligence to fully operationalizing it — and doing it faster, smarter, and more creatively thanks to 0G’s modular, AI-first architecture. First up on this list is Gimo Finance: a cutting-edge liquid staking protocol unlocking intelligent capital across the 0G ecosystem.
What Is Gimo Finance?
Gimo Finance is the first liquid staking protocol purpose-built for 0G and one of the first in crypto to align directly with the liquidity needs of decentralized AI systems.
At its core, Gimo allows users to stake $OG (0G’s native token) and receive $stOG, a liquid staking derivative that accrues yield, remains composable, and can be deployed across DeFi protocols. Built on StaFi’s AI LSaaS architecture and integrated natively on 0G L1, Gimo transforms passive capital into programmable financial building blocks for the machine economy.
Core features of Gimo include:
- Non-custodial liquid staking of $OG with fully on-chain rewards
- $stOG, a yield-bearing, DeFi-compatible token
- Composability with lending markets, DEXs, and yield aggregators
- UX designed for both crypto-natives and AI agents
How is Gimo Integrating 0G?
For its next chapter, Gimo is taking full advantage of 0G’s technical stack. The team reports 90-99% cheaper transaction fees, 80-90% cheaper storage costs, and 2-5x faster execution speeds compared to their previous infrastructure (which included Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot, among others). And because 0G is EVM-compatible, Gimo was able to reuse existing Solidity contracts and tooling.
“We chose to build Gimo on 0G because it's designed from the ground up for modular, AI-native use cases. Its high-throughput, low-latency data availability layer unlocks real-time composability essential for turning liquid staking into programmable building blocks across DeFi, campaigns, and AI agents.” — Jeff ZHANG, Gimo Co-founder
Whether executing multi-step flows or rebalancing strategies in real-time, Gimo allows agents to interact onchain at high frequency without sacrificing affordability or UX — all enabled through 0G’s modular, AI-first architecture.
What’s Next for Gimo
Gimo has evolved beyond simple staking rewards, and is now focused on unlocking new forms of intelligent capital deployments across 0G. By converting staked $A0GI into liquid, composable assets, Gimo enables a new class of AI-native financial strategies. These strategies can be executed by users or autonomous agents, allowing capital to flow with the same fluidity and responsiveness as information or compute.
“As the first liquid staking project on 0G and one that’s actively building agent-based interactions, we care a lot about responsiveness, cost-efficiency, and developer agility,” the team said. “Fast transaction execution is a game-changer for our AI agents.” — Jacky Ye, Gimo Co-founder
That same thinking applies to Gimo’s upcoming roadmap. Over the next six months, the team plans to expand its 0G integration with:
- A Staking Vault (LSV) product, offering diversified, agent-automated yield strategies
- Scalable AI agents for real-time user support, staking rebalancing, and governance automation
- Gamified campaign mechanics, transforming user actions into interactive, rewards-driven experiences
“What excites us most about the upcoming 0G features is the potential to unlock new, fun, and creative ways for our users to engage and actually benefit,” they shared. “We’re not just building infrastructure for developers, we’re designing experiences for users.” — Jeff ZHANG, Gimo Co-founder
If you want to know more about what Gimo has to offer, be sure to attend our joint AMA on AI-powered staking this Thursday (1PM UTC).
This online event will be cohosted by representatives from 0G, Gimo, Euclid and JAINE, and we’ll have plenty to share about the future of liquid staking & DeFi innovation!
Gimo and the Future of the AI Economy
Gimo Finance sits at a critical intersection: between DeFi and decentralized intelligence. As capital becomes as programmable and dynamic as compute, protocols like Gimo are key to building the infrastructure for on-chain AI coordination.
0G provides the performance layer. Gimo provides the liquidity. Together, we’re unlocking a future where agents and humans participate in shared economic systems: staking, voting, earning, and evolving together.
Gimo isn’t just enabling liquid staking. It’s creating the conditions for intelligent capital to thrive.
