The future of AI is decentralized, and 0G is building the operating system for it. As the largest L1 for AI, 0G provides the infrastructure, compute, and storage needed to power the next generation of decentralized AI applications.
Now, with the launch of Guild on 0G, we are inviting builders, creators, and visionaries to experiment, design, and deploy AI-powered applications directly on 0G. This program offers over $8.88 million in prizes, grants, and gas credits for participants who join us in accelerating the development of verifiable, permissionless AI experiences that will define the future of web3.
If you're a builder looking to leverage AI in a decentralized environment, let’s take a closer look at why 0G is the best place to build, how you can get started, and what key verticals we’re actively seeking to grow.
Why Guild on 0G?
With $325M+ raised, 0G is one of the best-capitalized AI blockchains. Over 300 projects are already partnered with us, including major players like Alibaba, Ora, OP, and more. Additionally, our $88M Ecosystem Fund is actively supporting projects that align with our mission.
To that end, Guild on 0G is a builder-focused initiative that rewards innovation, experimentation, and the development of AI applications that take full advantage of 0G’s modular, AI-first onchain infrastructure. Builders will have early access to 0G’s testnet in order to develop system familiarity, develop new use cases, and hit the floor running upon mainnet launch.
The First AI-Native Layer 1
Unlike existing on-chain AI solutions that operate as mere wrappers around centralized AI models, 0G is the first true AI-native L1—a purpose-built Decentralized AI Operating System (deAIOS) that includes:
Verifiable storage: A decentralized storage network optimized for massive data loads.
Verifiable compute & AI inference marketplace: Enabling decentralized model training and execution.
The Best AI-Native Layer 1
Guild on 0G participants will receive direct funding for their AI dApps, in addition to technical mentorship and support from the 0G team and ecosystem partners. On top of that, selected projects will be eligible for exclusive co-marketing and promotion within the 0G network. But beyond that, there are several other reasons why 0G is the go-to ecosystem for bringing your onchain AI application to life:
Strong Ecosystem & Funding Support: With $325M+ raised, 0G is one of the best-capitalized AI blockchains. Over 300 projects are already partnered with us, including major players like Alibaba, Ora, OP, and more. Additionally, our $188M Ecosystem Fund is actively supporting projects that align with our mission.
Developer-Friendly Infrastructure: 0G is fully EVM-compatible, meaning dApps from Ethereum and other chains can easily integrate. Additionally, new AI primitives like ERC-7857 (iNFTs) enable AI agents to be tokenized, owned, and traded in web3.
Democratized Participation: We’re not just another VC-funded chain. 0G is committed to community ownership, allowing retail investors, independent developers, and researchers to participate in shaping the future of DeAI.
What Can You Build?
The Guild on 0G is looking for AI-powered applications that take advantage of 0G’s AI-native infrastructure, and there are no limits to what use case or sector your project can focus on. That said, here are a few key verticals we are interested in building out:
AI Agents & DFAI: Building autonomous AI-powered financial and decision-making systems.
Intelligent DeFi: Next-gen DeFi applications and protocols that leverage on-chain intelligence, from smart wallets to AI-powered yield farming protocols.
Decentralized Science (DeSci): AI-driven research and knowledge-sharing networks.
AI-Enabled Games: Games powered by AI models running entirely on-chain.
iNFTs & Intelligent Content: Next-gen entertainment protocols that redefine creator-fan experiences.
How to Get Started
Ready to get started? Developers who want to build on 0G will go through a structured five-stage process to ensure the best projects receive support:
Application Submission: Complete your project proposal once all the details are in place.
Team & Product Review: The 0G team assesses your project’s technical feasibility, roadmap viability, and team capabilities.
Ecosystem Synergy Review: Applications are evaluated based on how well the project integrates within the broader 0G ecosystem.
Technical Support & Mentorship: Approved projects receive hands-on technical support, partnership opportunities, and marketing amplification.
Final Terms & Capital Allocation: Eligible projects will receive funding of up to $200K through grants, investments, or ecosystem incentives.
