From February 13 to March 15, 0G hit the road with a mission to mobilize developers, founders, users, and ecosystem partners around the future of decentralized AI.
The 0G Road to Mainnet China Roadshow brought the 0G vision to four of China’s most influential innovation hubs—Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and Hangzhou—drawing in over 800 attendees, nearly 1,000 new community members, and a wave of excitement for the next chapter of blockchain x AI.
What began as a community-building initiative quickly became a powerful showcase for 0G’s high-performance AI-native Layer 1, built from the ground up for open innovation.
Highlights from the Tour
📍 4 Stops: Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou
👥 1,801 Registrants, 886 Total Attendees
🐼 991 New Community Members
Each stop combined expert panels, technical keynotes, and builder-focused discussions designed to showcase the infrastructure and ecosystem 0G is building.
From scalability to agent composability, 0G’s modular architecture sparked meaningful conversations with attendees on how AI can live natively onchain without workarounds.
Why This Roadshow Mattered
Throughout the roadshow, it became clear that decentralized AI is being recognized globally for what it truly is: a fundamental shift in how we compute and coordinate.
That shift in understanding demands a new kind of infrastructure. 0G’s DeAIOS (Decentralized AI Operating System) rises to meet that need by reimagining the full stack—execution, storage, data availability, and agent frameworks—all EVM-compatible and purpose-built for AI workloads.
At each stop, we heard the same thing: Builders are hungry for performant, composable infrastructure that goes beyond speculative L1s. 0G isn’t retrofitting old ideas; we’re introducing a new class of infrastructure, complete with developer incentives, composable AI agents (iNFTs), and a modular stack ready to scale.
City-by-City Momentum
Shanghai | Feb 13
The tour opened with strong energy, setting the stage for DeAI in Asia’s financial capital. Attendees got a deep dive into 0G’s roadmap and the first public breakdown of its iNFT framework.
Shenzhen| Feb 15
Known for its tech-savvy crowd, Shenzhen brought 200+ attendees, many of them developers eager to explore how 0G supports AI-native workflows.
Chengdu | March 8
Chengdu set the bar with over 630 registrants and the most diverse attendee base, ranging from AI founders to web2 engineers exploring blockchain for the first time. The modular design of 0G resonated especially well here.
Hangzhou | March 15
The final stop delivered the strongest ecosystem turnout, with partners, builders, and researchers coming together to connect around what’s next: 0G mainnet and the emerging AI Agent economy.
Powered by a Robust Community
0G collaborated with TinTinLand to bring this tour to life. Their reach across China’s web3 builder scene helped amplify the tour’s message and ensured the right developers showed up eager to learn and build.
Across all stops, we saw an attendee mix of 60% web3 developers, 25% web2 developers, and 15% university students. Each city also received an overwhelming number of registrations, with standing room only in some cases.
Notably, this diversity extended beyond backgrounds, spanning generations, too. In Chengdu, one senior-aged community member and node buyer drove over 1,000 kilometers from Xi’An just to meet the team in person. His enthusiasm for blockchain and AI left a lasting impression on the 0G team and reminded us how far-reaching the DeAI movement already is.
Throughout the tour, we kept the momentum going through AMAs, X Spaces, and WeChat activations. TinTinLand’s online outreach generated over 12,000 views via X Spaces alone, proving the global community is just as excited for what’s coming next.
What’s Next: Countdown to Mainnet
The Road to Mainnet, although paved with IRL meetups, is a movement to activate the next wave of builders who will help define decentralized AI. Now, with the China leg of our tour complete, we’re shifting focus to the most important milestone at hand: 0G Mainnet.
Coming in Q2 2025, 0G’s mainnet will unlock:
Full iNFT transferability
Seamless agent deployment via AIverse
Next-gen performance upgrades for AI workloads
Modular execution, decentralized inference, and more
For those who joined us on the road? You’re already early. The mainnet era is coming, and it’s going to change everything.
