0G Monthly Tech Update: October 2025
With 0G’s Mainnet up and running and additional layers going live soon, October was focused on strengthening the core systems that developers, node operators, and AI agents rely on every day.
In short, this month was about operational maturity: making deployments smoother, improving reliability across compute and storage, and laying down the identity and interaction patterns that will define how agents live and work on 0G. And everywhere, the goal has been the same: to move from “possible” to “usable,” and from “usable” to “scalable”.
Here’s a look at what’s new, what’s improved, and what’s next!
Compute Network
We spent October strengthening the core engine that powers inference, fine-tuning, and decentralized compute orchestration across 0G. The focus was on refining contracts, simplifying provider operations, and increasing efficiency across the full settlement and verification pipeline.
A major contract upgrade introduced a settlement preview function that lets providers simulate transactions before execution, significantly reducing wasted gas from failed settlements. The update also refined how storage operations are handled within contracts, cutting unnecessary reads and writes to lower gas costs per job.
Beyond that, the team also:
- Improved Batch Settlement Logic to ensure that even if one user’s settlement fails, it no longer blocks the entire batch from processing.
- Simplified Provider Management via a reworked provider broker system, streamlining configuration files, adding stronger log management, and improving deployment flows.
- Enhanced Verification and TEE readiness to ensure more consistent validation of compute results.
- Ongoing bare-metal provider testing to validate performance under real workloads and ensure that operators with dedicated GPU racks can join the network without cloud dependency.
Together, these improvements make compute provisioning faster, cheaper, and more reliable for both developers and infrastructure providers.
AIverse
AIverse progressed on several fronts this month, focusing on secure execution environments and scalable deployment infrastructure for intelligent agents. The latest updates focused on secure compute environments, state consistency, and multi-instance deployment reliability.
A major milestone was the completion of full CPU CVM (Confidential Virtual Machine) testing on Alibaba Cloud, validating that AI agents can run inside trusted compute environments without sacrificing performance. This is critical groundwork for TEE-backed inference, where both users and developers must be able to trust that model logic and data remain protected.
Beyond that, the AIverse team also:
- Added distributed global variables and locks to fix concurrency issues for agents running across multiple instances.
- Continued TEE penetration testing, including H20 GPU verification, ensuring secure computation for future GPU-backed inference.
- Expanded tapp, the AIverse deployment layer, to support Docker Compose-based deployments and mounted config files in TEE CVM environments for more flexible setup.
- Made multiple post-launch AIverse optimizations, resolving stability issues and preparing for early partner integrations.
Node Sale & Restaking Systems
This month’s focus was on making node ownership and staking participation more transparent and automated. Key updates include:
- Released Part 2 - Ongoing Rewards on the Node Portal, where anyone running an AI Alignment Node can claim daily rewards
- 0G’s node sale airdrop distributions to all eligible participants.
- Restaking auto test bot deployments on Holesky and Galileo, running continuous validator simulations to validate slashing logic, delegation flows, and settlement predictability.
Storage & Developer Tooling
This month’s 0G storage updates focused on greater reliability and easier verification for developers working with uploaded datasets and checkpoint files. This included:
- A new version of StorageScan with improved error handling and real-time visual verification for uploaded data.
- Enhanced backend logic for large dataset handling, reducing upload interruptions and ensuring stable retrieval.
- Improved monitoring and logging for backend uploads, making provenance easier to confirm across compute and data layers.
What’s Next
October’s updates pushed the network toward a more self-sustaining, production-grade state, with active progress across infrastructure, compute, and app layers. As we approach the end of 2025, the focus will be on:
- Releasing 0G Compute to Mainnet
- Preparing for transferability of AI Alignment Node NFT licenses
- Scaling out products across the board
