About 0G
0G (0G) is the native asset of the 0G Network, a modular AI infrastructure bringing storage, compute, data availability and an EVM L1 on-chain. The token is used to stake validators, fund storage endowments rewarded via Proof of Random Access, pay for AI compute on a pay-as-you-go basis, and cover DA fees. Components can be adopted independently across EVM and non-EVM stacks. The project is led by founders Michael Heinrich, Ming Wu, Fan Long and Thomas Yao, whose backgrounds span AI systems, security, research and venture.
0G (short for Zero Gravity) is the native token of the 0G Network, a decentralised AI infrastructure layer built to support the execution, storage, availability and verification of AI workloads on-chain. The project aims to address the performance and scalability limits that have historically hindered effective integration of AI with blockchain.
The 0G token operates within a modular architecture, functioning as a multi-purpose utility and staking asset across several key components:
- 0G Chain: A modular, high-throughput EVM-compatible L1 chain designed for AI applications.
- 0G Storage: A decentralised storage layer for large AI datasets, supporting both mutable and immutable data.
- 0G Compute: A decentralised compute marketplace for running AI models and other workloads on distributed GPU infrastructure.
- 0G DA: A scalable data availability network for rollups, AI networks and high-volume blockchain applications.
Each component is designed to operate independently, allowing the 0G token to be used flexibly across different environments.
- Staking & validation: Validators stake 0G to participate in consensus across one or more networks and earn block and fee rewards.
- Storage payments & incentives: Users fund storage with 0G; storage nodes earn over time by proving data accessibility (e.g., via Proof of Random Access).
- Compute fees: Pay-as-you-go inference, fine-tuning or training is paid in 0G, with settlement handled by smart contracts.
- Data availability fees: Projects use 0G to pay for data availability guarantees for rollups and other high-throughput use cases.
0G was founded by a team of builders, researchers and strategists with backgrounds in blockchain, AI, systems engineering and venture:
Michael Heinrich – Co-Founder & CEO Background spanning software development, technical product management and business strategy. Previously scaled a Web2 company to significant size, bringing operational leadership to 0G.
Ming Wu – Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Extensive R&D experience from Microsoft Research Asia focused on distributed systems, storage, computation and AI platforms. Leads the technical foundation of 0G.
Fan Long – Co-Founder & Chief Strategy & Security Officer (CSSO) Academic research in system security and blockchain combined with entrepreneurial experience. Guides strategy and security for the network.
Thomas Yao – Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer (CBO) Background in physics, self-driving technology and venture capital, including early blockchain investments. Oversees business strategy, partnerships and growth.
