0G Private Computer Passes 400 Billion Tokens as Compute Finance Goes Live

SINGAPORE, October 5, 2026 - Between September 21 and September 29, 0G rolled out a run of launches built around what it calls Compute Finance. w0G expanded to Ethereum, Solana, Base and Robinhood Chain, the 0G Hub went live, the Comfy agent and token launchpad opened, and public minting began for Infinite AI (iAI), a compute-focused digital asset in the 0G ecosystem.

Over the same weeks, 0G Private Computer, a platform for private, verifiable AI, passed 400 billion tokens of AI inference. As of October 5, it had served more than 30 million inference requests from over 45,000 unique users across more than 100 models, according to its public stats page.

Compute Finance goes live

Access to Private Computer is moving beyond a monthly bill. Compute credits can be accessed through products in the 0G ecosystem, including Ascend, 0G's liquid staking product, and Infinite AI (iAI), a compute-focused digital asset. Credits are intended solely for eligible AI services, are not cash, and are subject to applicable product terms and policies.

Users stake 0G through Ascend and receive a0G, use a0G to mint iAI, then stake eligible iAI. Under the initial parameters, eligible staked iAI is designed to receive compute credits with a stated usage value of more than $1 per day across supported 0G AI services, with credit amounts, eligibility, availability and supported uses subject to applicable product terms of service and policies, which are subject to change.

Public minting opened on iai.finance on September 29 at 09:00 UTC. Seven hours in, more than 3,800 iAI had been minted by the public, according to figures 0G published that day, and onchain data shows 667 wallets minted in that first stretch. Minting iAI is designed to lock the underlying collateral, with burning providing a mechanism to unlock it, subject to applicable product terms.

Michael Heinrich, Co-Founder and CEO of 0G, explained the design on X the day before minting opened. "What I like most about this design: compute stops being a monthly bill and becomes something you hold and use," he wrote. "If AI is going to be a public good, people should be able to hold their access to it."

Activity across the ecosystem

On September 28, the Comfy agent and token launchpad opened in the 0G ecosystem. Users can launch a token on 0G there with zero gas fees, and more than 170 launches went live in its first 24 hours, based on onchain data.

Decentralized exchanges on 0G recorded about $3.9 million in volume on September 29, an all-time daily high per DefiLlama.

The case for a trust layer

On 0G Private Computer, the verified tier is designed so each response can be checked against the model that was requested, and the private tier runs models inside TEE enclaves that publish hardware attestations anyone can check. The platform had produced more than 27 million TEE attestation proofs as of October 5.

At Korea Blockchain Week, Michael Heinrich, Co-Founder and CEO of 0G, took the 0G Stage on September 30 to argue that a trillion-dollar agentic economy will need a trust layer for AI. On October 1, he joined a roundtable at HSC Seoul on the same theme and spoke at House of AI Seoul that evening.

"'Just trust me, I've aligned the AI' is not a security model," Heinrich said. If an agent is spending your money, he argued, you should be able to verify what it ran for yourself.

One page to get started

The 0G Hub, live since September 22, gives users one page to bridge in from major networks, swap on 0G and find apps to try.

0G held 0G Dev Day in Singapore on October 5.

About 0G

0G is the trust layer for AI and a frontier AI lab. It trains its own foundation models, including the 0GM series, and builds the harness, safety, and verification layers around them. Its stack combines these with private compute, encrypted storage, and an AI-native EVM L1 chain, designed to enable AI work, from inference to agent actions, to be verified and audited.
