0G Keynote Speech: The world's largest public chain built for AI
In order to help everyone better understand the past and present of 0G, the founding team of 0G gave a keynote speech on "0G - the world's largest public chain built for AI" . As the world's first decentralized AI operating system (deAIOS), 0G is committed to solving many problems in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), such as data credibility, model transparency, storage technology bottlenecks, etc. , promoting the rapid development of decentralized AI and breaking the limitations of traditional closed AI.
Behind the powerful ecological technology are experienced founding team members. The core members have created 2 unicorn companies, raised more than US$500 million in funds, and driven more than US$300 million in project revenue. The current team size has exceeded 50 people . Members have won 5 gold medals in the Informatics Olympiad and have 8 Ph.D.s in Computer Science (one of the world's top cryptographers). It is worth mentioning that the founding team members were incubated in YCombinator.
Afterwards, the speaker led everyone to understand the technical performance advantages and characteristics of 0G. Overall, 0G has outstanding performance in blockchain scalability and artificial intelligence, and has relatively outstanding technical advantages in Layer1 performance, artificial intelligence, distributed storage, security, etc. Its research paper also won multiple awards such as the IEEE ICBC 2022 Best Paper, and received $325 million in funding support from first-class investors for subsequent ecological construction and development.
Highlights of low-cost, high-performance data storage technology
Currently, 0G's test network has been launched and has demonstrated strong data processing capabilities, such as processing 10 million transactions per day, 6,000 storage nodes, over 100TB of data processing, and 600,000 wallets. 0G's storage technology has significant advantages. It uses technologies such as sharded storage, erasure coding, and parallel consensus to support fully on-chain AI data, provide verifiable data, models, and assets, and meet high-performance AI technology use cases , such as large-scale data sets, large models, and AI-generated assets. The test speed can reach 2GB/s; compared with Ethereum Danksharding, 0G's unlocking speed is about 50,000 times faster, and the storage cost per GB is 80% lower than AWS at a performance target of 5,000 nodes, which re-emphasizes the technical advantages of high performance and low cost.
Decentralized AI solution that supports horizontal expansion
In addition to high-performance storage technology processing capabilities, 0G also demonstrates strong momentum in the development of decentralized AI. 0G proposed a decentralized AI (deAIOS) architecture, which includes multiple technical hardware components such as service market (data, model, reasoning, computing, payment), network storage (dataset, model, asset), DePIN hardware, alignment nodes, computing network (training, RAG, agent) and chain (unlimited scalability), in order to build a complete decentralized AI ecosystem.
In this ecosystem, 0G supports horizontal expansion and is suitable for artificial intelligence workloads. Through technical means such as client DA blob, coding elimination, storage rewards, random quorum selection, smart contracts, etc. , it realizes decentralized server network storage, consensus validator, storage proof and other functions. The figure uses KZG to prove the validity of the coding, distributes decentralized data blocks to storage nodes, and uses zero-knowledge proof to ensure the security and reliability of the data . In addition, 0G has also launched a new AI agent NFT standard to further enrich its decentralized AI application scenarios .
Launching the 0G ecosystem for future incubation plans
As mentioned above, 0G has obtained US$325 million in funding support from first-class investors for subsequent ecological construction and development. Investors include Santiago, CoachK, Joe Takayama, Smokey, Andy-therollup, Jake Choi, CoinBureau, LastKnight and other well-known industry investors. The current ecological construction has also covered multiple fields such as ZK & Interop, Restaking, GPU, Indexing & Oracles, AI, Data gen, Clean & Label, Inference, Dapps & Agents , and jointly launched an incubator with OnePiece Labs to promote the development of ecological construction.
Looking to the future, 0G mentioned in his speech that it will be committed to achieving technical functions such as unlimited scalability, data availability, AI alignment and super alignment, AI optimization intelligent models, etc. , to provide 0G storage for the Gen AI generation to meet the application needs of future artificial intelligence, to demonstrate the technical vision of Onchain AI (non-cheating and truly open AI) , and to create the largest ecosystem in the field of AI X Web3.
