World’s First Decentralized AI Operating System (dAIOS)
This sale has ended
Intro
0G is leading a new era in AI as the first fully decentralized AI operating system.
Unlike traditional, closed AI systems constrained by centralized control and opaque processes, 0G empowers AI to operate as a public good—transparent, accessible, and resilient. This transformation allows high-performance, resource-heavy AI applications on-chain.
The 0G AI Alignment Node Sale on MocaList is designed to further promote AI for consumer applications. The node sale will decentralize the ownership of 0G’s AI Alignment Nodes to the wider Mocaverse and CoinList communities, maximizing its network utility and security.
MOCA Coin holders who staked their MOCA Coin on Mocaverse and CoinList Karma Users will have priority access to purchase 0G Node NFTs that contain node licenses and enable the owner to operate an AI alignment node, which allows them to earn token emissions for securing the network.
We invite you to join the node sale and help shape the future of decentralized AI today.
Key Highlights
The 0G operating system has 4 key components:
- 0G Storage: A decentralized storage network optimized for massive data loads.
- 0G DA: An infinitely scalable and programmable data availability layer designed for high-performance chains.
- 0G Serving: A versatile framework for any serving needs, such as fast data retrieval, AI inference, and model training.
- 0G Chain: The fastest modular chain purpose-built for AI applications. It is an L1, EVM compatible chain with 0G token as native gas token.

Tokenomics
| 0G AI Alignment Node Sale Tokenomics | |
|---|---|
| Total Token Supply | 1,000,000,000 0G |
| Amount allocated to node purchasers | 150,000,000 0G (15% of total token supply) |
| Vesting Schedule | 33%* of the tokens are claimable on TGE followed by a 36-month linear vesting schedule. TGE is expected to occur within Q1 of 2025. |
*33% of the tokens will be claimable at TGE. There will be a penalty for claiming and withdrawing tokens immediately to encourage long-term participation in the 0G ecosystem. The penalty applied to claimable tokens will be based on when the tokens from TGE are withdrawn as follows:
- Immediate: 50% penalty
- 90 days: 35% penalty
- 180 days: 0% penalty
Timelines and penalty percentages are subject to change at the sole discretion of the 0G Foundation.
The tokens collected from the penalty will be redistributed to the 0G Foundation treasury. The remainder of the tokens are linearly unlocked (monthly) over 36 months.
Node and Token Utility
Node Utility
By running an AI Alignment node, participants contribute to:
- Security: Ensuring other nodes (DA, storage, validator, serving, etc.) within 0G ecosystem are functioning properly.
- AI Model training: Detecting AI model drift which may occur during training.
- Decentralization: Ensuring the 0G network remains decentralized and resilient.
- Identification: Identifying corrupt or malicious data injection, AI agents/networks, API price feed mismatch so that timely intervention can occur prior to onchain execution.
- Security: Enhancing network security by verifying transactions and keeping AI accountable.
- AI Processing Power:Supporting AI computations and enabling on-chain AI services. Decentralized Data & AI Services: 0G token can be utilized for fees for storage, DA, and decentralized serving layer, and staking discount for above mentioned services.
- Node Operations: 0G token can be used to incentivize and reward node operators, who are essential to the network. Operators can earn rewards for running alignment nodes, validator nodes, and storage nodes in the form of 0G token.
- Network Security: The 0G token helps support and secure the network by incentivizing node operators to verify transactions and monitor AI model behavior. 0G token can be staked to validators for increased security of the network.
- Participation in Governance: 0G AI alignment node holders may have a role in governance, giving them influence over key decisions in the ecosystem, such as network upgrades and policy changes.
Token Utility
0G Chain: 0G token is the native gas token for the 0G Chain - L1, EVM compatible (ERC-20).
This flow can be captured as follows:
- Nodes on the 0G network sell services to buyers for 0G
- A portion of that 0G is returned to the 0G Treasury
- The remaining 0G is emitted to node operators providing services to the network
- Holders of 0G delegate their 0G to network validators
- Validators stake 0G to secure the network
- The 0G Treasury emits 0G to validators, which is passed through to delegates
Token Faucets
Faucets are the means by which 0G is emitted to network participants. The primary faucets for 0G incentivize crucial network operations and services.
| Faucets | Details |
|---|---|
| Validator Stake Delegation Incentives | 0G holders can stake and delegate to validator nodes who secure the 0G network, and receive 0G emissions. |
| Validator Operator Incentives | 0G network validators who adhere to best security practices receive 0G emissions, which they pass on to users delegating stake to them. |
| AI Alignment Node Operator Incentives | Alignment node owners receive 0G vested over time for running their node. |
| Storage Node Operator Incentives | Storage node operators receive 0G as an incentive for providing storage services to the network and for participating in Proof of Random Access mining to prove data availability. |
| Serving Node Operator Incentives | Serving node operators (AI inference or data retrieval) will receive 0G as an incentive for providing protocol services. |
| KPI-Based Inflation | 0G will utilize a variable supply model with token supply inflation to incentivize network security. |
Token Sinks
Sinks are the means by which 0G is used within the broader ecosystem.
| Sinks | Details |
|---|---|
| Token Burn | A percentage of network fees generated by securing the network sent to the Treasury are burnt to offset inflation. |
| Validator Stake Delegation | Network participants are incentivized by 0G emissions for staking and delegating their stake to validator nodes in order to secure the network. |
| Data Storage and Serving Requests | Users will pay fees for storage space, data availability, serving requests, data retrieval, and/or AI inference by paying protocol fees, some of which are allocated to storage node operators in 0G. |
| GPU and DePIN Services | 0G will be used for protocol fees for third-party resources like GPU clusters from projects in 0G’s Decentralized Service Network. |
| Transaction Fees | Users pay fees to transact on the network and incentivize their transactions to be validated. |
| Governance | Holding the 0G token will play a crucial role in the governance of the network and its treasury. |
| Validator Slash | Validator nodes acting maliciously may have their delegated stake slashed, and those slashed tokens may be burnt. |
| Liquidity Pools | 0G can be staked into pools for boosted APY and/or ecosystem airdrops (ex: incubator and infrastructure partners). "Claim and stake" option will be available upon TGE. |
