At the beginning of the year, we took you behind the scenes of 0G’s groundbreaking developments, showcasing how its compute network, service marketplace, and developer-friendly blockchain are revolutionizing the fusion of AI and Web3. Since then, 0G has been on a roll, delivering exciting updates and laying the groundwork for a transformative 2025. Let’s recap what’s happened so far and dive into the major milestones and chain upgrades you can expect in the first half of this year.
2024 Highlights: Setting the Stage
This year, 0G has rolled out a series of game-changing initiatives:
- 0G Hub: A centralized portal for dApps, analytics, and developer tools.
- $88.88M Ecosystem Program: Backed by top investors and partners to fuel growth.
- Guild on 0G: A builder program with over $8.88M in prizes, grants, and gas credits.
- One Gravity NFTs: Exclusive access passes that evolve with 0G’s scaling journey.
- StorageScan Miner Rewards: Real-time analytics for Turbo and Standard nodes.
- Zer0 Integration: A smart DEX leveraging AI for dynamic liquidity pools.
- ERC-7857 Token Standard: Enabling composable, transferable iNFT AI agents.
- Tokenomics Reveal: A community-first approach to sustainable growth.
But this is just the warm-up. In H1 2025, 0G is gearing up to launch new features, infrastructural enhancements, and opportunities to engage as we co-build the future of decentralized AI. Here’s what’s on the horizon.
Expanding the AI Agent Ecosystem
AI-powered applications thrive on robust infrastructure, and 0G is delivering just that.
- AIverse: No-Code AI Agent Launchpad & Marketplace
AIverse will be 0G’s flagship decentralized marketplace for AI agents, represented as iNFTs (Intelligent NFTs). No coding skills? No problem—users can design and deploy agents with auto-generated PFPs and nested “agent within agent” capabilities. Future updates will add plug-ins for connecting to external dApps and more advanced features. With the Q2 2025 mainnet launch, iNFTs will become fully transferable, unlocking trading and interoperability like never before. Early access details are coming soon—watch this space! - Battle of Agents: Opinionated, Evolvable AI
This gamified dApp, built on AIverse, introduces permissionless AI interactions and betting markets featuring Web3 personalities and evolutionary AI mechanics. Full details are just weeks away, promising a fun, innovative proof of concept for 0G’s AI ecosystem.
Scaling Infrastructure & Performance
Decentralized AI demands massive computation and speed—something 0G is custom-built to handle.
- 0G Chain Upgrades
The next version of the 0G blockchain will boost transactions per second (TPS) from 3,000 to 10,000—a ~10x leap—making it one of Web3’s fastest AI-optimized chains. Optimized for inference workloads and high-frequency transactions, it’ll also feature a public benchmarking repo (evmchainbench) for transparent performance testing. - Testnet to Mainnet Transition
With 2.5M unique wallets, 354.2M transactions, and 529.3k smart contracts on its testnet, 0G is battle-tested and ready for prime time. An enhanced testnet is rolling out soon, paving the way for a mainnet launch just weeks away in Q2 2025. This milestone will optimize critical infrastructure for real-world AI-Web3 applications, driving adoption across users, developers, and enterprises. - Alignment Node Staking & Rewards Dashboard
Running an AI Alignment Node is about to get easier and more lucrative. A new dashboard will offer staking, delegation, and reward tracking with instant claims at TGE (33% of lifetime rewards), daily compounding rewards, and a Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) model for effortless delegation.
Enhancing Cross-Chain Liquidity & Staking
For an AI-native blockchain to succeed, it needs fluid token movement and staking incentives—0G is delivering both.
- Cross-Chain Bridge
Powered by Chainlink’s CCIP, this bridge integrates directly into the 0G Hub, enabling seamless asset transfers between 0G, Ethereum, and other major chains. It’ll reduce friction for liquidity inflows and empower AI dApps to operate across networks. - Staking Dashboard & Explorer
A user-friendly staking dashboard will streamline delegation to validators, integrate with the 0G Hub, and feature an airdrop claim + stake option to encourage long-term holding—all while strengthening the validator network with robust incentives.
The Bigger Picture: Building the AI Future
H1 2025 is about laying the foundation for a thriving on-chain AI economy. From AIverse’s no-code marketplace to a lightning-fast chain and seamless staking, 0G is positioning itself as the go-to platform for decentralized AI innovation. But the momentum doesn’t stop here—Q3 will bring AIverse expansions, a service marketplace for inference and training, and a Galxe campaign to boost mainnet adoption. By Q4, expect refined marketplaces and ecosystem-wide upgrades.
