## Summary

Michael Heinrich, co‑founder and CEO of 0G, describes a decentralized AI infrastructure stack that combines verifiable compute, encrypted storage, private inference and an AI‑native EVM‑compatible Layer 1 blockchain. The platform is meant to act as a trust layer so that AI workloads can be executed, stored and audited without relying solely on centralized providers.

Today the network runs 13 providers serving hundreds of models through a single endpoint, has processed more than 373 billion tokens and handled 27 million inference requests. It has recorded more than 24.9 million TEE proofs, about 43,000 wallets have paid for inference and more than 300 projects are built on 0G, including Ghast AI which has pushed more than 100 billion tokens. The 0GM‑1.0 model is the second most used model on the network over the past 30 days, behind DeepSeek. Under its Compute Finance scheme users stake 0G, mint iAI and can earn compute credits worth more than $1 per day.

He notes that the four largest hyperscalers committed more than $500 billion to AI capital expenditure in 2025 and are on a run rate to double that this year, making compute a strategic asset comparable to capital or energy. Decentralized marketplaces aim to provide price discovery, elasticity and no lock‑in, complementing hyperscalers while offering verifiable, auditable compute.

## Key points

- 13 providers serve hundreds of models via a single endpoint, processing more than 373 billion tokens and 27 million inference requests.
- About 43,000 wallets have paid for inference and more than 300 projects, including Ghast AI with more than 100 billion tokens.
- 0G’s Compute Finance lets users stake 0G, mint iAI and earn compute credits worth more than $1 per day.

## Why it matters

A verifiable, decentralized compute marketplace could lower AI costs, reduce lock‑in to hyperscalers, and enable a financial layer for compute, reshaping AI infrastructure and economics.
