  • 0G Labs is creating a decentralized AI Operating System, dAIOS, that leverages blockchain technology to improve AI applications.
  • The dAIOS platform features a modular data-availability system that distinguishes data storage from processing.

Recently, a Web 3 and blockchain company, Zero Gravity Labs Inc. (0G Labs) has secured an additional USD 40 million in seed funding to speed up the development of its decentralized AI Operating System. The company also secured a commitment for a USD 250 million liquid line token purchase.

Established in 2023, 0G Labs is working on a decentralized AI Operating System, dAIOS, which leverages blockchain technology to improve AI applications. The platform is designed to decentralize AI processing while prioritizing data privacy, security, and transparent governance, with the aim of addressing increasing concerns about data centralization and control.

The company’s platform is built around a high-speed data availability layer optimized for handling AI workloads on-chain. This infrastructure supports data throughput of up to 50 gigabits per second, enabling efficient processing of large datasets without typical bottlenecks. Its scalability ensures that the platform can manage increasingly complex AI computations while maintaining high performance.

The dAIOS platform incorporates a modular data-availability system that separates data storage from processing. This modular approach optimizes storage and guarantees reliable, efficient access to data for AI-driven applications. By decentralizing data availability, 0G Labs claims the system offers a more resilient and scalable foundation for AI processes.

To improve interoperability, 0G Labs is creating a “Uni-Chain” architecture that links multiple blockchain networks. This architecture will enable decentralized applications to interact seamlessly, broadening the ecosystem’s reach with a unified transaction layer, allowing users to utilize various networks without needing separate wallets.

Along with infrastructure development, the platform features an inference layer that supports on-chain AI computations. This layer enables real-time data analysis directly on the blockchain, minimizing latency and accelerating decision-making. By decentralizing AI inference, the platform ensures that insights are secure, verifiable, and resistant to censorship.

This new funding is in addition to the USD 35 million in seed capital 0G Labs secured in March.

The extensive list of investors involved in the funding rounds includes Hack VC, Delphi Digital, OKX Ventures Ltd., Samsung Next Fund, Bankless Ventures, Yat Siu, Animoca Brands Corp. Ltd., Stanford Blockchain Fund, Awaken Finance Ltd., Dao5 Foundation, Coinbureau Ltd., Alchemy Insights Inc., Gumi Inc., No Limits Holdings Ltd., Alumni Ventures Group, Master Ventures Ltd., Longhash Ventures Ltd., IBC Group Ltd., Polygon, Deadalus Investment Management, NGC Ventures Ltd., Nounce Capital, Kudasai Capital Ltd., Blockdaemon Inc., Foresight Ventures Ltd., Blue Pool Capital Ltd., Bolts Technology Ltd., Orange Dao, and Alliance Dao Ltd.

“AI is transforming every facet of our lives, but its development has been largely centralized, raising concerns about transparency and control. With dAIOS, we’re building an open and decentralized AI Operating System that ensures security, transparency and accessibility. This funding will allow us to accelerate our mission,” said Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of 0G Labs, Michael Heinrich.
