0G is the first decentralized AI protocol (AIP). A modular, infinitely-scalable layer 1, 0G makes possible decentralized AI apps to bring about a truly democratized future of intelligence.
With a modular, high-performance architecture and breakthrough innovations in scalability, data availability, and compute, 0G is set to redefine how AI operates onchain.

Stanford graduate students Michael Heinrich and Thomas Yao first connected through shared ambitions. After Michael founded Garten (raising $100M+) and Thomas pursued early-stage investing with Web3 focus, their paths converged again during the pandemic.
As the pandemic slowed Michael's food business, the two reconnected over Web3. Thomas, an early Conflux investor, introduced Michael to future 0G co-founders Ming Wu and Fan Long from Conflux.
Through extensive discussions with blockchain and AI experts, they identified data availability as Web3's critical challenge. They aligned on creating a modular AI chain with an infinitely scalable data availability layer.
Data availability represented a fundamental barrier limiting blockchain functionality through slow transactions and growing storage demands that hindered scalability.
0G emerged with a focused mission: building the first modular AI chain to transform blockchain's data handling capabilities for the AI era—not just incremental improvement but a paradigm shift enabling previously impossible transaction speeds and scale.
