0G Sets Sept. 29 Launch for Onchain AI Compute Asset iAI
The proposed system would let users stake 0G, mint iAI and receive credits for supported AI services, with usage value set above $1 per day under initial parameters.
0G has introduced a framework that would turn access to AI computing services into onchain assets, with its Infinite AI (iAI) product scheduled to launch Sept. 29 through the Ascend platform.
The proposed system, called Compute Finance, starts with users staking 0G through Ascend to receive a liquid-staking asset called a0G. Users are expected to mint iAI with a0G and stake eligible iAI to receive compute credits.
The credits are intended for supported 0G products, including 0G Private Computer and the 0G App. 0G Private Computer provides access to more than 100 AI models.
Under the initial parameters, eligible staked iAI is designed to receive compute credits with a usage value of more than $1 per day. The credits can be used only for supported 0G AI services and cannot be redeemed for cash.
The structure separates access to computing services from conventional financial returns. The credits do not represent interest, dividends or a guaranteed return, and their stated value reflects access to computing services rather than cash income.
The framework presents compute as an onchain asset that can be used within a defined group of AI products. Its initial utility therefore depends on access to 0G services, eligibility requirements and the terms governing each product.
Ascend, iAI and related credits may not be available in all jurisdictions. Participation will also be subject to eligibility criteria and product terms.
The next scheduled step is the iAI launch through Ascend on Sept. 29.
