0G Private Computer Passes 400 Billion Tokens as Compute Finance Goes Live
SINGAPORE, October 5, 2026 - Between September 21 and September 29, 0G rolled out a run of launches built around what it calls Compute Finance. w0G expanded to Ethereum, Solana, Base and Robinhood Chain, the 0G Hub went live, the Comfy agent and token launchpad opened, and public minting began for Infinite AI (iAI), a compute-focused digital asset in the 0G ecosystem.
Over the same weeks, 0G Private Computer, a platform for private, verifiable AI, passed 400 billion tokens of AI inference. As of October 5, it had served more than 30 million inference requests from over 45,000 unique users across more than 100 models, according to its public stats page.
Compute Finance goes live
Access to Private Computer is moving beyond a monthly bill. Compute credits can be accessed through products in the 0G ecosystem, including Ascend, 0G's liquid staking product, and Infinite AI (iAI), a compute-focused digital asset. Credits are intended solely for eligible AI services, are not cash, and are subject to applicable product terms and policies.
Users stake 0G through Ascend and receive a0G, use a0G to mint iAI, then stake eligible iAI. Under the initial parameters, eligible staked iAI is designed to receive compute credits with a stated usage value of more than $1 per day across supported 0G AI services, with credit amounts, eligibility, availability and supported uses subject to applicable product terms of service and policies, which are subject to change.
Public minting opened on iai.finance on September 29 at 09:00 UTC. Seven hours in, more than 3,800 iAI had been minted by the public, according to figures 0G published that day, and onchain data shows 667 wallets minted in that first stretch. Minting iAI is designed to lock the underlying collateral, with burning providing a mechanism to unlock it, subject to applicable product terms.
Activity across the ecosystem
On September 28, the Comfy agent and token launchpad opened in the 0G ecosystem. Users can launch a token on 0G there with zero gas fees, and more than 170 launches went live in its first 24 hours, based on onchain data.
Decentralized exchanges on 0G recorded about $3.9 million in volume on September 29, an all-time daily high per DefiLlama.
The case for a trust layer
On 0G Private Computer, the verified tier is designed so each response can be checked against the model that was requested, and the private tier runs models inside TEE enclaves that publish hardware attestations anyone can check. The platform had produced more than 27 million TEE attestation proofs as of October 5.
At Korea Blockchain Week, Michael Heinrich, Co-Founder and CEO of 0G, took the 0G Stage on September 30 to argue that a trillion-dollar agentic economy will need a trust layer for AI. On October 1, he joined a roundtable at HSC Seoul on the same theme and spoke at House of AI Seoul that evening.
"'Just trust me, I've aligned the AI' is not a security model," Heinrich said. If an agent is spending your money, he argued, you should be able to verify what it ran for yourself.
One page to get started
The 0G Hub, live since September 22, gives users one page to bridge in from major networks, swap on 0G and find apps to try.
0G held 0G Dev Day in Singapore on October 5.
About 0G
0G is the trust layer for AI and a frontier AI lab. It trains its own foundation models, including the 0GM series, and builds the harness, safety, and verification layers around them. Its stack combines these with private compute, encrypted storage, and an AI-native EVM L1 chain, designed to enable AI work, from inference to agent actions, to be verified and audited.

Paramount completes massive merger with Warner Bros., forming Hollywood giant Skydance
The merged company’s total debt amounts to approximately $80 billion. David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz face a $6 billion cost-cutting target. The senior management teams at CNN and CBS News will remain unchanged. Anzar Mehraj / Harshita Mary Varghese, Reuters, October 6 — Paramount-Skydance (PSKY.O) completed its $110 billion blockbuster acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD.O) on Tuesday, giving rise to a Hollywood giant named Skydance and placing CEO David Ellison in charge of one of the world’s largest entertainment companies. The deal combines the studios behind “Mission Impossible”, “Harry Potter”, and DC Films with major TV and streaming networks such as CBS, CNN, Paramount+, and HBO Max, creating a massive entertainment company encompassing film, television, and news. On Tuesday, the merged company’s stock moved from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange, trading under the ticker “SKYD”. A settlement agreement reached with a coalition of several US states and the Hollywood writers’ union (link) cleared one of the main legal obstacles to this landmark media merger. The move comes as Hollywood faces declining cable TV subscriptions, costly battles over streaming viewers, and ongoing union pressure regarding jobs and protections for creative workers. Last week, Ellison stated (link) that the choice of the name “Skydance” was intended to preserve the independent identities of the Paramount and Warner Bros. studios, rather than folding them into a new brand. However, analysts note that the name reinforces Ellison’s control, highlighting that some of Hollywood’s most iconic brands now answer to him and providing a platform for his own strategies and culture. In just 16 years, Skydance has evolved from an independent studio into a central player in one of Hollywood’s most powerful deals. Founded in 2010 by the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, it gained prominence as the financier and producer behind Paramount’s blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick”. After merging with Paramount last year (link), Skydance set its sights on Warner Bros., not only engaging in a fierce bidding war with Netflix (NFLX.O) but also attracting interest from other potential buyers, including Comcast (CMCSA.O). Broader Hollywood ambitions Ellison has appointed former Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz as Skydance’s co-CEO, responsible for day-to-day operations and integration, while Ellison will oversee creative direction and overall strategy. The two must consolidate the two giant companies while achieving the planned $6 billion in cost savings. Paramount stated that a significant portion would come from “non-labor costs”—specifically, integrating the streaming technology and cloud service providers of both companies. However, such wide-ranging cuts are expected to impact jobs across Hollywood. The merged company is projected to carry around $80 billion in debt, putting pressure on Ellison to develop streaming business, sustain cash flow from cable networks, and boost box office performance. CNN President Mark Thompson and CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss will continue in their leadership roles at Skydance (link).
