Tokenomics & Utility

Supply and allocation at TGE

0G’s materials outline a 1,000,000,000 (1B) total token supply at TGE, with an initial allocation focused on community and growth:

• Community & Ecosystem Growth: 56%
  • Ecosystem: 28%
  • AI Alignment Node: 15%
  • Community Rewards: 13%
• Core Team, Contributors, and Advisors: 22%
• Backers: 22%

Allocations may change, but the stated design favors long‑term ecosystem participation. (0g.ai)

Unlocks and vesting

Team and backer allocations include a 12‑month lockup after TGE, then vest over 36 months (fully unlocking at 48 months). The project states that 21.32% of total supply unlocks at TGE from community‑related buckets (AI Alignment Nodes, Ecosystem Growth, Community Rewards), while the remainder vests over time to support sustainable growth.

Utility in the network

• Gas and fees: The 0G token is used to pay for transactions and smart‑contract execution on the 0G Labs blockchain. EVM compatibility means DeFi protocols can adopt it using the WrappedOGBase precompile for ERC‑20 style flows. (docs.0g.ai)
• Staking and validation: Validators stake to help secure consensus and collect rewards and fees. Shared staking models are described for securing multiple networks. (docs.0g.ai)
• AI Alignment Nodes: 15% of supply is reserved for AI Alignment Node rewards across the program. Documentation notes 175,500 node licenses, with a minimum of 854.7 tokens per license scheduled over time and claim mechanics tied to community votes. KYC is required to claim. (0g.ai)
• Ecosystem incentives: Grants, campaigns, and rewards are used to bootstrap builders and users across DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. The foundation also announced an $88.88M Ecosystem Program to accelerate AI‑native apps toward mainnet. (0g.ai)
