0G’s Compute Finance Suite Rolls Out Public Minting of AI Compute Token Infinite AI (iAI)

SINGAPORE, October 5, 2026 — 0G, a blockchain and AI infrastructure provider, officially launched its “Compute Finance” ecosystem from September 21 to 29, debuting a suite of products including the 0G Hub, Comfy agent, token launchpad, and public minting for its AI compute token Infinite AI (iAI).

During its launch window, the 0G Private Computer platform—designed for private, verifiable AI inference—surpassed 400 billion AI inference tokens and served over 30 million inference requests across more than 100 AI models from more than 45,000 unique users. These figures come from publicly accessible statistics as of October 5, 2026.([theblock.co](https://www.theblock.co/sponsored/2026-10-05-0g-private-computer-passes-400-billion-tokens-as-compute-finance-goes-live-417714?utm_source=openai))

Users can now access AI compute credits via a tokenized model: by staking 0G tokens through the Ascend liquid staking product to receive a0G, then minting and staking iAI. Early parameters suggest that staked iAI entitles holders to over $1 per day in compute credit across supported 0G AI services. Public minting of iAI began on September 29, 2026 at 09:00 UTC, and within seven hours, over 3,800 iAI were minted by approximately 667 unique wallets.([theblock.co](https://www.theblock.co/sponsored/2026-10-05-0g-private-computer-passes-400-billion-tokens-as-compute-finance-goes-live-417714?utm_source=openai))

In addition to token functionality, the 0G Hub—a unified interface launched September 22—enables users to bridge assets from Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Robinhood Chain, swap within the 0G ecosystem, and access AI apps. Development activity also included the public debut of the Comfy agent and token launchpad on September 28, alongside an all-time high of $3.9 million in daily trading volume on 0G's decentralized exchanges, recorded September 29 per DefiLlama data.([theblock.co](https://www.theblock.co/sponsored/2026-10-05-0g-private-computer-passes-400-billion-tokens-as-compute-finance-goes-live-417714?utm_source=openai))

Michael Heinrich, co-founder and CEO of 0G, framed the Compute Finance model as a shift from subscription-based AI access toward tokenized ownership. "Compute stops being a monthly bill and becomes something you hold and use," he wrote on X on September 28. At Korea Blockchain Week, he further emphasized that future agentic economies will necessitate verifiable infrastructure, cautioning against trust models based solely on provider assurances.([theblock.co](https://www.theblock.co/sponsored/2026-10-05-0g-private-computer-passes-400-billion-tokens-as-compute-finance-goes-live-417714?utm_source=openai))

The rollout marks a significant step in the convergence of tokenized finance and AI utility, positioning 0G as a potential trust layer for AI services. With substantial on-chain activity and a novel compute-as-asset model, the initiative highlights emerging ways for decentralized networks to monetize AI usage.
