0G Labs has announced its Guild on 0G 2.0 for Web3 builders. Launched on November 20, 2025, the builder-focused funding program is set to supercharge decentralized AI (dAI) development on the 0G blockchain. Building on the success of its predecessor, which distributed from an $8.88M grant pool, Guild 2.0 shifts gears toward rapid, execution-oriented support for teams crafting real-world applications.
Guild 2.0 stands out by its swift approvals, which come in as little as 1-2 weeks, emphasizing milestones and practical integration with 0G’s modular infrastructure. This includes verifiable storage for tamper-proof data, high-throughput compute, and on-chain AI inference, perfect for scaling dAI without the bottlenecks of traditional chains.
The current program draws from 0G’s $325M+ funding war chest and partnerships with giants like Alibaba and Optimism, positioning it as a launchpad for the “machine economy.”
Focus areas span the hottest trends in dAI: AI agents and agentic infrastructure for autonomous on-chain systems; DeFi and payments with secure, AI-enhanced liquidity; prediction markets leveraging verifiable forecasts; DeSci for privacy-first scientific data processing; and gaming with intelligent NFTs that boast memory and personality. Whether you are building federated learning tools, decentralized compute marketplaces, or novel AI oracles, if it leverages 0G’s tech stack, you’re in.
Eligibility is inclusive and open to global builders, teams, or individuals at any stage, from prototypes to production. No geographic barriers, though sanctioned regions are excluded for compliance. African innovators are explicitly welcome, aligning with 0G’s vision of worldwide participation. Grants range from $10K to over $1M, supplemented by mentorship, marketing boosts, and access to 0G’s GPU marketplace.
Tying into hackathons, Guild 2.0 builds on 0G’s sponsorships at events like ETHGlobal 2025 and TBW Hackathon, where prizes were awarded for innovations in custom rollups and dAI tools. Past spotlights include projects like zer0’s AI agent factories and Leea Labs’ verifiable oracles, showcasing over 300 ecosystem integrations via GitHub’s Awesome 0G repo.
