0G Labs, also known as ZeroGravity, is focused on creating a modular AI blockchain that allows developers to select components for building blockchain systems or applications. This modularity approach offers the flexibility to configure blockchain components according to specific needs, improving performance and reducing costs. Unlike monolithic blockchains like Ethereum, which integrate data and consensus layers into a single structure, modular blockchains provide more customization and scalability.


The team at 0G Labs includes co-founders Michael Heinrich, Ming Wu, Fan Long, and Thomas Yao. Heinrich previously founded garten, a company offering workplace wellness services, while Wu and Long were part of the founding team at Conflux Network, and Yao was a founding partner at IMO Ventures.


The new funding will be used to hire engineers and build out 0G Labs' market functionality, community, and ecosystem. The company plans to launch its blockchain on the mainnet by the third quarter of this year. The modular AI blockchain developed by 0G Labs aims to achieve high throughput, with a target rate of 50 Gbps, compared to competitors' 1.5 MBps. This high throughput is essential for applications like on-chain AI and gaming, which require fast data processing to be cost-effective.
