Warden and 0G Labs Partner To Bring AI Fully Onchain

Warden, the convergence stack of AI and blockchain, and Zero Gravity (0G) Labs, the first decentralized AI operating system, have announced a partnership to enable AI to become a native participant in the web3 ecosystem.

AI has reshaped industries across the globe, but its integration with blockchain has been constrained by technical and architectural limitations. The Warden x 0G partnership addresses these challenges by introducing new comprehensive infrastructure. It enables AI models to execute tasks and make decisions directly onchain, while leveraging decentralized data sources. This transforms AI from a peripheral technology into an integral player within blockchain ecosystems.

We’re thrilled to partner with Warden to bring AI inference fully onchain. Together, we’re enabling AI models to process data, automate transactions, and execute smart contracts seamlessly. We push the boundaries of decentralized AI, unlocking privacy-preserving, scalable solutions for projects across web3.

Michael Heinrich, CEO & Founder of 0G Labs

A New Paradigm for Onchain AI

Conventional AI systems, though powerful, remain isolated from blockchain networks, relying on centralized oracles and off-chain computation to interact with smart contracts. The Warden x 0G solution addresses this limitation by introducing a seamless onchain execution framework. This allows AI to process data and make decisions directly through smart contracts, while decentralized data storage provides access to richer, more diverse training sets. The framework also enables shared knowledge bases that enhance learning while preserving privacy and fosters native collaboration between multiple AI systems within blockchain environments.

The future of web3 will be shaped by AI that can truly operate onchain, by combining Warden's onchain inference capabilities with 0G's decentralized data infrastructure, we're creating an environment where AI can autonomously interact with smart contracts, access diverse datasets, and evolve through collective intelligence. This is the foundation for the next wave of sovereign AI agents.

Building a Multi-Layered AI Infrastructure

The partnership delivers a comprehensive stack designed for next-generation AI applications, addressing key layers of the blockchain ecosystem:

  1. Settlement LayerWarden's Layer 1 blockchain integrates with 0G's serving framework, enabling trustless settlement of AI inference transactions. This ensures a decentralized, transparent environment for AI services to be provided, consumed, and compensated.

  2. Execution LayerApplications built on 0G can leverage Warden's advanced smart contract platform to perform sophisticated AI operations, including real-time oracle data feeds, automated task scheduling, and built-in safety protocols for secure AI execution in complex DeFi ecosystems.

  3. Agent LayerThe collaboration will expand into developing advanced frameworks for autonomous AI agents. These agents will operate independently, yet maintain perfect coordination through blockchain consensus, setting the stage for a new era of collaborative, decentralized AI.

Unlocking the Potential of Onchain AI Applications

This multi-layered infrastructure introduces transformative capabilities for AI within blockchain ecosystems, enabling:

  • AI agents to execute sophisticated DeFi strategies across multiple chains.

  • Adaptive learning systems informed by decentralized market data.

  • Cross-chain AI operations with verified onchain consistency.

  • Collaborative AI networks that share insights while preserving data sovereignty.

  • Real-time AI services with trustless settlement and guaranteed execution.

With Warden and 0G's infrastructure, AI moves beyond simple automation to become a sovereign entity capable of operating, learning, and evolving autonomously in a fully decentralized environment. This partnership lays the foundation for a new era of AI integration in blockchain technology.
