0G Foundation (@0G_Foundation): As we get closer to mainnet, the 0G Foundation has released the last set of pre-mainnet updates on AI Alignment Nodes.

As we get closer to mainnet, the 0G Foundation has released the last set of pre-mainnet updates on AI Alignment Nodes. These new updates cover Distribution Schedule & Eligibility, as well as Extra Allocations via Token Redistributions. 1. What are AI Alignment Nodes? The Backbone of 0G’s AI-Verified Infrastructure On the world’s largest AI Layer 1 and decentralized operating system, AI Alignment Nodes play a critical role. Unlike traditional blockchain nodes that mainly validate blocks, Alignment Nodes serve as independent verifiers across 0G’s architecture. They continuously monitor validator, storage, and DA nodes to ensure that both system operations and AI outputs remain accurate, reliable, and aligned with intended behavior. In short: they’re the backbone of trust in decentralized AI. Here is a breakdown of what they do: → Protocol Monitoring – Verify that validator, storage, and security nodes comply with network rules. → AI Model Monitoring – Track AI model alignment and detect unintended behavior. → Network Security – Safeguard the ecosystem by flagging deviations and upholding ethical standards. → Economic & Governance Roles – Earn rewards and participate in governance, shaping the network’s future.

Distribution Schedule & Eligibility Mainnet marks the start of reward distribution for AI Alignment Nodes. If you are a node owner or operator, here's what you need to know to claim rewards, maximize value, and help build the future of decentralized AI. In order to claim your AI Alignment Node rewards, please be sure to KYC (https://t.co/A28UB2wx73) if you haven't already done so. AI Alignment Node rewards will be split into two parts: → Part 1: These rewards are exclusive to node owners. You don't need to run your node to access these tokens, but when and how you claim will determine how much you receive. → Part 2: Both node owners and operators are eligible for ongoing rewards from 0G's token distribution schedule. To qualify for these rewards, your node must be running actively. To understand the AI Alignment Node Distribution Schedule & Eligibility, read the full blog 👇 https://t.co/oQomc4BNwE 3. Extra Allocations via Token Redistributions: 0G's AI Alignment Node sale marked a significant milestone for the ecosystem. A total of 175,500 node licenses were issued, with 15% of the $0G total supply (150M tokens) dedicated to node rewards. Every node holder receives guaranteed rewards per the distribution schedule. The 0G Foundation is committing to redistributing 37M $0G tokens from unsold AI Alignment Nodes in 2 phases. → Phase 1: Owners who keep more of their initial allocation for longer. Rewards will be calculated based on how early you claimed and the size of your unclaimed amount. → Phase 2: Owners with at least one active node that stake tokens from their wallet will also qualify for a share of the redistribution pool.
