0G Network Airdrop Details
The first 0G airdrop went out at TGE on September 22, 2025. It rewarded holders of selected Discord roles, Galxe and Intract quest participants, Kaito Yappers and One Gravity NFT holders, followed by separate drops for testnet node runners and onchain testers. Those phases are closed. For some node allocation recipients, the next unlock has moved to September 22, 2027, with 1/24 of the remaining tokens released each month after that.
What remains is speculative. The 0G Foundation reserved $5 million in 0G for mainnet nodes and mainnet engagement, and said more incentives are planned for mainnet activity. It has not published criteria, a checker or a date.
Latest Update: Infinite AI (iAI) minting is open on iAI Finance, where staked iAI is designed to earn AI compute credits with a stated usage value above $1 per day, subject to product terms. To get started, stake 0G on iAI Finance to receive a0G, lock the a0G to mint iAI, then stake your iAI, with credits starting at the next 00:00 UTC.
How to Participate in the 0G Labs Airdrop
Step 1: Set Up an EVM Wallet
Install MetaMask, Rabby or another EVM wallet. Use a dedicated address so your 0G activity stays in one place and is easy to track.
Step 2: Get 0G Tokens
You need 0G for gas and for every activity below. Buy it on Bybit and withdraw on the 0G mainnet network. Already holding ETH or stablecoins on another chain? Use the widget below to bridge or swap into 0G.

Step 3: Swap and Bridge on the 0G Hub
Open the 0G Hub and connect your wallet. The Hub bridges from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Solana and Robinhood Chain, and routes swaps through Bond, Oku and Zia.
- Make a few swaps between 0G and stablecoins
- Check the Activity tab to confirm each transaction landed
- Keep a small 0G balance for gas, since bridges deliver the token you choose, not gas
Step 4: Stake 0G for a0G
Go to iai.finance and stake 0G to receive a0G, the liquid staking token powered by Ascend. a0G keeps earning staking rewards while it stays in your wallet. Unstaking back to 0G through Ascend takes up to 22 days.
Step 5: Mint or Buy iAI (Optional)
Lock a0G on iai.finance to mint iAI, then stake it to receive 1.271 compute credits per iAI each day. Public minting opens September 29, 2026 at 1,221 0G per iAI, and the rate rises with supply.
Step 6: Use 0G Apps
Spend credits or pay per use on 0G Private Computer and the 0G App. Then try a few live apps from the Discover page on the 0G Hub.
Step 7: Join the 0G Discord
Join the 0G Discord, verify your account and take part in community activity. Discord roles were one of the main eligibility groups in the first airdrop.
Claim Now Live for Node Runners
0G Network has enabled a partial token claim for users who previously set up and ran validator nodes during the testnet phase. Eligible participants can now check their eligibility using the official airdrop checker. Each qualifying user is entitled to 1,143 tokens.
Claim structure: One-third of the tokens will be available at the Token Generation Event (TGE), while the remaining two-thirds will vest linearly over a three-year period.

Conclusion
The first 0G airdrop is done, but $5 million in 0G is still reserved for mainnet engagement. Bridging through the 0G Hub, staking for a0G, using Private Computer and staying active on Discord cover what the foundation has pointed to so far.
