Status (October 2026): The 0G token launched with 0G’s Aristotle mainnet on September 22, 2025, and its community airdrop is over. The 0G Foundation opened claims at launch for eligible community members who had registered on its airdrop portal, including holders of certain Discord roles, Galxe and Intract quest participants, Kaito Yappers and One Gravity NFT holders. We have not found a new 0G airdrop announced since. Sources: 0G blog, crypto.news.

Disclaimer: Crypto airdrops are promotional events where tokens are distributed to existing holders of a cryptocurrency or to individuals who meet certain criteria. While airdrops can be a way to acquire tokens at no cost, they also involve risks. There’s no guarantee that the airdropped tokens will increase in value, and there may be associated fees or requirements. Additionally, airdrops can be susceptible to scams and phishing attempts. Always exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any airdrop opportunity before participating.
What Is 0G Labs?
0G Labs, also known as Zero Gravity Labs, is a Web3 infrastructure company founded in 2023, focused on building the first decentralized AI Operating System (dAIOS) to power AI-driven decentralized applications (dApps).
The platform integrates blockchain technology with AI to address challenges such as data centralization, privacy, and transparency, offering a modular architecture with components including a high-speed Data Availability (DA) layer, decentralized storage, compute resources, and a fast, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain called 0G Chain.
With a throughput of up to 50 gigabits per second, 0G Labs enables scalable, secure, and cost-efficient AI workloads on-chain, supporting use cases like on-chain AI, gaming, and DeFi.
0G Labs Raises $325 Million
The company has raised $325 million, including a $35 million pre-seed round and a $40 million seed round, with a $250 million token purchase commitment, backed by investors such as Hack VC, Delphi Digital, and Animoca Brands. Through initiatives like the Newton testnet and an $88 million Ecosystem Growth Program, 0G Labs fosters a community-driven ecosystem, aiming to make AI a public good with transparent governance and user-owned data.
The funding will drive the development of on-chain AI capabilities, enabling real-time, secure, and verifiable computations for applications that require high data privacy and transparent governance.
How The 0G Airdrop Worked
To foster community engagement and reward early adopters, 0G Labs ran testnet activities and social campaigns before its token launch. Galxe and Intract quests and some Discord roles later counted toward the September 2025 airdrop.
The airdrop was designed to distribute the native $0G token to participants who actively contributed to the testnet, ran nodes, or engaged in community tasks, aligning with the project’s goal of decentralizing AI infrastructure. When it announced the airdrop in September 2025, 0G said it would share details later on how it would recognize testnet participants.
These were the Galileo testnet steps from July 2025. The testnet is still running, but the steps no longer lead to a 0G airdrop. Some links have also changed: Mintair (step 2) now redirects to Onchain Daily, the Jaine testnet app (steps 3 and 4) no longer loads, and the Nerzo link in step 7 now goes to a parked domain, so skip it.
👉 STEP 1: Head over to https://faucet.0g.ai/, connect your Twitter/X and request testnet tokens from the faucet.
👉 STEP 2: Head over to https://contracts.mintair.xyz/, connect your wallet, and select the 0G network to deploy a smart contract.
When deploying a smart contract, select ERC20 and deploy an ERC20 standard contract.
👉 STEP 3: Next, head over to https://test.jaine.app/swap and connect your wallet.
👉 STEP 4: Request testnet tokens from the faucet and do some swaps.
👉 STEP 5: Next, head to https://conft.app/name-service and mint a domain name of your choice.
Don’t forget to select the 0G Galileo network.
👉 STEP 6: Next, head to https://conft.app/launchpad/create and deploy an NFT smart contract.
👉 STEP 7: Head to nerzo.xyz (now offline) and mint an NFT.
👉 STEP 8: Head over to 0G Labs’ Galxe and complete tasks.
