0G prepares for Kraken token listing

Kraken has announced it will list the 0G token from 0G Labs on Sept. 22, just days after the project’s token generation event.

Kraken has just announced that it will list the 0G token from 0G Labs, with trading set to begin on Sept. 22. This is a major milestone for 0G, as a listing on a regulated, top-tier exchange comes just days after its token generation event held on Sept. 18.

0G’s TGE was accompanied by a large-scale airdrop rewarding early contributors. Eligible participants include active Discord community members holding specific roles, contributors to social campaigns and quests, participants in the Kaito Yapper ecosystem, and holders of the One Gravity NFT collection.

According to 0G Labs’ official blog post, the 0G’s TGE was intentionally held off “until everything was in the right place.” The team has spent over 2 years developing the project, laying the groundwork for what they envision as the largest L1 blockchain for AI and a fully decentralized AI operating system.

0G labs raises ahead of Kraken token listing

0G Labs is developing a modular AI chain designed to support decentralized AI applications. The project has raised a total of over $350 million, including a $40 million seed round led by Hack VC with participation from OKX Ventures, Delphi Ventures, Samsung Next, and Animoca Brands, as well as a $250 million token purchase commitment secured by the 0G Foundation. Additional funds were raised through node sales, providing the team with the resources needed to build and scale its ecosystem.

According to the official website, 0G Labs has secured 300+ projects, 450+ integrations. Among the most noteworthy, recent integrations is Pyth Network, which will provide over 2,000 institutional price feeds from Day One of the 0G mainnet. This will enable developers building financial or prediction‑driven AI apps on 0G to access accurate, real-time data, which is critical for DeFi protocols, AI agents, and automated trading systems.

Among the projects building on 0G, standouts include Aethir, a decentralized GPU cloud platform providing scalable, low-latency compute for AI and Web3 apps, and Orochi Network, a verifiable data layer ror RWAs.

However, it’s important to note that despite 0G Labs securing strong funding and traction, its TGE token allocation suggests a centralized early-stage governance structure with significant insider ownership.

44% of the total supply is allocated to insiders—split evenly between the team and early backers. This suggests that while 0G’s developers are heavily incentivized to continue building, it also raises the possibility of downward price pressure in the future, as large insider holdings can translate into significant price swings if tokens are sold into the market.

It’s also noteworthy that only 9.69% is allocated to Community Rewards, which feels surprisingly limited given that 0G Labs leaned heavily on a large-scale airdrop and community activation through Kaito Yappers to drive attention at launch.

The remaining allocation is split between 31.31% for Ecosystem Growth, and 15% for AI Alignment Nodes, which are the special nodes that secure the network and ensure that AI agents within the ecosystem remain aligned with human oversight and application-specific constraints.
