From Galileo to Aristotle: 0G Mainnet is Live

The launch of 0G heralds a new era of decentralized AI: hundreds of partners, millions in investments, and groundbreaking technologies!

The tech world has taken a huge step forward: the long-awaited Aristotle Mainnet from 0G has officially launched! This milestone is not just the release of a new network but a true turning point in the history of artificial intelligence. We are now one step closer to making AI a public good accessible to everyone.

A New Vision for Decentralized AI

Aristotle Mainnet debuts as a unique decentralized operating system for AI. It brings together several key components:

• an AI-first blockchain,
• an infinitely scalable data availability layer,
• a modular storage system,
• a flexible servicing layer.

These elements open the door to new on-chain scenarios that are up to 50,000 times faster and 100 times cheaper than existing solutions.

**Imagine the scale: AI that once required massive resources is now available in a decentralized form and can evolve without limits.**

Over 100 Partners — From Day One

The launch of Aristotle Mainnet was a landmark event for the entire industry. More than 100 partners from different sectors have already joined: validators, custodians, wallets, dApps, bridges, RPC providers, oracles, indexers, explorers, API providers, and SDKs.

And these are not just big names — each went through rigorous checks: contract deployments, integration tests, uptime and latency verification, and price feed accuracy audits.

“Our mission at 0G is to make AI a public good which involves dismantling barriers, whether geopolitical or technological, and this launch marks a milestone in that journey. I could not be more proud of the 100-plus partners who are standing with us from day one. Together, we are building the first AI chain with a complete modular decentralized operating system, ensuring AI is not locked away in Big Tech silos but made available as a resource for everyone.” Michael Heinrich, CEO and co-founder of 0G Labs.

Industry Giants Already On Board

The launch ecosystem includes leaders such as Chainlink, providing oracle services and cross-chain bridges (CCIP), and Google Cloud, providing compute and AI integration. All leading EVM-compatible wallets are also ready to support users.

After extensive testing in Testnet V3 “Galileo,” the network confidently transitioned to Aristotle Mainnet, surpassing targets for TPS and block finality. Dozens of validators, DeFi protocols, and developer platforms are already connected — with fully operational indexers, SDKs, and RPC services from day one.

Financial Support and Ecosystem Growth Fund

To support developers, 0G Labs has launched an $88.88M growth fund. Alongside technical resources, this capital will help build the next generation of products.

The Guild on 0G program received more than 850 applications in just the first two weeks. Of these, 30 top projects were selected — and this is only the beginning. More names will be announced in the coming quarter.

Co-Creating the Future

So far, 0G Labs has raised $359M in two equity rounds to advance the protocol. In addition, the 0G Foundation secured another $35M this year through AI node sales and token subscriptions.

The demand for decentralized intelligence infrastructure is massive — and the market has confirmed it.

Flora Growth: Betting on 0G and Rebranding to ZeroStack

A particularly notable development comes from Flora Growth (NASDAQ: FLGC), which announced a major rebrand and raised $401M to build a treasury backed by the 0G token. These are the first steps toward turning $0G into a strategic reserve asset.

In its release, Flora Growth highlighted that 0G Labs successfully trained a model with 107 billion parameters using distributed clusters, even under low-bandwidth conditions. This represents a 357x improvement over Google’s DiLoCo results!

TGE and New Leadership

The token generation event (TGE) took place on September 22, 2025. Major exchanges such as Kraken and Gemini have already announced listings.

Flora Growth also announced it will change its name to ZeroStack, while retaining the stock ticker FLGC. In addition, 0G co-founder Michael Heinrich will become Executive Chairman, and Daniel Reis-Faria will assume the role of CEO.

$401M Investment and Top-Tier Funds

Flora Growth’s PIPE deal was one of the largest in the company’s history. Participants included DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV), Hexstone Capital, Carlsberg SE Asia PTE Ltd., Dao5, Abstract Ventures, Dispersion Capital, Blockchain Builders Fund, Salt, and others.

Out of the total:

• $35M was contributed in cash,
• $366M in crypto assets, primarily $0G tokens priced at $3.

The deal involves purchasing company shares (including pre-funded warrants) at $25.19 per share. Closing is expected on September 26, 2025.

“We’re thrilled to partner with FLGC on this fundraise and look forward to driving a deep collaboration between 0g and Solana. DFDV is excited to support AI adoption across Solana,” Joseph Onorati, CEO of DeFi Development Corp.

As part of the deal, Flora Growth will also allocate a portion of its treasury to Solana (SOL).

Innovation and Vertical Integration at 0G

0G is the first Web3 AI company to integrate:

• its own storage network,
• compute network,
• and training marketplace.

This approach fully decentralizes AI workloads and creates an all-in-one operating system with powerful tools for developers. It enables seamless integration of AI into both Web2 and Web3 environments.

“AI isn’t just transforming what companies do, it’s transforming how they must build infrastructure. This treasury strategy offers institutional investors equity-based exposure to the foundational infrastructure enabling transparent, verifiable, large-scale, cost-efficient, and privacy-first AI development,” Daniel Reis-Faria, CEO of Flora Growth.

Conclusion

Decentralized AI is no longer a futuristic dream — it is becoming reality. With over 100 partners, hundreds of millions in funding, the biggest industry names, and the ambitious plans of 0G and ZeroStack, this is only the beginning of a new era where AI will be fast, open, global, and accessible to everyone.
