The 0G x OnePiece Labs AI Accelerator is built to support the next wave of groundbreaking AI projects at the frontier of decentralized intelligence. Since launching last summer on a rolling admissions basis, the program has attracted an exceptional group of founders shaping the future of AI x Web3.

Today, as we reach Week 7 of the second cohort, we are thrilled to showcase the tremendous progress these high-potential projects have achieved. This reaffirms the power of our accelerator model, the strength of the 0G decentralized AI ecosystem, and the deep impact of the 0G x OnePiece Labs partnership.

Accelerator Highlights So Far

  • 9 carefully selected startups across AI Gaming, Generative AI, AI Agent Marketplaces, Specialized Language Models, and DAO Automation.
  • Across the cohort, several projects have secured strong investor interest, received verbal commitments, and are progressing well in their ongoing fundraising efforts.
  • Weekly mentorship, technical office hours, investor warm-up sessions, and ecosystem engagement have accelerated founder growth.
  • The cohort will culminate in a highly anticipated Demo Day, during which projects will showcase their achievements to top investors, ecosystem partners, and the media.
