Summary
0G Labs (Zero Gravity Labs) is a Web3 AI infrastructure company building a modular, AI-first layer-1 blockchain and decentralized AI operating system, having raised $325 million across multiple funding rounds since March 2024. The project has faced a protocol-level smart contract exploit in December 2025 ($516K lost), a separate compromise of its official social media account in October 2025, and significant community criticism over alleged funding misrepresentation, undisclosed insider token allocations, and concerns that two co-founders departing from Conflux Network constituted a reputational 'soft rug' of that project. No regulatory actions have been identified as of May 2026.
