DECENTRALIZED AI is the alternative, and 0G Labs is building the infrastructure layer to make it real. Michael Heinrich, Co-Founder of 0G Labs, joins us live at Consensus Miami 2026 to break down why AI needs its own blockchain, what the Apollo launchpad is unlocking for AI-native projects, and how 0G's open-source infrastructure gives developers, agents, and communities real ownership over data and compute. From why existing chains like Ethereum and Solana fall short for AI workloads to what verifiable, trustless AI execution actually looks like in practice, this is a clear-eyed look at where decentralized AI infrastructure is headed. You'll learn: Why AI workloads expose the limits of general-purpose blockchains and what 0G was built to fix How the Apollo launchpad works and what kinds of projects are being accelerated on the 0G network What open-source AI infrastructure means for developers who want to build without depending on centralized providers Why decentralized compute and data ownership are the two things that actually determine whether AI stays open πŸ”— https://0g.ai 🐦 https://x.com/0G_labs πŸ””JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER FOR 100X GAINSπŸ””: https://cryptocoinshow.substack.com/subscribe ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/crypto-coin-show-6582644/episodes/ethereum-and-solana-weren-t-built-for-ai-0g-labs-co-founder-explains-why-crypto-coin-show/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/crypto-coin-show-6582644/ethereum-and-solana-weren-t-built-for-ai-0g-labs-co-founder-explains-why-crypto-coin-show.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
