0G Private Computer tops 250B tokens, adds USD payments

0G Private Computer has processed more than 250 billion tokens across 17 million requests while expanding its private AI service to 28 models and adding U.S. dollar payments. Summary 0G Private Computer has reached 15,000 users less than four months after its April launch. Users can now fund dollar balances by card through Stripe without buying a crypto token. Twenty of the platform’s 28 AI models offer verifiable execution through two TEE-based systems. In an Aug. 18 press release shared with crypto.news, 0G Labs said that Private Computer had also produced 15 million Trusted Execution Environment attestation proofs since launching on April 27. The platform began with seven models and now offers 28 through a web console and an application programming interface compatible with OpenAI’s API. Users can access text, image, audio, and video generation tools from one account. According to the company, Private Computer does not retain user data. Prompts are processed in memory, are not stored after use, and are not added to model-training datasets. Usage figures and attestation activity are displayed through a public real-time dashboard.

Email sign-in and a guided first-deposit process have also been introduced. Previously, interacting with decentralized AI infrastructure could require users to set up a crypto wallet, acquire a supported token, and complete an on-chain transaction. Under the updated process described by 0G Labs, customers can create an account with an email address and start using the service without buying a token. For U.S. users, the main access change is the ability to pay in dollars through a familiar card-based checkout. The company did not announce a new U.S.-specific token, investment product, or securities offering as part of the update. Each request lets users select a trust tier, with verifiable execution available on 20 of the 28 listed models. Payments can take place in dollars even when the selected model uses the platform’s decentralized verification infrastructure. “Privacy should not require a crypto wallet,” 0G Labs co-founder and CEO Michael Heinrich said. “With this upgrade anyone can pay for AI in dollars and still get hardware-verified privacy. Decentralized infrastructure goes mainstream by meeting people where they are, not by asking them to change how they pay.” Twenty AI models support verifiable execution Trusted Execution Environments are protected areas within computer hardware that isolate data and code while a task is being completed. Within Private Computer, the technology is used to process prompts without exposing them outside the protected environment, according to 0G Labs.
