Most DA layers compete on one metric: throughput. 0G competes on three: performance, programmability, and AI-native design. On-chain AI can't live in a "megabytes-per-second" world. It needs a DA layer built for gigabytes. 50,000x faster. 100x cheaper. Purpose-built.
“DA layers differ on three axes: performance, programmability, and AI-first design — because on-chain AI can’t live in a ‘megabytes-per-second’ world.” Sachi Mihara sits down with @michaelh_0g (Founder of @0G_labs) to compare against Celestia, Avail, and EigenDA: why throughput

The best founders don't start with a pitch deck. They start with obsession — sneaking into their dad's lab because the internet was faster there. @michaelh_0g built 0G from that same curiosity. Now it powers decentralized AI infrastructure for 100+ partners.
“Bored at a new school after moving from Berlin to Silicon Valley, I started hanging out at my dad’s SAP Lab — fast internet, endless reading, and falling in love with tech.” Our host Kenzi Merkle talks with @michaelh_0g(@0G_labs) about his origin story: early curiosity, the
