0G (0G) is a modular blockchain network focused on AI and data processing. Its architecture includes 0G chain (an EVM-enabled layer 1), 0G storage (for large data sets), 0G data availability (for scalable data access), and 0G compute (for training and inference of AI models). It uses Proof of Random Access (PoRA) to incentivize storage nodes and leverages Ethereum’s EigenLayer for shared security.
Sky (SKY) is the governance token of the Sky ecosystem, replacing Maker’s MKR token at a rate of 1:24,000. It allows users to participate in decentralized governance, trade for USDS, and accumulate rewards via the Sky Token Rewards module. SKY holders can vote on updates and changes to the protocol, and this will also serve as a mechanism for earning activation token rewards in the future.
Quant (QNT) is a distributed ledger technology focused on establishing connections between existing blockchains. Quant’s Overledger software provides organizations with cross-chain infrastructure to connect their enterprise software system to multiple distributed networks. QNT is the native token of the protocol which allows access to the platform and payment for products and services found on the network.
