The hairdresser downstairs, I still don't know his last name.


I've been getting my hair cut there for almost five years.
I sit in the chair, without saying a word, he already knows how many millimeters to push on both sides, whether I've stayed up late again.
Once I changed shops for convenience, asked to start from the beginning, but the cut still felt off.
That day I finally figured it out:
"Being remembered" is pretty precious.
I've always felt something was off, but couldn't quite put my finger on what.
Until last week, someone handed me something called Ghast AI.
(A running AI application on the zero-knowledge chain.)
My finger was already scrolling up: again, "used for airdrops," I've really had enough of this over the past two years.
Slogans loud and clear, but when I clicked in, it was all bots spamming, running after the task, then disappearing, dumping coins once they go live, leaving chaos behind.
(As usual: the following sentences, rules, and quotas I try to verify, but official real-time info takes precedence.)
What made me pull my finger back wasn't the airdrop.
It was a number.
/
3 months, 1 billion calls.
1 billion calls—either real users are using it, or it's the busiest batch of bots in history.
I didn't quite believe it, so I dug into how they actually calculate this workload. When I looked into it, I straightened up.
What it records isn't how many times you clicked a button.
It's how much you've talked with your AI Agent, how much work it did for you.
And everything is on-chain.
See the difference?
Regular farms, what you generate is just air; once the activity ends, it resets.
➤ Here, what you generate is an AI that remembers you.
Your conversations, your preferences, every task it has done for you, layer by layer, on the chain, becoming something that solely belongs to you.
──────────
Here I need to talk about zero-knowledge (0G) separately, because that's where I truly straightened up.
What you generate, why does it hold up once on the chain, why is it considered valid? It relies on this underlying 0G.
It didn't compete in the fiercest model battles, where everyone is fighting to be the strongest.
It bets on the other side.
Models change every year, today’s, tomorrow’s, but that layer of security and verifiable foundation underneath won't change.
In the future, there will be agents working for you everywhere, reasoning, remembering, collaborating—why would you trust them?
Someone must do real-time verification, trustworthy execution, and audit trail at the bottom layer.
0G claims this responsibility.
It provides the "Layer 0" for the AI era.
The trend is actually shifting: money is moving from chasing the best models to chasing who can keep the bottom layer safe from accidents.
Infrastructure, once just an embellishment, has become a necessity.
So those 1 billion calls only carry weight on 0G.
Top-tier large models moving onto the chain, ecosystem projects emerging one after another, real people tuning in—this closed loop is finally turning.
We can benefit here because we’re riding on its coattails.
(By the way, this infrastructure also won the 0G Asia-Pacific Hackathon championship. 1 billion calls didn't crush it, which at least shows its foundation is real, not just a PPT drawing.)

Writing here, I finally understand the awkwardness I felt at the start.
In the past, we were all using other people’s AI.
Chat with GPT all night, close the window, and nothing remains.
Ghast aims for something else.
It wants to give you your own AI.
So I no longer see its Points as just points.
I see it as a real record of the relationship between you and this Agent, stamped on the chain.

Alright, I’ll continue with some practical tips—how to get started, how to benefit.
These days, I hit a good two-for-one deal, and I think it’s pretty worthwhile.
From Monday to Wednesday (6.15-6.17), MiniMax’s three-day free trial still works on Ghast.
It’s like you’re getting free compute power for top-tier models like MiniMax M3, and at the same time, accumulating Points on Ghast.
Free compute and airdrop points—no money spent, both benefits gained.
Today is Tuesday, tomorrow Wednesday, and it’s wrapping up.
If you want to try, don’t wait until it’s gone.
The whole season runs from 6.11 to 6.30, only two weeks left.
No invite code needed, just register directly. Available on desktop Mac and Windows.
► How to earn Points (subject to official rules):
🔹 Invite a friend, complete their first conversation — both of you get 10 Points.
🔹 The Points your friend earns later — you get 20% of that.
🔹 The first 350 people to use any 0G token — 5 Points, first come, first served.
🔹 The first 350 to spend $2 on 0G — $2 compute credit refunded directly, first come, first served.
Why save up Points?
Whitelist for Agentic NFT (only 80 spots), token airdrops—important basis.
Early adopters get the early advantage.

But I’ll add a final word of caution, or it’ll just sound like hype.
If you’re only chasing airdrops, just want to farm and run,
I suggest you save yourself the trouble—there’s really no need.
Because you’re missing what it’s really trying to give you:
An AI that remembers you, works for you, and truly belongs to you.
And you end up becoming the kind of farmer I find most annoying at the start.
I have one standard I follow, and I’ll share it with you:
Don’t ask “how much can I farm?” first.
Ask: even if this AI has no airdrops at all, would I be willing to open it every day?
Once you understand that, then decide whether to join or not.
Note: The above is purely project analysis, not investment advice.
