layer 010G Chain
iNFTs, registry, splitter.
ERC-7857 with a lineage layer on top. Sub-second finality. The graph of who-trained-on-what lives on-chain, immutable and append-only.
The Lineage Protocol · Volume I
Every output is owed to someone upstream.
Lineage is the provenance & royalty protocol for AI agents on 0G. Every dataset, model, and skill is an iNFT. Every inference produces a signed attribution receipt. Royalties stream — automatically — to every contributor in the lineage.

§01 · The problem
AI in 2026 sits on top of a stack with no provenance. Contributors don't get paid. Models are trained on uncompensated data, fine-tuned with uncredited labels, and executed inside agents that compose tools and memories from many authors. Every dollar of agent revenue is built on uncredited work.
Agent memory is under attack: $45M+ was lost in 2026 to memory-poisoning and tool-injection. iNFTs trade as opaque blobs — the moment one is used, attribution evaporates. These are three faces of the same gap. AI has no audit trail.
§02 · The receipt
Lineage gives AI an audit trail.
Every inference produces a signed attribution receipt — a JSON object listing every iNFT touched and its weight, signed by the TEE that ran the compute and the agent host that called it. Receipts are written to 0G Storage. A periodic settler reads them, computes the weighted payout, and posts a Merkle root on-chain.
Contributors withdraw with a Merkle proof. Pulls, not pushes. The receipt is the record.

§03 · Attribution math
How 0.001 OG becomes four payouts.
One inference uses Skill #37 (a web-search skill). It composes Model #36 (a news summariser), which was trained on Alice's DataINFT #33 (70%) and Bob's DataINFT #34 (30%). Revenue: 0.001 OG. Royalties cascade upstream:
| Contributor | Calculation | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Skill owner | 50% × 3% × 0.001 | 0.000015 OG |
| Model owner | (50%↑) × 60% × 5% × 0.001 | 0.000009 OG |
| Alice (data #33) | (40%↑) × 70% × 2% × 0.001 | 0.0000024 OG |
| Bob (data #34) | (40%↑) × 30% × 2% × 0.001 | 0.0000010 OG |
§04 · The stack
The full 0G stack, used end-to-end.
layer 020G Storage
Encrypted artifacts.
Datasets, model weights, tool source, memory checkpoints. Content-addressed roots; the iNFT carries the storage root, not the bytes.
layer 030G DA
Attribution receipts.
Per-inference receipts persisted to 0G DA. Cheap, infinitely scalable, verifiable. The settler reads from here to compute payouts.
layer 040G Compute
Verifiable TEE inference.
The TEE is the trust root for 'this inference really used these iNFTs.' Every receipt is dual-signed: TEE + host operator.
layer 05ERC-7857
The underlying NFT standard.
Lineage adds the graph layer — what each iNFT was built from and how royalties cascade. The standard for agentic provenance.
layer 06RoyaltySplitter
Pulls, not pushes.
Merkle root posted on-chain. Contributors withdraw with a proof. Gas-efficient, audit-friendly, and recoverable across batches.
