Decentralized AI Assistant Beta

Ghast AI has opened a beta on 0G, pitching an AI assistant whose conversation history is stored as encrypted on-chain memory that users keep. (markets.businessinsider.com) The beta launched on April 10, 2026, according to a Globe Newswire release distributed by Business Insider and Yahoo Finance. 0G said Ghast AI had onboarded more than 830 beta users and processed more than 30 million inference tokens during testing. (markets.businessinsider.com) The product is a Chrome extension that combines chat, wallet operations, on-chain context, task automation, and what Ghast calls persistent memory. Ghast’s site says that memory includes personality, preferences, knowledge, spending rules, and monitoring tasks synced to 0G Storage. (ghast.trapezohe.ai) In plain terms, the pitch is that most assistants remember you inside one company’s servers, while this one says your memory can move with you like a file you own. Ghast says those records are end-to-end encrypted and inaccessible to third parties, while still being stored on decentralized infrastructure. (markets.businessinsider.com) That claim sits inside a broader push to build artificial intelligence services on blockchains instead of centralized cloud platforms. 0G describes itself as a stack for artificial intelligence agents, with chain, compute, storage, and data-availability services under one network. (0g.ai) 0G’s mainnet, called Aristotle, has been live since September 2025, and the company says it now has more than 300 ecosystem partners and 346,000 total accounts. In September 2025, 0G said Aristotle launched with more than 100 partners spanning wallets, validators, bridges, oracles, and developer tools. (0g.ai, 0g.ai) Ghast is also testing a more aggressive idea than simple chat history: turning some memory into a tokenized asset. Its site says high-value agent memory can be wrapped into an intelligent non-fungible token under the ERC-7857 standard, with contract rules for ownership, transfer, and access. (ghast.trapezohe.ai) The company says that could let a user package strategy notes, research context, or specialized workflows into something portable and licensable. Supporters frame that as a way to stop platforms from owning the data generated by users’ prompts and habits. (ghast.trapezohe.ai, markets.businessinsider.com) The tradeoff is that the core claims here come mostly from company materials, not independent audits or outside usage studies. 0G and Ghast have published architecture details, but the public material reviewed here does not include third-party verification of the privacy model, tokenized-memory market, or long-term consumer demand. (0g.ai, ghast.trapezohe.ai) For now, Ghast is live as a beta product attached to a live decentralized network, and its early numbers are small by mainstream assistant standards but concrete by crypto beta standards. The next test is whether users want an assistant that remembers them across devices and wallets without handing that memory back to one platform. (markets.businessinsider.com, 0g.ai)
