1) Why OpenLedger Matters
Every day, AI uses data from countless people, yet most contributors never get recognized or rewarded. OpenLedger changes that. It tracks exactly which data or model influenced an AI answer and automatically pays the people who helped. Imagine getting rewarded every time your work makes a difference.
2) The Big Idea
OpenLedger is an AI-first blockchain where your contributions—data, models, or AI agents—can earn you real rewards. You collect data, train models, launch agents, and every time your work is used, you get paid.
3) What OpenLedger Is
Blockchain Layer
It runs on Ethereum Layer-2, which means transactions are fast, cheap, and secure. The OPEN token is used to pay fees and rewards.
AI Tools
OpenLedger gives you tools to collect data, train models, launch AI agents, and record every action on the blockchain. Main tools include Datanets, Model Factory, OpenLoRA, AI Studio, and the Attribution Engine.
Goal
Turn data, models, apps, and AI agents into assets that anyone can use, build on, and earn from. Your contributions finally have value.
4) How It Works
Datanets
Create special datasets, add your data, and set rules. Each contribution is recorded. You get paid every time your data influences an AI answer. This works for medical notes, legal rules, code, maps, sensors, or any niche topic.
Model Factory
Train and launch models easily using Datanets. Every model is recorded on-chain so its history is clear.
OpenLoRA
Run many model adapters on a single GPU. Loading adapters only when needed saves money and resources.
AI Studio and Open Chat
Build, launch, and earn from AI agents. Open Chat even shows which data helped create each answer and automatically shares rewards with contributors.
Proof of Attribution
Tracks exactly which data or model influenced an AI answer. Small models use fast methods, larger models track token-level influence. This ensures fair, traceable rewards.
5) How Rewards Flow
A user sends a question to a model
The model generates an answer
Attribution Engine identifies which data or adapters helped
OPEN is sent to model owners and contributors
Every transaction is recorded on-chain
Every time your contribution is used, you see the impact and get rewarded. It feels like being part of something bigger while earning for your work.
6) What You Can Build
Chatbots for healthcare, legal, or finance
Data marketplaces for niche datasets
AI agent networks that automatically pay contributors
You can take your knowledge or data and turn it into a product that earns money for you over time. Your work keeps giving back.
7) The OPEN Token
What It Does
Pay fees, access models, use datasets, vote on updates, and receive rewards.
Supply
Total 1 billion OPEN
Initial circulating 215 million OPEN
Why It Matters
It turns your contributions into real, spendable value. Every time your data or model is used, OPEN flows to your wallet.
8) How OpenLedger Stands Out
Unlike older AI platforms, rewards are based on real use, not just uploads. Every action is recorded on-chain. Unlike regular Layer-2s, OpenLedger is built specifically for AI, not just finance. It is made to make your contributions count and pay off.
9) Team and Partners
Built on Stanford research with Proof ofAttribution as the core idea
Backers include Polychain, Borderless Capital, and HashKey Capital
Partners range from Blockchain at Berkeley and Trust Wallet to enterprise pilots in health and smart-contract tools
