OpenLedger, which has raised $15 million since 2024 to build the foundation for a fairer AI economy, debuted its OPEN token with a 200% price surge and $182M in trading volume following Binance’s listing and a 10 million token airdrop.
Beyond recent market activity, OpenLedger has introduced a new framework it refers to as Payable AI, describing its platform as combining blockchain and artificial intelligence. The protocol enables anyone to contribute, host, and use AI models with verifiable attribution through its Proof of Attribution mechanism, automatically rewarding contributors whenever their data shapes an AI output.
To date, activity on the network has included:
- 6M+ nodes registered on testnet
- 25M+ transactions processed
- 20K+ AI models built
- 27+ products launched on top of the network
OPEN is the backbone of this new economy, powering model registration, inference calls, attribution payouts, and governance. Holders can convert OPEN into gOPEN to participate in network decision-making, from reward schedules to fee models.
“AI has created trillions in value by extracting from contributors without credit or compensation,” said Ram Kumar, Core Contributor at OpenLedger. “OPEN rewards the people who make AI intelligent in the first place. Just as Ethereum became the foundation of Web3, OPEN is becoming the foundation of Payable AI.”
The network, now live on mainnet, combines off-chain execution for high-performance AI training and inference with on-chain settlement for transparency. Attribution and results are posted to the OpenLedger blockchain, ensuring outputs can be independently verified.
With its debut on Binance, OpenLedger is emerging as the frontrunner in turning AI models into the next on-chain asset class.
