  "account": "OpenLedger is an innovative project that merges artificial intelligence with blockchain technology. Its primary goal is to make AI transparent and accountable by recording every contribution on-chain, thereby providing full transparency. This includes dataset uploads, model training, attribution, and governance. By anchoring AI to blockchain, OpenLedger ensures provenance and fair economic rewards. The project team comprises AI and blockchain experts who believe that intelligence itself should be ledger-native. They are committed to building a system where contributors, whether uploading datasets or running AI models, are fairly compensated. The OpenLedger token, known as OPEN, is the lifeblood of the ecosystem. It is used as \"gas\" for various activities such as dataset uploads, model training, and AI agent deployment. Contributors earn OPEN tokens for their efforts, which can be used for governance by voting on proposals and upgrades. The token also powers the system, with its demand being velocity-driven, meaning it circulates continuously within Datanets, Models, and Agents. The project secured significant funding in its seed round, led by notable investors such as Polychain Capital and Borderless Capital, along with Balaji Srinivasan and Sandeep Nailwal. This funding round, which raised $8 million, underscored the strong market demand for OpenLedger's unique approach to AI and blockchain integration. With a total supply of 1 billion OPEN tokens, the distribution is designed to foster decentralization and align incentives among developers, investors, and the community.",
