$OPEN

OpenLedger has announced a five million dollar grants initiative in collaboration with the University of Cambridge to accelerate decentralized AI research. The program will fund students and researchers working on transparent datasets, verifiable training pipelines, attribution based reward systems, and specialized language models built directly on the OPEN Mainnet. By supporting open infrastructure and accountable model development, the initiative aims to push AI innovation beyond closed systems and black box incentives. This partnership brings academic rigor together with decentralized technology, creating a practical path for experimentation, real world deployment, and long term sustainability across the emerging decentralized AI ecosystem
