@OpenGradient is a purpose-built blockchain focused on "Verifiable AI." It aims to solve the "black box" problem of traditional AI by using cryptography to prove that every AI computation is accurate and hasn't been tampered with.

#opg uses a Hybrid AI Compute Architecture:

1.Inference Nodes (specialized computers) run the AI models and generate cryptographic proofs of their work.

2. Full Nodes then verify these proofs asynchronously and settle the results on-chain.

This setup gives you the speed of Web2 computing with the trust and transparency of Web3.

$OPG is used for paying for AI inference fees, staking to secure the network, and participating in governance votes. The mainnet went live in April 2026. Over 4,400 AI models have been deployed on the network. The team includes talent from Google and Palantir. They've raised $9.5 million from top-tier VCs like a16z Crypto and Coinbase Ventures. OPG's price has seen sharp swings (even within 24 hours). Also, since most of the supply is still locked, future token unlocks could create significant selling pressure. Always do your own research before investing.
