Token Allocation and Unlock Schedule
The OPEN token is distributed to reinforce the core principles of the OpenLedger AI blockchain. It rewards verified data contribution, supports model development, and enables a community-owned network. Each allocation is tied to real utility. From powering Proof of Attribution rewards and inference fees to funding early-stage projects through OpenCircle, the distribution ensures that OPEN flows toward those who contribute to the network’s intelligence. The largest share is reserved for the ecosystem, creating long-term incentives for data contributors, model builders, validators, and agent developers to build and operate onchain.
The total supply of OPEN is capped at 1,000,000,000 tokens. At launch, 21.55 percent of the total supply will be in circulation. The rest will unlock over time based on defined schedules. This includes allocations to community rewards, early contributors, and ecosystem liquidity, ensuring meaningful participation and sustained growth.
Community Rewards & Ecosystem - 61.71%
A majority of the OPEN token supply, 61.71 percent, is allocated to support the OpenLedger ecosystem and its contributors. This category powers the network’s reward systems, model incentives, developer grants, and public goods infrastructure. The allocation is designed to flow back into the hands of those who contribute meaningfully through data, models, agents, or tooling.
Proof of Attribution payouts
OpenLedger’s attribution layer makes it possible to track which datasets influence a model’s output. Contributors who provide high-impact data are rewarded directly from this pool. The system verifies attribution on-chain, ensuring that data contributors receive OPEN based on actual influence rather than speculation or reputation. This creates a fairer reward mechanism rooted in verifiable model behavior.
