OpenLedger, a decentralized blockchain platform for artificial intelligence (AI), has partnered with Ether.fi to enhance its network security and scalability. Ether.fi, which manages $6 billion in total value locked (TVL) through its restaking infrastructure, will provide the security foundation necessary for OpenLedger to advance its decentralized AI ecosystem.
The collaboration supports OpenLedger’s goal of delivering specialized AI models and data that developers can use to train, fine-tune, and scale workflows more efficiently. OpenLedger is set to achieve a key milestone with the upcoming launch of its testnet, marking a significant step in democratizing decentralized AI access.
A Step Toward Secure and Scalable AI Development
“Ether.fi is excited to shape the future of AI models and data infrastructure with OpenLedger,” said Mike Silagadze, CEO and Co-Founder of Ether.fi. “Through the utilization of our security and operators, we will work with OpenLedger to service the growing community of builders in need of specialized models and data for training, fine-tuning, and scaling their AI workflows.”
A core contributor from OpenLedger highlighted the importance of security and decentralization in AI development, stating: “Decentralization thrives on trust and resilience. Partnering with Ether.fi enables OpenLedger to elevate these principles by leveraging their restaking infrastructure. This collaboration reflects our shared vision of a decentralized ecosystem that is secure, scalable, and future-proof.”
Decentralized AI is reshaping the artificial intelligence landscape by moving away from centralized systems. OpenLedger’s focus on building secure, scalable solutions aligns with the growing demand for transparent and distributed AI models. By integrating Ether.fi’s proven restaking infrastructure, OpenLedger ensures reliable data processing and network stability for developers creating specialized AI models.
Building Momentum with Strong Backing
The partnership follows OpenLedger’s successful $8 million funding round led by Polychain Capital and Borderless, underscoring investor confidence in its vision. This funding further strengthens OpenLedger’s ability to support organizations seeking advanced AI model development.
OpenLedger’s testnet is now accessible to developers at testnet.openledger.xyz. It provides a platform for users to explore the capabilities of decentralized AI, including model training and data verification.
