Happy New year once again Fam
Before we dive fully into 2026, I just want to take a moment to appreciate 365/365, grateful to God for bringing us this far in 2025. What a year it’s been for OpenLedger.
Here’s the journey in a nutshell:
JANUARY → We kicked off Epoch 1: Incentivized Testnet, rewarding early node runners and community participants as the ecosystem started taking shape. Kalto Yapper Arena also launched with 2M
$OPEN up for grabs for active contributors.
FEBRUARY →Early contributors got access to Datanet Contribution Testnet Phase 2, helping define how on-chain AI data will be curated.
MARCH → OpenLedger announced Mint Your Model Madness, where users shared unique AI model ideas, a real glimpse of community creativity.
APRIL - MAY → The ecosystem began attracting more builders and partners, validating the demand for verifiable, attribution-aware AI infrastructure. We also published our Proof of Attribution research paper and hosted flagship events in Korea and China, making waves in the Web3 and AI space.
JUNE - JULY → Launched OpenCircle SeedLab with $25M to fund AI Web3 innovation, setting the foundation for bigger moves.
AUGUST - SEPTEMBER → Private mainnet access went live for early contributors and partners.
$OPEN TGE happened alongside major exchange listings, giving the ecosystem real liquidity and exposure.
OCTOBER - NOVEMBER → OpenLedger’s buyback program kicked off, signaling long-term confidence. Then the OPEN Mainnet launched, enabling real use cases, on-chain attribution, and ecosystem participation.
DECEMBER → A big milestone: Korean public company Netmarble’s MARBLEX made a strategic investment in
$OPEN, backing the expansion of OpenLedger’s AI infrastructure.
And now… 2026 is shaping up to be even bigger. Scaling Proof of Attribution, expanding on-chain AI infrastructure, and empowering agents, builders, and contributors globally.
@OpenledgerHQ isn’t just building tools, it’s building the foundation for accountable, verifiable AI on-chain, and 2026 is when we see it all come together.
As we step into the new year, I pray we all get the wisdom, energy, and vision to make the most of what’s coming, personally, professionally, and in the Web3 space.
Let’s make 2026 legendary.
Stay loudio
