# What is Openledger? OpenLedger is an AI-blockchain infrastructure for training and deploying specialized models using community-owned datasets (Datanets). All actions such as dataset uploads, model training, reward credits, and governance participation are executed on-chain. Users can create Datanets, contribute to public ones, build models, and publish them with transparent tokenized mechanics. ### How to Get Started with OpenLedger #### **1. Visit the OpenLedger** Navigate to OpenLedger App and log in using social authentication. #### **2. Create & Contribute to Datanets** You can **Create new datanets or Contribute in the existing datasets** that are used to train AI models. Each contribution (like adding data) is **verified, recorded on-chain**, and you're **rewarded** fairly for the attribution. #### **3. Train Models** OpenLedger provides tools to **train and fine-tune AI models** using your own data or data from Datanets in a decentralized way. It supports advanced techniques that allow multiple models to be deployed efficiently on a single GPU, drastically improving performance and cost savings. Every contribution—whether it’s data, compute, or algorithmic tuning—is tracked through the blockchain, ensuring that all participants are acknowledged and incentivized in a transparent manner. #### **4. Inference & Attribution** OpenLedger ensures that whenever an AI model is used to generate an output—whether through a chat, task, or API call—the system can trace exactly which model was used, what data it was trained on, and who contributed to it. This process of attribution allows the platform to fairly distribute rewards to the individuals or teams responsible for the model’s development and training. It brings full transparency to AI usage by linking each inference back to its origins, ensuring that creators are not just credited but also compensated for the value their models deliver in real time. This turns every AI interaction into a monetizable event for contributors across the ecosystem. #### **5. Governance** Governance on OpenLedger is powered by hybrid on-chain system using OpenZeppelin’s modular Governor framework. OPEN token holders actively participate in protocol direction and upgrades. #### **Quick Links** * [Community Discord](https://discord.com/invite/OpenLedger) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
