Additionally, it utilizes Ethereum security via EigenLayer‘s Active Validated Service (AVS), enhancing data integrity and overall security.
OpenLedger Drives AI Advancement With Its Permissionless Data-Centric Infrastructure
Its strategy for advancing AI is built on three core pillars: data, computing, and algorithms. OpenLedger’s platform provides a fully permissionless and verifiable data-centric infrastructure, promoting AI growth and development. The team has a proven track record in the decentralization space, having collaborated with well-known brands such as Sony, Walmart, Polygon, Hedera, and Flow (Dapper Labs).
So, OpenLedger addresses the critical requirements of data verifiability, diversity, integrity, and security for data quality across all these avenues. It facilitates the flow of verified data in an unbiased manner from multiple sources, ensuring protection against tampering and leveraging EigenLayer’s economic security with a TVL of $20 billion and diverse node sets. This approach guarantees strong security and upholds the decentralization principles.
The AI market has seen substantial growth, rising from $50 billion in 2023 to $184 billion in 2024, and is projected to exceed $826 billion by 2030. Companies like Scale AI, valued at $14 billion, dominate the centralized data infrastructure sector. They face challenges regarding data quality over the long term. OpenLedger is set to overcome this obstacle by establishing a fully permissionless data infrastructure, expanding the potential market reach.
