OpenLedger Drops $25M Bomb on AI-Blockchain Fusion—Wall Street Still Doesn’t Get It
Decentralized finance just got a turbocharge. OpenLedger’s $25 million war chest aims to fund the messy—but inevitable—marriage of AI and blockchain startups. Because apparently, traditional VCs are too busy writing checks to Web2.0 has-beens.
The Play:
No-strings-attached capital for founders building at the intersection of smart contracts and machine learning. Think decentralized AI oracles, autonomous DAOs, or—dare we say—the first useful NFT project.
The Catch:
This isn’t Monopoly money. Grantees must survive OpenLedger’s ‘proof-of-build’ gauntlet—a welcome change from vaporware roadmaps and influencer-backed exit scams.
One thing’s clear: while banks debate blockchain ‘use cases,’ the real builders are too busy shipping. Again.
