The Decentralized Platform for User-Owned AI

Mission

OpenGradient exists to turn AI into user-owned infrastructure. We give every person a portable, encrypted memory vault, models they can audit and fork, and a share of the upside when their data improves an agent.

By running compute and proofs onchain, we deliver verifiable security and one-click deployment of sovereign, open-source intelligence for all.

Vision

We envision a world where intelligence is owned by its users — auditable, forkable, and portable — so anyone can summon secure, context-aware AI and spark the next wave of industry-shaping innovation.

OpenGradient is the first decentralized platform that enables portable, user-owned intelligence, empowering builders  with auditable open-source AI models while advancing the frontier of onchain cognition.

Core Values

Sovereign

Your data lives in a portable, encrypted memory vault that you — and only you — control. Agents learn from your context without ever owning it.

Trustless

Every inference is proven onchain, so anyone can inspect, fork, or challenge the logic shaping their world — no black boxes, no blind faith.

Co-Owned

Whenever your memory or code makes a model smarter, you share the upside. Builders and users grow the value of the network together, not for someone else’s ledger.
