OpenLedger, an AI-specialized blockchain network, has announced a strategic partnership with decentralized AI protocol TheoriqAI. The collaboration aims to develop accountable, production-ready AI agents for decentralized finance (DeFi) by integrating OpenLedger's infrastructure into TheoriqAI's Web3 intelligence platform.
The partnership, announced on January 16, 2026, focuses on moving AI agents from experimentation to real-world DeFi systems. TheoriqAI, powered by its native THQ token, operates an on-chain platform for building AI agents that collaborate and execute tasks across decentralized networks using tools like Infinity Hub and Infinite Studio.
OpenLedger brings unique AI infrastructure to the partnership, specializing in the transparent training and deployment of AI models using community-owned datasets called Datanets. Its ecosystem features Proof of Attribution (PoA) consensus and tools including OpenLoRA and Model Factory, which support the entire AI lifecycle from data collection to model deployment.
The integration is designed to streamline the process of training, inferencing, scaling, and deploying AI-driven decentralized applications. By leveraging OpenLedger's decentralized tools, TheoriqAI aims to build and deploy machine learning models without relying on centralized cloud providers, addressing issues of cost, opacity, and data control.
A key objective is enabling verifiable execution, auditable state, and transparent economic logic for AI agents operating in financial contexts. The collaboration represents a convergence of Web3 and AI technologies, with both companies seeking to improve customer experience, promote on-chain interoperability, and create powerful AI agents for advanced Web3 services.
The alliance marks a significant milestone for both organizations, expanding OpenLedger's AI infrastructure network to broader Web3 users while providing TheoriqAI with specialized development tools. The partnership exemplifies the growing trend of collaboration within the Web3 space to create shared value and lay the foundation for next-generation decentralized systems.
