OpenLedger, a blockchain infrastructure focused on decentralized AI, has announced that it has received strategic investment and partnership from MARBLEX (KRX: 251270). MARBLEX is a subsidiary focused on blockchain business under the globally renowned game company Netmarble.
Through this collaboration, the two parties plan to expand AI and data transparency technologies to the gaming, entertainment, and broader industries. Additionally, they will engage in global cooperation and research projects, jointly exploring practical implementation models that integrate AI and blockchain to establish a trustworthy infrastructure applicable across multiple sectors.
As one of the world's largest game companies, Netmarble boasts an annual revenue exceeding $2 billion and a market capitalization of over $6 billion. This investment is based on MARBLEX's high recognition of OpenLedger's growth potential and scalability in the AI field.
Moving forward, the two parties will focus on advancing the development of a Verifiable AI system infrastructure and a decentralized gaming ecosystem.
Leveraging OpenLedger's Verifiable AI infrastructure, game companies like Netmarble can build adaptive game worlds—where players' real behaviors directly influence and continuously shape the game environment. This signifies a new data-driven gaming ecosystem, transparently driven by user participation rather than hidden within black-box algorithms.
OpenLedger is committed to providing core infrastructure support for decentralized AI. Its Verifiable AI technology can fully log the entire process of AI model and data asset generation, invocation, and verification of model outputs on-chain, thereby establishing a highly credible technical foundation for data reliability, traceability, and ownership transparency. This capability is difficult to achieve in traditional centralized AI systems and provides critical support for the scalable development of decentralized intelligent applications.
The industry widely believes that this collaboration symbolizes the deep integration of gaming innovation and verifiable artificial intelligence. Leveraging Netmarble's global network and mature gaming ecosystem, this partnership is expected to lead the industry into a new phase driven by AI, centered on data, and built on trust. Simultaneously, OpenLedger's verifiable infrastructure is also seen as having the potential to become a key underlying technology supporting creative industries, the data economy, and community trust mechanisms.
A representative from OpenLedger stated:
"This collaboration with MARBLEX is not just a technical synergy; it heralds the beginning of a new gaming paradigm—the deep integration of AI and blockchain. We believe this will accelerate the arrival of the '4D Gaming' era, enabling AI to learn in real-time, continuously evolve, and constantly shape the game environment, characters, and narrative."
Relying on Netmarble's global influence and its vast gaming ecosystem, this collaboration will promote the adoption of AI-based verifiable infrastructure across various industries and serve as a milestone in the convergent development of blockchain and AI technologies.
