Recently, I saw a really impressive funding opportunity, especially for AI developers in Asia. OpenLedger has launched an AI infrastructure funding program with a total amount of **5 million USD (approximately 7 billion KRW)**, specifically for Asian developers to apply. It focuses on AI application development in fields such as healthcare, law, finance, and K-Content. If you are a builder working on AI or Web3, you really need to check out this opportunity.

The most attractive aspect of this program is that each team can apply for up to $500,000 in funding, and this is not an investment, but pure grant funding. This means: you don't have to give up equity, you don't have to accept VC control, the funds are given to you to build your product, and the whole process is very Web3, decentralized, and does not interfere with creators. This is really super important for many teams that are just starting out but have technical strength.

In addition to money, they will also provide deployment tools and expense tracking systems for OpenLedger, allowing you to get started with minimal resources. There are also opportunities to communicate with top global VCs and AI investors, participate in demo days, and receive strategic guidance from OpenLedger and global AI experts. The entire resource is very comprehensive and suitable for teams looking to rapidly advance their projects.

This project plays a crucial role in the entire AI ecosystem. On one hand, it encourages developers to create "traceable and attributable" AI models and data sources through blockchain mechanisms, which helps promote fair and transparent AI usage; on the other hand, it actually combines Web3 with AI, allowing these applications to move beyond mere concepts and truly be implemented in industries such as healthcare, law, and entertainment.

This project is led by OpenLedger, with strategic partners like HashKey Capital also participating. In the future, it will expand to more regions, forming a truly decentralized AI collaboration network.

If you are working on an AI project yourself, or if you have friends who happen to be Asian developers, I really recommend them to take a look. Opportunities like this, where you get money and resources without taking equity, are rare, especially targeting Asian developers. It would be a shame to miss out.
