Question 1

What is OPG?

Accepted Answer

OPG is the native token of the OpenGradient network. OpenGradient provides verifiable AI execution, model hosting, and infrastructure for deploying applications and agents; OPG is designed to support network services, governance, and ecosystem development, rather than representing equity in the project company.

Question 2

What problem does OpenGradient solve?

Accepted Answer

OpenGradient's focus is not merely to provide a model interface, but to make AI inference and its execution process verifiable. Developers can use its infrastructure to run ML or LLM inference, manage models, and deploy workflows; therefore, OPG's service-use cases should be understood in connection with the inference and application infrastructure actually provided by the network, rather than solely as those of an ordinary transfer token.

Question 3

How is OPG used to pay for AI inference?

Accepted Answer

In OpenGradient's LLM inference service, users can pay inference fees in OPG on Base. Payment occurs on Base, while the execution and verification of inference are handled by the OpenGradient network; this means that the chain used for payment is not the same as the network role that provides and verifies AI workloads.

Question 4

What are OPG's total supply and allocation?

Accepted Answer

OPG has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. This amount is allocated as 40% ecosystem, 15% foundation, 15% core contributors, 10% investors and advisors, 10% staking rewards, 6% liquidity and launch, and 4% airdrop; allocation percentages describe supply ownership categories and do not mean all of these tokens will be tradable at the same time.

Question 5

How much OPG is released at the token generation event?

Accepted Answer

TGE is the token generation event. OPG is not fully unlocked at TGE: the 60 million tokens for liquidity and launch and the 40 million tokens for the airdrop are both 100% unlocked; 40 million ecosystem tokens (10% of that category) and approximately 50 million foundation tokens (33.33% of that category) unlock at TGE, with the remainder released according to their respective schedules. Being unlocked only means a token is not subject to that vesting restriction; it does not by itself prove that the token has entered market circulation.

Question 6

How do core contributor and investor OPG tokens vest?

Accepted Answer

The 154,521,725 tokens for core contributors and the 95,478,275 tokens for investors and advisors are both unlocked at 0% at TGE, followed by a 12-month cliff and then monthly linear release over 36 months. No tokens are released under this schedule during the cliff; after the linear phase begins, the same amount is released each month until the category is fully vested.

Question 7

How do ecosystem and foundation OPG release methods differ?

Accepted Answer

The ecosystem category totals 400 million tokens, of which 10% unlocks at TGE and the remainder vests linearly each month over 60 months; the foundation category totals 150 million tokens, of which 33.33% unlocks at TGE and the remainder vests linearly over 48 months. Neither has a cliff, but their initial unlock percentages and subsequent release periods differ.

Question 8

How does the staking rewards pool enter available supply?

Accepted Answer

The 100 million OPG designated for staking rewards is not unlocked at TGE, but vests linearly each month over 96 months. This arrangement describes the source and schedule of token releases for the reward pool; the schedule alone cannot establish an individual's reward rate, eligibility, or actual return.

Question 9

What are OPG's reference chain and token standard?

Accepted Answer

Base is OPG's reference chain, and the reference token on Base is a standard ERC-20. This ERC-20 contract itself does not contain bridging logic; accordingly, ordinary wallets and applications can handle the reference token as an ERC-20, while cross-chain functionality is handled by separate components.

Question 10

How does OPG bridge between supported networks?

Accepted Answer

When bridging from Base, a separate LayerZero OFT Adapter locks or unlocks ERC-20 OPG on Base; native OFTs on BNB Smart Chain and Mantle mint or burn an equivalent amount of tokens during the corresponding cross-chain movement. The locked Base balance corresponds to OFTs minted on other chains, so this design is intended to ensure that a cross-chain position change does not amount to additional issuance.

Question 11

What is the difference between OPG on different networks?

Accepted Answer

OPG on Base differs in implementation form from OPG on BNB Smart Chain and Mantle: the former is the reference ERC-20, while the latter two are native OFTs. They are connected through the locking, unlocking, minting, and burning processes of the adapter and OFTs; when operating, the token address and bridging route matching the target network must be selected.

Question 12

What should be verified before using or bridging OPG?

Accepted Answer

Before using or bridging OPG, verify the contract address for the relevant network from the official address page and also check the corresponding block explorer. The official guidance explicitly warns against trusting addresses supplied through direct messages, unofficial channels, or other sources; if the network and contract do not match, a transfer or bridging operation may not complete as expected.
