OpenPad AI’s native token, OPAD, made its official debut today with listings on two major exchanges—KuCoin and MEXC—coinciding with its token generation event (TGE).
According to the announcement, KuCoin confirmed it will support OPAD/USDT spot trading beginning at 13:00 UTC, with withdrawals opening tomorrow at 10:00 UTC. The exchange also revealed that trading bots would be active at launch, giving traders additional liquidity options.
The KuCoin listing follows the August 15 launch of OpenPad AI’s GemPool farming initiative, which allows users to stake KCS, USDT, or OPAD in return for additional token rewards. The campaign runs until August 25, with payouts distributed hourly. Meanwhile, MEXC is pairing its OPAD listing with an airdrop event to drive early adoption.

Alongside its exchange debuts, OpenPad AI is rolling out a staking program at TGE, offering yields of up to 45% APY. Rewards scale based on the size of a user’s stake, providing participants with an incentive to lock in their tokens while strengthening network stability.
Backed by leading investors such as Basics Capital, Avalon Wealth Club, Tezos Foundation, and Sei, OpenPad AI has secured over $5 million in funding across several rounds. The project also announced Funders VC as a new investor on launch day.
Billed as a decentralized AI-powered investment ecosystem, OpenPad AI combines blockchain, AI, and edge computing to deliver automated and verifiable data solutions. The platform is currently ranked the top AI decentralized application on BNB Chain, with more than 300,000 verified node operators, 2 million monthly active wallets, and 5 million incoming transactions. Its ecosystem spans over 2.1 million active data contributors, 500+ partnerships, 19.5 million lifetime transactions, and a community of 700,000 members.
Additionally, KuCoin officially listed Lagrange (LA), a utility token designed to enable secure AI verification through zero-knowledge proofs, marking its world premiere on the exchange’s Spot trading platform.
