LAKE MARY, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 18, 2026 / OpenWorld, Inc. ("OpenWorld" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:OPNW), an innovation company advancing global real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization, today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement to acquire Blocksight and outlined how its acquisition of Blocksight Holdings Co. ("Blocksight"), announced on October 1, 2026, is intended to serve as the operating foundation for the Company's tokenized financing programs in infrastructure and energy. Blocksight builds AI agents that bring real-world assets on-chain, automating deal structuring, asset data verification, investor onboarding, daily investor reporting and ongoing investment servicing, with human approval required at key decision points. Upon completion of the acquisition, these agents are expected to be integrated into OpenWorld Enterprise, the platform through which OpenWorld structures, administers and reports on tokenized RWA programs. In the two weeks since the Blocksight announcement, OpenWorld has announced two tokenized financing programs that OpenWorld Enterprise is expected to structure and service. On October 7, 2026, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with BeyondAI for a proposed intellectual property-backed transaction of up to $130 million, under which digital tokens would represent investors' rights to payments backed by eligible BeyondAI intellectual property. On October 15, 2026, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with Meridian to establish a tokenized financing program of up to $1 billion to fund a distributed AI computing network powered by on-site solar energy and residential battery storage, with an expected initial deployment planned for 10,000 homes. Together, the three announcements describe a single model: one platform, one agentic workflow, applied across asset classes.
