About Openmesh and Xnode:
Data and IT infrastructure are the most valuable commodities in the world. Today, four to five large corporations manage 90% of the world’s data and IT infrastructure, and we are supposed to trust them. We have a HUGE problem with that.
Openmesh Network is a four-year-old open-source DePIN project, with the majority of our 26 team members based in Sydney. Our team brings diverse experience from prominent Web3 projects, including Fantom, Ripple, Ethereum, Cosmos, AWS, and Aragon.
Openmesh is a P2P immutable data and decentralized cloud network. It combines the best features of AWS, IPFS, Chainlink, BitTorrent, and Oracle Cloud into a single solution. Openmesh provides immutable data via OpenAPIs and offers Web2/Web3 Infrastructure as a Service through Xnode.
Xnode manages Openmesh network resources, including computational power and storage, across various deployment environments. Each Xnode operates as a microservice, enhancing the overall efficiency and integrity of the Openmesh network. Collectively, Xnodes form a network of data collectors, aggregators, and validators that facilitate a global system of data verification and dissemination.
The Xnode Studio is a platform for infrastructure design, development, and management solutions where users can assemble Web2 and Web3 infrastructure like Lego blocks. It enables developers, startups, and enterprise users to quickly build Web2 and Web3 infrastructure such as validator nodes, data clouds, building data APIs, P2P compute and storage layers, analytic engines, hosting services in minutes rather than weeks. Users can combine complex infrastructure leveraging interconnected worldwide data centers and fiber connectivity. Xnode Studio features a powerful resource aggregation engine that scans through thousands of combinations of bare metal and cloud providers across various cities, regions, and countries to find the best resources such as compute, storage, and GPUs for your infrastructure needs, similar to how Skyscanner scans for airlines.
Xnode and Openmesh advancements, breakthroughs, and innovations are designed to accelerate the Web3 industry by building the next generation of open data and infrastructure, which will be pivotal for the next 10-20 years.
Our vision:
Our vision is to democratize data and address information asymmetry at a scale. Data & information is the most valuable commodity in the world. Without quality, reliable data, all webpages, apps, and the entire internet will stop working. We believe access to reliable, unedited information is a fundamental right- an aspect of a free and democratic society. The Core Principles of Openmesh, by design, has no single authority that can alter its data, how the information is distributed or controlled, or who can see what and when. The infrastructure and entire technology stack is open-source and governed by an open-source community.
