About Openmesh and Xnode: Today, the majority of the world's data and IT infrastructure is controlled by a few corporations, leading to issues such as social inequality, scandals, and privacy concerns. Openmesh is an innovative open-source cloud infrastructure and open data network that aims to store important global data without intermediaries. It is currently the largest open web3 data lake, covering approximately 80% of the crypto and web3 ecosystem. Our goal is to expand this coverage to include public health and scientific research data. Openmesh allows anyone to create their own decentralized data cloud, securely share data globally, reduce deployment costs, and automate data cloud setup. Think of it as the internet's open data fabric, providing universal access and preventing interference from external entities.

Core Products:

• Xnode: Xnode is a revolutionary platform that enables developers to build their own decentralized data clouds, with data connectivity, APIs, and query & analytics engines in minutes instead of weeks or months. It offers cost savings, reduction in deployment time, and sidesteps licensing and setup fees.
• Pythia: Pythia is a powerful analytics & query engine that transforms raw data into actionable insights. It allows users to design, build, visualize, and deploy data products.
• Unified APIs: These APIs provide a single endpoint for all crypto & web3 data, making it accessible to anyone, anywhere, without any costs or fees.

Vision: Our vision is to democratize data and address information asymmetry on a large scale. We believe that access to reliable, unedited information is a fundamental right, and we aim to eliminate centralized control over data. Our infrastructure and technology stack are open-source and governed by an open-source community.
