About Openmesh and Xnode

In today's digital landscape, a few large corporations control the majority of data and IT infrastructure worldwide. This centralized control poses various challenges, including social inequality, scandals, polarization, and privacy concerns. Openmesh is an innovative open-source cloud infrastructure and global open data network aiming to solve these issues. Openmesh provides a decentralized approach to storing important global data without any intermediaries. It is currently the largest open web3 data lake, covering around 80% of the crypto and web3 ecosystem. Openmesh plans to expand its data coverage to public health and scientific research data in 2023 and 2024.

Openmesh enables individuals to create their own decentralized data clouds, connecting globally, securely sharing data, reducing deployment costs, and facilitating automated data cloud setup. Acting as the internet's open data fabric, Openmesh grants universal access without interference from regulators, governments, corporations, or its creators. This versatile platform presents endless possibilities.

Core Products

  • Xnode: Xnode, our flagship product, revolutionizes data cloud development. It allows developers to build decentralized data clouds quickly, complete with data connectivity, APIs, and query & analytics engines. Xnode eliminates the need for extensive timelines and upfront fees by offering cost-efficient computing and storage options. Deploying and operating data clouds becomes significantly more affordable, saving up to 95% of deployment time.
  • Pythia: Pythia is a powerful analytics and query engine that transforms raw data into actionable insights. It empowers users to design, build, visualize, and deploy robust data products.
  • Unified APIs: Our unified APIs provide a single endpoint to access all crypto and web3 data, ensuring global accessibility without any licenses, registrations, or setup fees.

Our Vision

At Openmesh, our vision is to democratize access to data and address information asymmetry on a global scale. We recognize that reliable, unedited data is invaluable for the functioning of the internet, webpages, and applications. We believe access to quality information is a fundamental right in a free and democratic society. Openmesh operates without a single controlling authority, ensuring the integrity, distribution, control, and visibility of data remain unaffected. Our open-source infrastructure and technology stack are governed by an open-source community.
