About Openmesh and Xnode
Currently, a small number of corporations have control over 90% of the world's data and IT infrastructure, leading to social inequality, scandals, and other problems. Openmesh is a cutting-edge open-source cloud infrastructure and global open data network. It aims to store important global data without relying on intermediaries. Openmesh serves as the largest open web3 data lake and covers approximately 80% of the crypto and web3 ecosystem. Its goal is to expand its coverage to include public health and scientific research data.
Openmesh allows people to create their own decentralized data cloud, connect globally, share data securely, and decrease deployment costs. It provides the ability to collect, store, process, stream, and provide data connectivity for anyone, anywhere, at any time. Think of Openmesh as the internet's open data fabric, granting universal access preventing interference.
Core Products
Our flagship product, Xnode, is pivotal in this vision. It offers a revolutionary platform for developers to build their own decentralized data clouds, which includes data connectivity, data APIs, and query & analytics engines. The platform allows developers to reduce costs by avoiding licensing and setup fees, and significantly reduces deployment time.
Pythia is a powerful analytics & query engine that transforms raw data into valuable insights. It provides anyone with the ability to design, build, visualize, and deploy impactful data products. Unified APIs provide a single endpoint for all crypto & web3 data, making it accessible to anyone without hassle.
Our Vision
Our vision is to democratize data and address information asymmetry on a global scale. We believe that reliable, unedited information is a fundamental right of a free and democratic society. Openmesh has no single authority that can manipulate data or control its distribution. The infrastructure and technology stack are open-source and governed by a community.
