Openmesh Network

$2,500

About

Data and IT infrastructure are the most valuable commodities in the world. Today, 4-5 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. The Xnode Studio is a platform for infrastructure design, development, and management solution 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 and countries to find the best resources such as compute, storage, and GPUs for your infrastructure needs, similar to how Skyscanner scans for airlines.
