About Us

Over the past three years, we've been building a petabyte-scale decentralized data infrastructure for crypto and Web 3.0, providing access to high-quality, immutable data without intermediaries.

We believe that access to reliable, unaltered information is a fundamental right, essential for a free and democratic society, and crucial for scaling crypto and Web 3.0. By design, the core principles of the Openmesh Network ensure that no single authority can alter data, control information distribution, or determine who has access. Our infrastructure and technology stack are entirely open-source and governed by an open-source community.

Responsibilities

• Compatibility and Integration: Develop and maintain APIs that ensure seamless compatibility and integration with various third-party services. Well-designed APIs will enable developers to leverage existing functionalities without needing to start from scratch.
• Scalability and Performance: Design APIs with a focus on scalability, ensuring they can handle increasing workloads and meet evolving user demands while maintaining high performance.
• Security: Conduct rigorous security testing to identify vulnerabilities and implement robust security measures. Ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted through our APIs.
• Performance Testing: Work with cross-functional teams to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize API responsiveness. Use performance testing tools and methodologies to achieve this.
• Scalability Enhancement: Collaborate with the development team to improve the scalability and performance of existing APIs. Implement strategies that allow our APIs to scale alongside user demand.
• API Standards: Elevate our APIs to institutional-grade standards by following best practices, adhering to coding standards, and ensuring high levels of quality and reliability.
• Industry Trends: Stay informed about industry trends and emerging technologies in API development. Incorporate the latest advancements into our API strategies and processes.

About OPEN Data and Infrastructure Day

We are hosting the OPEN Conference and Hackathon, an annual event that brings together developers, data scientists, entrepreneurs, regulators, and large corporations to explore how Web3 is disrupting current and past internet systems. The primary goal is to raise awareness about the importance and urgency of addressing the concentration of power over data and IT technologies.

We aim to provide valuable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities presented by Web 3.0, the next generation of the internet.

Why Explore Decentralization?

Centralized systems concentrate power in ways that can lead to irresponsible use, regardless of ethical or moral codes. Control over data, for example, has been exploited commercially to influence societal behavior and thought. Web 3.0 offers a chance to rethink, redefine, and build better technologies that focus on decentralization and the empowerment of individuals.

The OPEN conference, as part of the Web3 space, will be a forum for challenging ideas about how we build technologies, infrastructures, and standards for the future of the internet.
