About Openmesh and Pythia

Today a handful of corporations control 90% of the world’s data and IT infrastructure and we are expected to trust them. This is not just bad for business; it’s bad for everyone. Information asymmetry has led to social inequality, scandals, polarization, and corruption. Sometimes, it has even led to war. Centralized data control acts as a potential chokepoint for innovation, raises privacy concerns, and creates a bottleneck for the free flow of data.

Openmesh is a cutting-edge new open-source cloud infrastructure and a global open data network aimed at storing important global data without a middleman. It is the largest open web3 data lake, covering approximately 80% of the entire crypto and web3 ecosystem today. In 2023 and 2024, we aim to expand our data coverage to include public health and scientific research data.

Openmesh enables anyone to create their own decentralized data cloud, connect globally, share data securely, slash deployment costs, and automate data cloud setup. The Openmesh Network is designed to collect, store, process, stream, and provide data connectivity for anyone, anywhere, anytime, without the need for registration, licensing, or payments. Think of Openmesh as the internet’s open data fabric. It grants universal access and prevents interferences created by regulators, governments, corporations, and even its own creators. The possibilities are endless.

Our vision

Our vision is to democratize data and address information asymmetry at a scale. Data & information is the most valuable commodity in the world. Without quality, reliable data all webpages, apps, and the entire internet will stop working. We believe access to reliable unedited information is a fundamental right- an aspect of a free and democratic society. The Core Principles of Openmesh, by design, has no single authority that can alter its data, how the information is distributed or controlled, or who can see what and when. The infrastructure and entire technology stack is open-source and governed by an open-source community.

Our Culture 

We live and breathe in crypto and blockchain 24/7. We love taking on big challenges. Crypto is a thriving, wild 24/7 industry. Solving problems and building the technology means we have to do a 100x better job than a typical one. It pushes our imagination and creativity to its limits.Our goal is to foster an environment where ideas are valued based on their merit, encouraging the development of significant work and deep relationships. This is achieved through a commitment to radical honesty and radical transparency. We expect our team members to be thoroughly open-minded, engage in constructive debates, challenge each other’s reasoning, and embrace the discovery of errors and weaknesses as positive steps towards growth and innovation. It’s through this relentless pursuit of truth and excellence that we cultivate strong relationships and build profound products.
