Openmesh Overview

Openmesh is building a fully decentralized cloud, data, and oracle network that eliminates the need for middlemen and centralized servers. By providing decentralized, permissionless cloud infrastructure, Openmesh ensures that blockchain nodes, Web3, and even Web2 applications can operate seamlessly without the threat of regulatory overreach or centralized control. With Openmesh, trust is embedded in the system itself, validated by a decentralized network of independent, anonymous validators, ensuring immutability and security by design.
Despite Web3's decentralization ethos, approximately 80% of Web3 services (dApps, frontends, databases, validator nodes) rely on centralized cloud platforms. This centralization introduces vulnerabilities and contradicts Web3 principles.

Openmesh leverages Xnode technology to create a truly decentralized cloud infrastructure:
Distributed Xnodes: Replace centralized data centers with a network of distributed nodes.
XnodeOS: Custom operating system based on NixOS, ensuring reproducible and verifiable system states.
Wallet-Based Authentication: Ethereum wallet integration for enhanced security and user sovereignty.
Open-Source Codebase: Enables community auditing and continuous improvement.
Xnode Studio: Web-based interface for deployment and management of decentralized applications.
Permissionless Access: No KYC required, accessible via crypto wallet
Cost Efficiency: Up to 80% reduction in costs compared to traditional cloud services
Native Blockchain Integration: Built-in interoperability with Web3 technologies
One-Click Deployment: Simplified deployment of complex applications
Infrastructure Ownership: Users can own pieces of the infrastructure through the Xnode One NFT program
Openmesh integrates Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Data Feeds, enabling:
Cross-chain communication
Trustless token transfers
Access to off-chain data
Up to 90% true decentralization in applications
This integration facilitates the development of cross-chain DeFi protocols, decentralized data marketplaces, and blockchain-based IoT solutions.
