We envision a thriving ecosystem of researchers, data scientists, entrepreneurs, quants, traders, financial engineers, protocol architects, startups, lawyers, and regulators using Openmesh Open Data Infrastructure for live and unedited, tamper-proof historical information to build various applications from research & data analytics, trading, risk management, financial engineering, financial forensics, etc.

Q: What is Openmesh's mission?

A: Openmesh's mission is to address the information asymmetry in Web 3.0 by democratizing data and providing everyone with access to quality, immutable data for free, forever.

Q: How did Openmesh start?

A: Openmesh has been in the blockchain and crypto space since 2015 and faced issues with data quality and cost from centralized data providers. The team decided to build its own data lake, which took more than a year to build, but now covers 70% of the entire crypto and Web 3.0 transactional data market.
