​Workshop: Exploring the Future of Web3 with Open Data and Infrastructure

​Data and IT infrastructure are the most valuable commodities in the world. Today, four to five 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. The Xnode Studio is a platform for infrastructure design, development, and management solutions 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.

​

​Theme: The pivotal role of open data and open infrastructure in shaping the next 5-10 years of Web3.

​Workshop Overview:

  • ​​DePIN Basics and Evolution: An introduction to Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), their development, key breakthroughs, and future applications.

  • ​Building Web2 and Web3 infrastructure like Lego blocks and hosting on decentralized cloud rather than corporate-owned clouds that create centralized chokepoints.

  • ​Introduction to Xnode—Decentralized Virtual Machine (DVM)

  • ​DePIN’s killer apps for 2024 and beyond

​Workshop Structure:

  • ​Introduction: The session will begin with educational and inspirational content addressing significant issues in the current landscape. For instance, the fact that 90% of the world's data and IT infrastructure is controlled by 5-6 companies and the implications of this centralization.

  • ​​DePIN Industry Insights: A comprehensive look at the evolution of the DePIN industry, highlighting major breakthroughs and future use cases.

  • ​Practical Guidance for Developers and Founders: The final 10 minutes will be dedicated to startup founders and developers, providing practical walktrough on how to build and manage their infrastructure using Xnode.

​Outcomes for Participants:

  • ​​Awareness and Inspiration: Gain a deeper understanding of the issues with centralized cloud services and discover the true potential of the DePIN industry.

  • ​Access to Xnode and Xnode Studio.

  • ​Practical Steps for Decentralized Projects: Learn actionable steps to start your own decentralized applications and projects.

  • ​​Educational Resources: Receive free access to Openmesh Academy for further learning about DePIN.

  • ​Essential Tools and Resources: Learn about key tools and resources available to developers and startup founders.

  • ​Networking and Support: Access to Circle, a platform for DePIN research papers, developer resources, expert connections, and project opportunities.​

​Special Incentive:

​Participants will be randomly given away the world’s first Openmesh Xnodes. Each Xnode has 12 months access to a Decentralized Virtual Machine with storage and compute capabilities equivalent to $3,500 USD of public cloud resource*.

​*Full T&C available on redemption website
