ABOUT:
Open Index Protocol creates a public space for content distribution on the internet. It’s the technical solution to the problem of walled garden platforms monopolizing the web.

The web was always intended to be an open space — of, for & by the People.

But the web has become monopolized by a handful of walled garden platforms who control the infrastructure, because when the web began, the technology didn’t exist to build an open source protocol for indexing & distribution. 

Open Index Protocol (OIP) is an open source specification for a persistent worldwide index and file library for data publishing, file distribution and direct payments. OIP is permissionless, it uses blockchain technology and distributed networking to operate with no central authority: record indexing, file storage/distribution and transaction management are carried out collectively by the decentralized network.

“This is thrilling! I’ve been saying for a long time we need to find a way to get money to artists, directly. This seems to be a really good contender for the way to do it!”
-Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web
