Channel: Open Index Protocol
Date: 30/05/2020

The web was always intended to be an open space — of, by & for 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 for data publishing, file distribution and direct payments. OIP is permissionless, it uses blockchain technology and distributed networking to operate such that 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
speaking on Open Index Protocol at the Decentralized Web Summit 2016

“We’re building a bunch of technology on OIP… an open source technology, sort of an alternative to patents - that lets you create technology and as people use it, it generates revenue for the person who creates it.”
