The EDEN Network

EDEN is a network of networks. Traditional IT systems centralize the control of information in private databases. As a better alternative, and to achieve the network-effect benefits of decentralization, we create open communication protocols that define the types of information, transactions, and relationships supported by the network. These open protocols will define a library of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that empowers anyone to connect their existing information systems to our network. Having open APIs ensures that there is little to no barrier of entry to join the network. As a result, we will see the creation of a new digital marketplace that lowers the cost of transacting information between supply-chain actors.

The EDEN Network provides an open-source protocol that enables secure data exchange between network participants using the blockchain. EDEN allows data generators to be data owners and have autonomy of how their data is used or sold.
