OpenLayer.xyz: The AI Data Layer for a Trusted Web3 Future

OpenLayer is rethinking how AI and Web3 interact by building a modular data layer that makes information more verifiable, private, and accessible. Founded in 2023 by former engineers from Robinhood, Google, Facebook, and Dropbox—Yuchen Jiang, Kaiwen Yin, and Chen Chen—the project reflects deep roots in both consumer tech and scalable infrastructure.

Instead of treating data as a static asset, OpenLayer allows users to actively share and verify data through a simple Chrome extension. Developers can request permissioned access, while users retain control. The result? A more honest data economy that works across platforms—from traditional web services to decentralized networks.

One of OpenLayer’s biggest strengths lies in its ability to power privacy-first AI. Whether it’s certifying achievements, fine-tuning models, or helping dApps identify real users, OpenLayer ensures the data is real—and the process is secure.

Under the hood, it’s integrated with Ethereum’s EigenLayer protocol, inheriting the security of billions in staked assets and a vibrant user base. Think social apps, on-chain games, AI agents—all operating with verified data from day one.

To protect users, OpenLayer employs advanced cryptography: three-party TLS protocols, decentralized notary servers, and selective sharing tools that ensure your data is used with integrity. It’s private by design, scalable by architecture.

The move to OpenLayer.xyz signals more than a new domain. It aligns the project with a bold generation of internet builders. The .xyz extension has become a go-to for Web3 visionaries—and OpenLayer fits right in.

From user-owned data to AI-ready infrastructure, OpenLayer.xyz is setting the foundation for a more transparent, privacy-respecting digital world.
