# Open Network

## **About Open Network**

OPEN is the native cryptocurrency of Open Network. Open Network is a blockchain interoperability protocol that founded in April 2023. It is a sharded blockchain, meaning it connects several different chains together in a single network, allowing them to process transactions in parallel and exchange data between chains without sacrificing security.

## Open Network Vision

OPEN vision is to create an intelligent blockchain ecosystem accommodating developers and investors.

Open Network prioritizes transparency and confidence of investors in project development and we believe this plays a crucial role in the lifecycle of a cryptocurrency project.
