4 min readDec 30, 2022

2021 was an exciting year for Oort. Positioned as the Web3 data infrastructure, Oort’s mission to create an intuitive, secure, and scalable web3 experience for end-users has been a priority, and we are pleased to report that we started the year with a team of passionate innovators and ended it with an industry-leading decentralized data solution platform, an impressive network of partnerships, and a bright future ahead of us. With more products and a testnet on the way, we have much to celebrate as we look back at our accomplishments in 2022.

New Name, New Chapter.

In 2022, we scaled up from Computecoin to Oort.

Oort is a continuation of Computecoin that operates the same vision: to build the cornerstone of Web3. Our name, Oort, is taken from Oort Cloud, the theoretical edge of our solar system and human civilization. At Oort, we strive to challenge ourselves and others to create new values that push the boundaries of the next age of the internet.

New Products: Oort DSS & Oort DEN

As the first step to help users, businesses, and developers easily and seamlessly transport their data to Web3, Oort launched two flagship products: Oort DSS and Oort DEN.

Oort DSS | Decentralized Storage Service

Oort DSS is an all-inclusive, low-cost, secure decentralized storage with a developer-centric design.

Oort DEN | Decentralized Edge Network

Oort DEN is a decentralized edge network that enables the internet scalability of Web3 infrastructure.

Accelerate Web3 content delivery
Speed Up Web3 file indexing
Data analytics at the edge
Enhanced security

With Oort DEN, Oort introduced Deimos, the edge node device built for Oort DEN with computing and storage capabilities suitable for any household setting. Deimos will be manufactured and available to purchase through Deimos Eco-partners. To test Oort DEN’s network stability, Oort will launch the third phase of its testnet, Ascraeus, where miners will use Deimos to mine in 2023.
