Open Network
[/ˈoʊpən ˈnetwɜːk/]
Definitions
A decentralized collection of interconnected sites, APIs, and agents that operate on shared open standards rather than proprietary lock-in. An open network allows any conforming node to join, participate, and be discovered without needing permission from a central authority.
“PlatPhorm is designed as an open network so third-party tools can plug in via MCP or standard REST APIs.”
