Open (also known as webisOpen on X, collective
includes RSS3) is transforming virological research and
decentralized science (DeSci) through its innovative Open Virtual
Machine (OVM). This technology, integrated with the Compute
Wormhole, facilitates the on-chain analysis of genetic similarities
between two viruses: SARS-CoV-2 (sequenced in
Wuhan, 2019) and SARS-CoV (sequenced in Toronto,
2003).
This analysis is performed fully on-chain using Open’s
Open Virtual Machine (OVM) within a
Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) (together
known as Open’s Compute Wormhole) utilizing and bridging
decentralized compute from Hyperbolic Labs, to ensure integrity,
immutability, determinism, and resistance to tampering.
Additionally, OVM guarantees verifiability through on-chain
transactions, promoting transparency and trust in the results.
This demo and experiment of Open Desci Platform Alpha and its
record on-chain (on Open Chain) has also been released to the
public to showcase the power of OVM to the public. Users can check

The Research Challenge
Decoding the genetic fingerprints of viruses has traditionally
required expensive supercomputers and extensive
infrastructure—resources often out of reach for many researchers.
For years, virologists have been constrained by financial and
logistical challenges, forcing them to focus more on acquiring
equipment than advancing scientific discovery. Moreover, the
reliance on private or centralized computing resources has limited
peer reviews, making it difficult to reproduce results and raising
concerns about the integrity, reliability, and trustworthiness of
the findings.
Entering the OVM Revolution
The Open Virtual Machine (OVM) offers a high-performance,
decentralized, and verifiable compute layer, designed to
democratize access to advanced computational resources. Its
implementation begins with a demonstration and experimental
applications on Open Chain, showcasing its
capabilities in bridging decentralized computation with the
immutability of blockchain technology. By bridging powerful
decentralized computation with blockchain immutability, OVM is a
Data Wormhole for innovations like verifiable and transparent AI
and DeSci. The Open collective includes @RSS3_, @_RSSHub, and @openinfo.
RSS3 is a decentralized network indexing and structuring data,
delivering accessible and valuable Open Information to the next X

science (also known as DeSci).
Key Features of OVM in Decentralized
Science
- Reproducibility Guaranteed: Every computation
is verifiable and reproducible, a critical feature for
peer-reviewed scientific research.
- Secure Data Processing: A built-in Trusted
Execution Environment (TEE) safeguards sensitive data, ensuring
integrity and tamper resistance throughout the computational
process.
- Effortless Genomic Analysis: Researchers can
now compare viral genomes, such as [SARS-CoV-2] and [SARS-Tor-2], in a
decentralized and democratized manner, without permission and
access to exclusive and expensive hardware.
These capabilities highlight the expanding potential of OVM in
decentralized science (DeSci), paving the way for further
innovations in transparent and democratized research.
The Bridge Between Blockchain and
Beyond
OVM’s architecture introduces a framework that integrates
blockchain’s on-chain immutability with scalable, decentralized
computing resources, including GPU support for demanding
computational tasks. This design enables efficient execution of
compute-intensive applications, such as:
- AI and Machine Learning Training
- DeFi Risk Assessments and Financial Modeling
- Real-Time DeSci, Gaming, and Metaverse
Simulations
Whether it’s simulating virus interactions, optimizing
decentralized finance protocols, or powering the next-gen virtual
worlds, OVM provides immutable, verifiable, and transparent
computational solutions. These advanced capabilities demonstrate
the potential of decentralized systems to address complex,
real-world challenges.
Democratizing Research, Unlocking
Discovery
OVM enables researchers worldwide to access advanced
computational resources without reliance on costly infrastructure.
By prioritizing accessibility, the platform emphasizes scientific
innovation over financial constraints. This approach fosters global
collaboration, empowering researchers to address critical
challenges such as pandemics and climate change.
Open and Modular by Design
OVM’s modular architecture allows decentralized applications to
tap into scalable computing power through partnerships with
decentralized providers like Hyperbolic, Gensyn.ai, and Aethir Cloud, or virtually anyone with spare
computational resources. This design supports the creation of an
open and transparent ecosystem for research and development,
accessible globally and at any time.
Exploring OVM-Powered Genomic Analysis (Coming Soon on
Mainnet)
The OVM-powered infrastructure will enable users to analyze the
genetic sequences of:
The Open DeSci team is preparing to release the Alpha version of
its demo and experimental platform. This release will showcase the
capabilities of OVM in performing DNA sequence alignment, providing
a practical example of its potential in decentralized science.
The Future of Compute is Open
Available now on Open Chain for demo purposes, with support for
more platforms on the horizon, OVM is ushering in a new era of
decentralized science. By bridging the gap between blockchain and
advanced decentralized computation, OVM unlocks the true potential
of the Open Web and DeSci, paving the way for breakthroughs in
Science, AI, and beyond.
OVM removes infrastructure barriers, enabling scientific
progress to be driven by creativity and innovation. This approach
represents a significant step forward in the evolution of open
science.
