_San Francisco — Edge & Node has joined LF Decentralized Trust, advancing open standards for interoperable Web3 and AI infrastructure in the next era of the internet._

By joining LF Decentralized Trust, **[Edge & Node](https://www.edgeandnode.com/)** expands its long-standing mission to build verifiable, tamper-resistant data infrastructure that developers, enterprises, and AI systems can trust at scale.

As the original team behind **[The Graph](https://thegraph.com/)**, Edge & Node helped pioneer decentralized data access through innovations such as Subgraphs, Graph Node, and now emerging products like **Amp** and **Ampersend** — tooling designed to unify blockchain-native data and agent-based interoperability.

> **“Joining LF Decentralized Trust aligns with our belief that open standards are the foundation for the next era of innovation. For years, we’ve built decentralized systems that make the internet more open and verifiable. Contributing to this community allows us to help shape standards that ensure interoperability, trust, and transparency across Web3 and AI ecosystems.”**

## **A Collaborative Effort to Build Open Standards**

The **[Linux Foundation’s Decentralized Trust initiative](https://www.lfdecentralizedtrust.org/)** brings together leaders from blockchain, fintech, enterprise IT, and decentralized identity to develop shared codebases and standards for interoperable, transparent ecosystems. Members collaborate on:

- trust-minimized infrastructure
- open data frameworks
- industry-grade interoperability standards
- decentralized identity, communication, and compute layers

Edge & Node enters the consortium with deep expertise in decentralized data — having supported **trillions of queries** across hundreds of networks through **[The Graph’s global indexing protocol.](https://thegraph.com/)**

> **“Edge & Node brings both technical depth and a strong commitment to open standards. Their participation strengthens our work to build enterprise-grade technologies that will power a decentralized future.”**

## **Why Edge & Node Matters in This Moment**

As blockchain systems merge with AI, enterprises, and global data networks, the need for trustworthy, interoperable, and verifiable infrastructure is becoming urgent. Edge & Node is one of the few organizations that sits at the intersection of:

- decentralized data indexing
- open-source protocol development
- cross-chain interoperability
- agent-based data architectures
- enterprise-readiness for Web3

Their recent launches — **[Amp and Ampersend](https://blockster.com/edge-node-launches-ampersend-a-control-layer-for-the-coming-ai-agent-economy)** — reflect a push toward open frameworks that allow agents, networks, and applications to interact using transparent, blockchain-native data. These are precisely the kinds of technologies LF Decentralized Trust aims to advance.

## **Building the Next Internet — Open, Verifiable, and Interoperable**

The partnership reinforces a broader vision shared across both teams: an internet where data flows freely between networks, users retain sovereignty over their information, and applications — from AI models to financial systems — can verify the integrity of the data they rely on.
