Modular data source

OpenLayer supports multiple kinds of data sources.

For data publicly available on the internet, we allow developers to easily add a new data type by specifying the source. No need to wait for approval or pay hefty upfront costs and they will be able to start using the verified data streams.

For data held privately by individual users, the open platform also enables any data requestor to come and specify what they need and how to fetch it, and each user operator will be able to easily opt in to provide desensitized data for a reward.

Later down the road, more data sources can be defined by developers too. A unified API will define the communication between operators and the OpenLayer platform as well as other validation services.
