OpenGarden (@OpenGarden) — Twitter Score 10 out of 1000

OpenGarden is a defunct peer-to-peer mesh-networking company that built bandwidth-sharing technology and the offline messaging app FireChat. OpenGarden's Twitter Score is 9.6 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #96,758 among 486,860 tracked accounts.

OpenGarden was co-founded by Micha Benoliel, Stanislav Shalunov, Taylor Ongaro, and Greg Hazel, launching its mesh-networking platform at TechCrunch Disrupt NY in 2012. FireChat gained attention as an app enabling messaging without an internet connection by routing data across nearby devices. In December 2017, OpenGarden announced plans to issue an Ethereum token, ticker $OG, designed to reward users for sharing their Wi-Fi bandwidth. That effort extended into April 2019 with the announcement of the Open Garden Network, through which participants could earn $OG tokens for contributing data. The company is now listed as closed on TechCrunch Startup Battlefield.

OpenGarden previously received backing from Digital Garage, August Capital, Firebolt Ventures, Future Perfect Ventures, Kima Ventures, Tseung Kwan Ventures, and Sherpalo. OpenGarden has published 3,409 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 39 accounts, totaling 87 mentions.
