Arkeo. Installing the node

Arkeo is a decentralized solution for storing node data. The project aims to create a censorship-resistant open platform for sharing various types of indexed node data. Arkeo achieves this goal with a proprietary blockchain system built on the Cosmos SDK, which allows the coordination and provisioning of different blockchain nodes on the same marketplace.

A decentralized platform for all data nodes

Arkeo was created to provide decentralized applications with an accelerated development pace, censorship protection, and most importantly, a fully decentralized user interface in the Web3 stack. Arkeo is a market-driven solution for decentralized infrastructure to reduce dependency on centralized data sources.
