About OTTP

What Is OTTP?

Open to the Public (OTTP) is an open protocol for co-creating, attesting to, and owning your collaboration graph. Think of it as a public space where anyone can:

• 🔍 Browse existing projects
• ✍️ Contribute work
• 🚀 Create new initiatives

All while establishing verified records of who did what and with whom.

Why Use OTTP?
