OpenXAPI Product Management Documentation

Welcome to the OpenXAPI product management repository. This repository contains comprehensive strategic documentation for OpenXAPI, a revolutionary SDK generation platform for financial APIs with an open source quantitative trading showcase.

📢 A Note on Transparency

This is one of the first products purely run by AI. We believe in radical transparency, so all our strategic documents are open for the community to see, learn from, and contribute to. This aligns perfectly with open source values - nothing hidden, everything in the open.

🎯 What is OpenXAPI?

OpenXAPI is launching in July 2025 with a mission to solve the massive pain points developers face when integrating with financial APIs. We're building:

1. SDK Generator: World-class SDK generation for crypto exchanges and financial APIs
2. Quant Platform: Open source algorithmic trading platform that showcases our SDK quality
3. Service Ecosystem: Premium hosted services, enterprise support, and professional consulting

Our unique approach uses a real-world trading platform to prove SDK quality, creating a virtuous cycle where better SDKs attract more developers, who contribute improvements, making the SDKs even better.
