About ATTO Research

ATTO Research, established in 2017 by founders Paul-Adrien Cormerais and Olivier Claude, operates within the domain of decentralized data protocols. The company's genesis is rooted in the founders' previous experiences, notably with the creation of the commercial OpenStack cloud provider, RunAbove. This background in cloud infrastructure and data management appears to have directly informed the development of ATTO's core offering.

The firm has developed the ATTO protocol, a decentralized data streaming protocol designed for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. This protocol facilitates secure and auditable data exchanges between connected devices, positioning itself as a foundational layer for the Internet of Things (IoT) data economy. Its architecture enables the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) that can process real-time data streams from various sources. The business targets developers and organizations operating in the IoT and M2M sectors, providing them with the tools to build applications on top of its protocol.

The company's primary product is a suite of software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow for the integration of the ATTO protocol. A key feature is the ability to create auditable data trails, which is particularly relevant for applications requiring high levels of security and transparency, such as supply chain management, smart grids, and connected vehicles. The revenue model is likely centered around providing tools, support, and potentially transaction-based fees for services built upon its protocol, catering to a client base that requires robust and secure data streaming capabilities for their IoT deployments.
