OpenCom

What OpenCom does

OpenCom (operating as OpenCom 群老大 / Group Boss) is a Guangzhou-based, privately held community platform company founded in 2012 by former Tencent Security Platform engineer Li Jingqiu. Its core product is a self-serve SaaS community tool sold primarily through a 99 RMB/month marketing-package subscription that lets community operators launch a branded community app in roughly one minute; platform materials claim more than 100,000 communities created and roughly 10-20 million community members reached, of which over 4 million are registered users. The platform supports three community archetypes (public, private, paid member) and bundles paid content, e-commerce, red-packet Q&A, and member management into a single product, with revenue participation for operators via capped revenue-share configurations.

Underpinning the consumer product is 6DGS Cloud, a proprietary blockchain middleware that implements OpenCom's patented Six Degrees Consensus (六度共识) algorithm. The architecture treats each token-account as an independent forked chain and propagates transactions across up to six related accounts in a tree structure, enabling 10-30ms write synchronization and a reduced API surface of just four HTTP endpoints (fork, send, op, chain) plus a WebSocket "Instant Chain" channel with sub-0.2-second sync. The 6DGS product suite spans G-node (lightweight node service from 60 RMB/month), the enterprise Cloud Chain Host (88,888 RMB one-time), Cloud SMS (0.03 RMB/message), Cloud Email (0.01 RMB/email), Cloud Payment (aggregating WeChat Pay and Alipay with a 5% recharge fee), and a Cloud Incubator offering blockchain startup services.

The business model is multi-stream and SMB-led: recurring subscription for the consumer marketing package, recurring G-node fees, one-time Cloud Chain Host hardware/software licenses, transactional commissions (knowledge payments, e-commerce, withdrawals), and pay-as-you-go cloud utilities (SMS, email, payment). Customer segments are primarily Chinese community operators ("群主"), with secondary enterprise and digital-legal-currency application use cases targeting smart city, smart park, and traceability deployments through 6DGS. Operations are concentrated in China (Guangzhou HQ plus Shanghai, Foshan and Shenzhen offices), with claimed but unverified distribution in Southeast Asia and Australia; cloud delivery runs on Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu Cloud. The company has disclosed angel and Series A rounds totaling approximately $6.35M between 2014 and 2015, and explicitly claims a 500M RMB valuation for its 群老大 flagship product — although no revenue, ARR, GMV, or post-2015 funding has been publicly disclosed.
