About
The Open Yellow Pages
What is OpenYP?
OpenYP is a modern business and professional directory built on the belief that finding real people and real businesses shouldn't require wading through bots, fake reviews, and pay-to-rank spam. We use on-chain identity — via Base and Zora L2 — to verify listings at the source, so every result you see is backed by a real wallet, a real person, or a real business.
Why we built it
The original Yellow Pages democratized local commerce. Decades later, online directories became gatekeepers — charging businesses for visibility and selling user data to advertisers. OpenYP is our answer: an open, public directory with no ads, no lock-in, and no middlemen deciding who gets found.
Open by design
Listing data is publicly accessible via our API. No paywalls, no rate-limit surprises for reasonable use. Your listing belongs to you — you can export it, update it, or remove it at any time. We believe open data creates a healthier internet for everyone.
The company
OpenYP is operated by OpenYP, LLC, an independent company. We're a small team building something we wish existed. If that sounds like something you'd like to contribute to — as a developer, a partner, or an early listing — we'd love to hear from you.
