# About GrandNode

GrandNode is an open-source e-commerce platform for .NET and MongoDB. We started it in 2015 with one idea: an online store that developers can build on for years - fast, complete, and free to run, change and host wherever they want.

### Our story

- **2015** - work starts on an independent e-commerce platform built on .NET and MongoDB; the first beta is released in December.
- **2016** - the first stable version of GrandNode, in January.
- **2021** - GrandNode 2.0, rebuilt from the ground up on ASP.NET Core, becomes the only line we develop.
- **2026** - [GrandNode 2.4](https://grandnode.com/whats-new-in-grandnode-24): .NET 10, a panel for store owners and a security overhaul.

### GrandNode in numbers

GrandNode 2, as of October 2026:

- more than **1,300 stars** and **500 forks** on [GitHub](https://github.com/grandnode/grandnode2);
- about **119,000 pulls** of the Docker image;
- over **30 contributors** and 20 releases.

### Free software, funded by services

GrandNode is licensed under the [GPL-3.0](https://grandnode.com/license) and stays free. The full source code is on [GitHub](https://github.com/grandnode/grandnode2), and security fixes for the latest version are published for everyone.

We fund the project with services for companies that run GrandNode in production: [GrandNode Official](https://grandnode.com/official) (long-term support releases with backported security fixes), [store certification](https://grandnode.com/certification) and [data migration](https://grandnode.com/migration) from other platforms. The code is the same for everyone; what you pay for is the service around it.

### What we care about

- **Built in, not bolted on:** B2B, multi-store, a marketplace and a headless API come with the platform - see [Features](https://grandnode.com/features).
- **Long horizons:** clear support periods and upgrade paths, so a store can run on GrandNode for years.
- **Honest status:** every feature on this site is marked available, early access or coming soon - see the [roadmap](https://grandnode.com/roadmap).
- **Your data, your store:** self-hosted, in your own database, with no fees tied to your revenue.

### This site runs on GrandNode

grandnode.com is a GrandNode store: the plans and services are products, the documentation is its knowledgebase and this page is one of its CMS pages. What you see here is what the platform does.
