Ocean Protocol

Ocean believes "big data" severely disadvantages users and network participants by sharing and monetizing their data while users have little-to-no control over the process. To fix this, the Ocean team aims to build a decentralized data exchange protocol that lets consumers, corporations, and everyone in between exchange data with symmetric control and transparency. Ocean also aims to activate massive amounts of dormant or un-used data by incentivizing participants through monetization. The ultimate goal of this protocol is to fuel continued artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, a technology that relies heavily on data inputs and a robust, reliable data market.

Ocean thinks the key to a sustainable, profitable data market is ensuring that providers and custodians feel safe when sharing data. A peer-to-peer protocol for data sharing is Ocean's solution.
