+ +Is Swash "friendly" forking the Ocean market? They seem to have their own version of Ocean market/compute using the Swash token for transactions. + +Anyone can fork Ocean Market; the core team encourages this because it drives value to Ocean ecosystem and OCEAN token. Daimler / Acentrik and deltaDAO are prime example of forks. Swash has published data assets on Ocean Market. Details: the Ocean Market repo (github.com/oceanprotocol/market) is a permissive open-source license (Apache 2). That code uses Ocean contracts deployed to Eth mainnet and elsewhere. Within hours one can fork Ocean Market code and launch their own data marketplace with their own branding. Ocean Market or the forks can use any token as unit-of-exchange, OCEAN or otherwise. Unit-of-exchange is weak for value accrual. Better is *revenue* going to the protocol community; Ocean has that via whenever a datatoken is consumed, 0.1% goes to the Ocean community.

+ +How can I convert tokens from the BEP20 network to the ERC20 network? + +We have a tutorial specific for this: https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/discover/networks/bridges#binance-smart-chain-bsc-bridge. Please double check the addresses and make sure you are using the right smart contracts. ⁣ + + +
+ +
+ +How to bridge my mOcean back to Ocean? Can mOcean be bridged? What is the correct Ocean contract address on the Matic network? Where can I find it? + +OCEAN token address on polygon is 0x282d8efCe846A88B159800bd4130ad77443Fa1A1 . + +Yes, the tokens can be bridged. Please follow this tutorial to bridge to/from polygon: https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/discover/networks/bridges#polygon-ex-matic-bridge + +
+ + + +
+ +Is there any reading material available on how privacy works in compute-to-data through the use of containers/kube? + + +I believe you'll find this resource highly beneficial: https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/compute-to-data/compute-to-data-architecture. + +
+ +
+ +Is it possible to reverse engineer a dataset on Ocean by having access to both the algorithm and the output? + +Not to our knowledge. But please, give it a shot and share the results with us 😄 + + + +
+ + + + + +
+ +What are the Ocean faucets and how can they be used? + + +Ocean offers faucets for every test network where the smart contracts are deployed. These faucets provide test Ocean tokens, allowing you to experiment with various functionalities of the platform. It's important to note that the tokens on these networks do not have any real-world value and are exclusively intended for testing purposes. Here are the faucets available: + +1. Goerli: https://faucet.goerli.oceanprotocol.com/ +2. Mumbai: https://faucet.mumbai.oceanprotocol.com/ +3. Sepolia: https://faucet.sepolia.oceanprotocol.com/" + +

+ + +If a dataset consists of 100 individuals' private data, does this solution allow each individual to maintain sovereign control over their data while still enabling algorithms to compute as if it were one dataset? + +Each individual could publish their dataset themselves, to get a data NFT. From the data NFT, they can mint datatokens which are to access the data. They have sovereign control over this, as hold the keys to the data NFTs and datatokens, and have great flexibility in how to give others access. For example, they could send a datatoken to a DAO for the DAO can manage. Or they could grant datatoken-minting permissions to the DAO. The DAO could use this to assemble a dataset across 100 individuals. ⁣ +⁣ +Learn more about Data NFTs here - https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/contracts/data-nfts ⁣ + + +
+ +
+ +To what extent is Ocean becoming fully decentralized? +To be fully decentralized means no single point of control, at any level of the stack. The OCEAN token is already fully decentralized. The Ocean core tech stack is already fully decentralized too: smart contracts on permissionless chains, and anyone can run support middleware. The Data Farming incentives program has some centralized components; we aim to decentralize those in the next 12-24 months. ⁣ +⁣ +1) Details about the Ocean Token: https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/control-over-the-ocean-contract-to-be-revoked-soon-overview-6c5b15be2db ⁣ +⁣ +2) Details about the core stack: https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/oceans-on-ethereum-mainnet-ba9be1aee0ce ⁣ +⁣ +3) Details about Data Farming: https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/oceandao-is-going-fully-decentralized-and-autonomous-cb4b725e0360 ⁣ + +
