- -Is the ocean still about stake and earn? - -Staking and earning are part of the project, incentivizing people and curating data assets. But this is just one part, We encourage you to discover more about the project by going through the [docs](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/). - -
- -
- -How is the performance of the data market? - -There are a wide host of technical, business and cultural barriers to overcome before volume sales can scale. Blockchain and crypto technology is relatively new and adopted by a niche group of enthusiasts. On top, the concept of a Data Economy is still nascent. Data buyers are generally restricted to data scientists, researchers or large corporations, while data providers are mainly corporations and government entities. The commercialization of data is still novel and the processes are being developed and refined. ⁣ - -
- -
- -What are the updates regarding data unions in the Ocean ecosystem? Regarding the value-creation loops for users in the last mile, I'm curious to know how the team intends to unlock this economic opportunity for users beyond data scientists. Specifically, how do you plan to enable users to earn from their data? - -We operate as a protocol, providing tools for others to create valuable projects. As a result, our team is not currently focused on developing a data union directly. However, there are individuals and groups leveraging Ocean technology to construct data unions. An illustrative example is found [here](https://www.dataunion.app/). - -
- -
- -What is a decentralized data marketplace? - -A data marketplace allows providers to publish data and buyers to consume data. Unlike centralized data marketplaces, decentralized ones give users more control over their data, algorithms, and analytics by minimizing custodianship and providing transparent and immutable records of every transaction. With features such as Compute-to-Data (C2D), data and algorithms can be ingested into secure Docker containers where escapes are avoided, protecting both the data and algorithms. - -
- -
- -What is needed to use a decentralized marketplace? - -Users access decentralized marketplaces via Metamask. Metamask is an applet interface that manages unique IDs, generated and controlled fully by the user. These unique IDs (aka Ethereum address) are used to store digital assets such as cryptocurrency, datatokens, NFTs, and other web3 native assets. - -A Metamask wallet can easily be set up as a browser extension by going to your browser’s web store for extensions and searching for “MetaMask”. For additional help setting up your MetaMask wallet, watch our short tutorial video and review these instructions on Ocean’s documentation page. - -Once a user has Metamask installed and an Ethereum address, they can register, consume, or stake on datasets on Ocean Market. - -
- -
- -Is Ocean considered to be in the file storage category? - -No, OCEAN does not store data. When publishing, you are providing the URL (or specs for other types of storage). - -
- -
- -How do I price my data? - -Ocean gives you two different options for pricing your data - [fixed price](../developers/contracts/pricing-schemas.md#fixed-pricing) or [free](../developers/contracts/pricing-schemas.md#free-pricing). You need to decide what your dataset is worth and how you want to price it. You can change the price but you can’t change the price format (e.g. from fixed to free). - -
- -
- -Does Ocean need to be compliant with the ISO 20022 standard? Is there any value in working on compliance, considering that some tokens have taken action in this area? - -Ocean Protocol helps facilitate data sharing and commercialization. At our current stage of development, we have no developed specific industry vertical supports, such as ISO20022 (relating to standardized formats for financial data sharing). - -
- -
- Is my data secure? Yes. Ocean Protocol understands that some data is too sensitive to be shared — potentially due to GDPR or other reasons. For these types of datasets, we offer a unique service called [compute-to-data](../developers/compute-to-data/README.md). This enables you to monetize the dataset that sits behind a firewall without ever revealing the raw data to the consumer. For example, researchers and data scientists pay to run their algorithms on the data set, and the computation is performed behind a firewall; all the researchers or data scientists receive is the results generated by their algorithm. -
-
- -Where is my data stored? - -Ocean does not provide data storage. Publishers have the choice to [store](../user-guides/asset-hosting/README.md) their data on their own servers, cloud, or decentralized storage. Users need only to provide a URL, an IPFS hash, an Arweave CID, or the on-chain information to the dataset. This is then encrypted as a means to protect access to the dataset. - -
+To what extent is Ocean becoming fully decentralized? -Do other associated marketplaces like Acentrik, BigDataProtocol, and datalatte have any connection to the OCEAN token or Data Farming? +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. ⁣ -Several projects use Ocean-components to power their data marketplaces. If these marketplaces are publicly accessible and indexable by Ocean Protocol, they are included in the data farming rewards program. If the marketplaces are closed and private, which cannot be indexed and tracked, then assets and activities are not part of the data farming program. - -
- -
- -How do I control who accesses my data? - -Ocean provides tools for access control, [fine-grained permissions](../developers/fg-permissions.md), passlisting, and blocklisting addresses. Data and AI services can be shared under the conditions set by the owner of the data. There is no central intermediary, which ensures no one can interfere with the transaction and both the publisher and user have transparency. - -
- -
- -Can I restrict who is able to access my dataset? - -Yes - Ocean has implemented [fine-grained permissions](../developers/fg-permissions.md). This means that you can create allow and deny lists that restrict access from certain individuals or limit access to particular organizations. \ -PS: [Fine-grained permissions](../developers/fg-permissions.md) are not integrated into the Ocean Marketplace. - -
- -
- -Do other associated marketplaces like Acentrik, BigDataProtocol, and datalatte have any connection to the OCEAN token or Data Farming? - -Several projects use ocean components to power their data marketplaces. If these marketplaces are publicly accessible and indexable by Ocean Protocol, they are included in the data farming rewards program. If the marketplaces are closed and private, which cannot be indexed and tracked, then assets and activities are not part of the data farming program. - -
- -
- -Considering that the Ocean Market is open source and there are no incentives for industry players to use it, what are the future plans for the project in terms of its economic direction? - -The Ocean Market has consistently served as a showcase for the practical application of Ocean technology. Moreover, it has the potential to set a precedent for the development of other marketplaces within the Ocean ecosystem. - -However, it's important to note that participants using the Ocean stack are subject to transaction fees, which vary depending on the chosen token, either 0.1% or 0.2%. These fees serve the dual purpose of furthering the development of Ocean technology and facilitating the buy-and-burning of the Ocean token. -
- -
- -Where can I find projects on Ocean's ecosystem? - -All the ecosystem information is available on the [website](https://oceanprotocol.com/ecosystem). +1. Details about the [Ocean Token](https://oceanprotocol.com/about-us/ocean-token). +2. Details about the [Core Stack](../developers/contracts/README.md). +3. Details about [Data Farming](../rewards/README.md).

- -
- -What is the 2023 roadmap of Ocean Protocol? - -This [blog post](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-protocol-update-2023-44ed14510051) provides the 2023 goals and plans for the Ocean Core team. -
- -
- -What’s to come with Ocean this year? - -Check out our [roadmap](https://oceanprotocol.com/technology/roadmap) to see what we are currently working on. If you are interested in tracking our progress towards these goals then take a look at our [github](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/). - -
- -
- -Who is the CEO of Ocean Protocol? - -Ocean Protocol is an open-source project with no official lead. The protocol is permissionless and all the code and components are available for free. For administrative purposes, there is a limited liability non-profit company registered in Singapore with three directors including Trent McConaghy and Bruce Pon, co-founders of Ocean. - -
- - -
- -Is there a website or platform that tracks the consume volume of the Ocean market? - -Yes there is - the [Autobot](https://autobotocean.com/) one. - -
- - -
- -Is the Ocean Shipyard funded by $OCEAN? -Ocean Shipyard is an early-stage grant program established to fund the next generation of Web3 dApps built on Ocean Protocol. It is made for entrepreneurs looking to build open-source Web3 solutions on Ocean, make valuable data available, build innovations, and create value for the Ocean ecosystem. - -More info on the [Shipyard](https://oceanprotocol.com/shipyard) page. - - -
- -
- -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 the Ocean ecosystem and OCEAN token. Daimler / Acentrik and deltaDAO are prime examples of forks. Swash has published data assets on Ocean Market. Details: The [Ocean Market](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/market) repo 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 a 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. Ocean Market is one of many templates for people to build Ocean-powered dApps; all templates are forkable. -1. Ocean [Templates](https://oceanprotocol.com/templates). -2.

- -
- -What psdnOCEAN is and how it differs from OCEAN? - -OCEAN is the main currency of the Ocean network, particularly the Ocean Market. [psdnOCEAN](https://docs.h2odata.xyz/protocol-overview/psdnocean-veocean-liquid-staking) is a staking token used for data farming network rewards. By converting OCEAN to psdnOCEAN, users can earn passive staking rewards. psdnOCEAN is not directly affiliated with Ocean Protocol and is operated by an independent entity named H20. Locking contracts for H20 and psdnOCEAN are open source and can be examined publicly. To get psdnOCEAN, users lock their OCEAN and then receive an equivalent amount of psdnOCEAN in return. Although the locking and staking contracts have been audited, users should do their own research and put at risk only the amounts that they are willing to lose. ⁣ - +You can find a list of past data challenges on the [website](https://oceanprotocol.com/challenges).
### Tokenomics
+How does the OCEAN token capture value? -Is OCEAN the only currency used for exchanging data? - -Ocean Market currently supports only $OCEAN and H2O for the exchange of services. Markets such as BDP and Acentrik use another currency for the exchange of services. - +Please see the [token page](https://www.oceanprotocol.com/token) for up-to-date information about OCEAN tokenomics.
- -Is there a burn mechanism for OCEAN tokens? - -A portion of the revenue earned in the Ocean ecosystem is earmarked for buy-and-burn. If the transaction volume on Ocean reaches scale and is broadly adopted to the point where the buy-burn mechanism outruns the emissions of Ocean token, the Ocean token supply would deflate. - -
- -
- -What is the circulating supply of Ocean token? What is the emission schedule for $OCEAN? +What is the circulating supply of Ocean token? What is the emission schedule for OCEAN? All 1.41 Billion Ocean have been [minted](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/control-over-the-ocean-contract-to-be-revoked-soon-overview-6c5b15be2db) with approximately 700 million Ocean in circulation. The remaining 51% of the supply is earmarked on an emission schedule identical to Bitcoin's emission mechanism, including the 4-year half-life. -
- -How does the $OCEAN token capture value? - -The $OCEAN token is used as the [glue](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9) for the Ocean ecosystem. A 0.1% or a 0.2% fee is applied to all transactions performed using Ocean components. This fee is used for further development of Ocean technology and for buy-and-burning of the Ocean token. - -
- -
- -How does the ecosystem and the Ocean token benefit from the usage of the open-source tech stack when transactions can be paid in any currency? - -You are right, all Ocean modules and components are open-source and freely available to the community. Developers can change the default currency from OCEAN to a different one for their marketplace. But, there is a community fee involved in all transactions hapening in the ecosystem. - -The ocean community fees are though dependant on the token used. There is a 0.1% fee for transactions performed using the Ocean or H2O tokens and a 0.2% for transactions using other tokens. - -veOCEAN on the other hand, follows the model of other ve tokens, where it can be used for passive and active staking. By locking up your $OCEAN to veOCEAN, you automatically receive passive staking rewards. You can also earn active staking rewards by assigning your veOCEAN directly on datasets or through a proxy (psdnOCEAN), who deploy your veOCEAN at no risk, in order to gain a share of active rewards. Active rewards are based on transaction volume on specific data assets. - -
- -
- -Can $OCEAN supply become deflationary? +Can OCEAN supply become deflationary? A portion of the revenue earned in the Ocean ecosystem is earmarked for buy-and-burn. If the transaction volume on Ocean reaches scale and is broadly adopted to the point where the buy-burn mechanism outruns the emissions of Ocean token, the Ocean token supply would deflate. -
- -How many tokens did the core team receive? - -The Ocean token [supply](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/control-over-the-ocean-contract-to-be-revoked-soon-overview-6c5b15be2db) is fixed at 1.41 Billion. To date, all tokens have been minted and approximately 720m OCEAN are allocated towards data farming and network rewards. Of the total supply, 10% was allocated to over 100 members of the founding team and developers in exchange for a 5 year commitment to the project. - - -
- -
- -Does OCEAN have a vesting schedule? How were OCEAN tokens allocated during the launch? - -All 1.41 Billion Ocean have been [minted](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/control-over-the-ocean-contract-to-be-revoked-soon-overview-6c5b15be2db ⁣) with approximately 700 million Ocean in circulation. The remaining 51% of the supply is earmarked on an emission schedule identical to Bitcoin's emission mechanism, including the 4 year half-life. - -
- -
- -How many tokens have been burned so far? - -You can view the transactions for the burned tokens on [etherscan](https://etherscan.io/token/0x967da4048cd07ab37855c090aaf366e4ce1b9f48?a=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead). As of September 2023, approximately 1.4 million tokens have been burned. ⁣ - -
- -
- -How is the fee distribution made, and what is the percentage allocated to burning, rewards, and revenue? - -A portion of the revenue earned in the Ocean ecosystem is earmarked for buy-and-burn. If the transaction volume on Ocean reaches scale and is broadly adopted to the point where the buy-burn mechanism outruns the emissions of Ocean token, the [Ocean token supply](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9) would deflate. Also, 5% of Ocean network revenue is assigned for burning. ⁣ - -
- -
- -If any token can be used for payment on marketplaces, how does OCEAN token capture value over time? Where does the higher demand for OCEAN come from? - -The $OCEAN token is used as the glue for the Ocean ecosystem. A 0.1% or a 0.2% fee is applied to all transactions performed using Ocean components. This fee is used for further development of Ocean technology and for buy-and-burning of the Ocean token. - -
- -
- -Where can I find information about the tokenomics and economic aspects of the Ocean Protocol project? - -All 1.41 Billion Ocean have been [minted](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/control-over-the-ocean-contract-to-be-revoked-soon-overview-6c5b15be2db) with approximately 700 million Ocean in circulation. The remaining 51% of the supply is earmarked on an emission schedule identical to Bitcoin's emission mechanism, including the 4 year half-life.⁣ - -
- -
- -Which wallet is best for storing $Ocean tokens? - -OCEAN Token is a standard ERC20 token, so any wallet that can hold ERC20 can hold OCEAN as well. However, we always recommend hardware wallet for security reasons ⁣ - -
- -
- -Can a hardware wallet be used to lock Ocean tokens? - -Yes, either through Metamask (or another software wallet that can connect to a hardware wallet) or through your hardware wallet software - Ledger, Trezor etc. ⁣ - -

- -Can the Ocean tech stack be used without utilizing the OCEAN token? - -All Ocean modules and components are open-source and freely available to the community. Developers can change the default currency from OCEAN to a different one for their marketplace. - -The ocean community fees are though dependant on the token used. There is a 0.1% fee for transactions performed using the Ocean or H2O tokens and a 0.2% for transactions using other tokens. -
- - -
- -When is the next token release scheduled? - -There will not be a next release for the token. To date, all tokens have been [minted](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/control-over-the-ocean-contract-to-be-revoked-soon-overview-6c5b15be2db ⁣) and approximately 720 million OCEAN are allocated towards data farming and network rewards. - -

- -
- Does the OCEAN token also have governance functionality? -During the Ocean DAO grants program (2021-2022), the Ocean token was used for community voting and governance. Currently, there are no governance functions associated with the Ocean Token. In the future, when there is a broader adoption of Ocean technology and a vibrant community and ecosystem has formed around Ocean, further options for community governance with the Ocean token will be explored. - +During the OceanDAO grants program (2021-2022), the Ocean token was used for community voting and governance.

Also, 5% of Ocean network revenue is assigned for burning. - +The Ethereum network has the highest liquidity for OCEAN.
+Can the Ocean tech stack be used without utilizing the OCEAN token? -Could you explain the impact of EUROe on the utility of OCEAN? If transactions are made with EUROe within the Gen-X and GAIA-X ecosystem, how does it affect the use and value of OCEAN? - -3rd party markets such as Gaia-X, BDP, and Acentrik may use another currency for the exchange of services. If these marketplaces are publicly accessible, indexable, and abide by the fee structure set out by Ocean Protocol, transaction fees would be remitted back to the Ocean community. These transaction fees would be allocated according to the [plan](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9) set out. -⁣ -
- - -
- -Does the increasing number of transactions and demand for OCEAN tokens result in a dampening effect due to higher prices? - -$OCEAN token is designed as a utility token, which becomes deflationary when transaction volume reaches scale and exceeds the value of $OCEAN being emitted via Data Farming. Learn more [here](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9). ⁣ - -
- -
- -Is there a stablecoin backed by OCEAN tokens? - -No, there is no stablecoin issued that is backed using $OCEAN. - -
- - - Which blockchain network currently has the highest liquidity for Ocean? - -The Ethereum network has the highest liquidity for $OCEAN. - -
- -### Data Storage - -
- -As Google Drive is not supported in the Ocean ecosystem, what are the alternative options for storing a file and then publishing it? - -Google Drive is an awesome product, but is designed for file sharing between a small group of users and is not properly working with our architecture. ⁣There are a bunch of other systems you can use that work smoothly with our stack. [Here](../developers/storage.md) are some alternatives. +All Ocean modules and components are open-source and freely available to the community. Developers can change the default currency from OCEAN to a different one for their dApp.
+How does the ecosystem and the Ocean token benefit from the usage of the open-source tech stack when transactions can be paid in any currency? -Do you have a tutorial for using Arweave as storing solution for assets? - -You bet we have. [Here](../user-guides/asset-hosting/arweave.md) it is 😎 - +For each consume transaction, the Ocean community gets a small fee. This happens whether OCEAN is used or not. [Here are details](../developers/contracts/fees.md)"
-### Data Challenges +### Data marketplaces
+What is a decentralized data marketplace? -Is there a repository or web page with previous data challenges and submitted solutions? - -You can find a list of past data challenges on our [website](https://oceanprotocol.com/challenges). -Accessing the submitted solutions is currently a work in progress, with one solution already available for the [Catalunya](https://catalunya.oceanprotocol.com/) challenge. - +A data marketplace allows providers to publish data and buyers to consume data. Unlike centralized data marketplaces, decentralized ones give users more control over their data, algorithms, and analytics by minimizing custodianship and providing transparent and immutable records of every transaction. With features such as Compute-to-Data (C2D), data and algorithms can be ingested into secure Docker containers where escapes are avoided, protecting both the data and algorithms.
+Is there a website or platform that tracks the consume volume of the Ocean market? -What are the potential consequences of the data challenges and the value of the algorithms? How do you plan to use the submitted results? - -That's one of the objectives: to cultivate exceptional, valuable algorithms and make them accessible. Currently, the process of accessing the submitted solutions is in progress, with one solution already available for the [Catalunya](https://catalunya.oceanprotocol.com/) challenge. - +Yes there is - the [Autobot](https://autobotocean.com/) one.
+Considering that the Ocean Market is open source, what are the future plans for the project in terms of its economic direction? -When can we expect to see buy/sell activity on the Ocean market based on the DeFi challenges? What factors are currently impacting market activity? - -Soon 😉 Right now we have one for the [Catalunya](https://catalunya.oceanprotocol.com/) challenge. The others are work-in-progress. - +The Ocean Market has consistently served as a showcase for the practical application of Ocean technology. Moreover, it has the potential to set a precedent for the development of other marketplaces within the Ocean ecosystem. +However, it's important to note that participants using the Ocean stack are subject to transaction fees, which vary depending on the chosen token.

-### Data Selling - -
- -How are organizations leveraging data sharing? - -For the most part, organizations are leveraging data sharing to benefit from data monetization, however, increasingly organizations are also sharing data in order to boost their progress on sustainability goals. For example, data aggregated from vehicles can not only bring new revenue streams to automotive firms but can also be used to battle pollution. - -
- -
- -Does it pay to become a marketplace operator? - -Yes. Marketplace operators benefit from earning commissions on marketplace transactions related to data consumption. Ocean Market is primarily focused on monetizing data however it is also designed to handle the sale of any digital asset or service. As a result, the total addressable market goes way beyond revenues from just selling data. Operating costs for an Ocean-powered marketplace are moderate and the base code is open source and available free of charge under the Apache 2 license. - -
- -
- -Why Publish? - -Publishing data, algorithms, and other digital assets and services on an Ocean-powered marketplace offers numerous opportunities to earn on the future revenue streams connected to that data as well as build a lucrative ecosystem that adds value to the published asset. It also allows for the discovery and insights into new use cases and applications of the published asset. - -
- -
- -What about the price fluctuation of Ocean? - -Price fluctuation is mitigated through the use of the Ocean backed stable coin H2O. - -
- -
- -Who pays for gas fees? - -Gas fees for marketplace transactions are paid by the user initiating the transaction (for publishing, consuming, etc). - -
- -
- -Where do the docker containers run? - -Dockers containers can run anywhere. Ocean Market uses a docker run by the Ocean Protocol Foundation OPF); limit: 1 CPU limit / 60 seconds max. NOTE: This means OPF technically has access to data. In the case of a forked Ocean-powered marketplace, the owner of the marketplace must set up a computation environment. If individual users of the marketplace are concerned with security they should be prepared to host both the data and provide compute-to-data services on-premise. - -
- -
- -Who pays for the computation? - -The marketplace owner. - -
- -
- -What cryptocurrency do I need for transactions? - -The type of cryptocurrencies needed for transactions on the marketplace depends on which network(s) the marketplace is running (Ethereum, Polygon, EWT, BSC, Moonriver, etc.). Regardless of network, users will need to have Ocean tokens as well as the corresponding network token, which is used to pay for gas. - -
- -
- -Can I use the off-the-shelf CSS available in the repo? - -The marketplace name, logo, and typeface must be changed by the client. A slight modification would be enough for compliance. For more information consult the READ ME file on [GitHub](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/market#-forking). - -
- -
- -What kind of data can be sold on Ocean Protocol? Is it limited to trading, analysis, etc.? - -Any type of data can be sold via Ocean Protocol. AI data, music data, image, video, trading, tickets. Anything that can live behind a URL. - -
- -
- -What type of data can be sold via the Ocean Market? Can I sell an ebook through Ocean Protocol Market? - -Yes, any type of data can be sold via Ocean Protocol. Ai data, music, image, video, trading, tickets. Anything that is accessible online. -
- -### Pricing - - -
- -In this scheme, can people stake on fixed-price datasets? - -Yes. They allocate their veOCEAN to datasets. Then DF rewards follow the usual DF formula: DCV \* veOCEAN stake. - -
- -
- -In this scheme, can people stake on free datasets? - -Yes. They allocate their veOCEAN to datasets. Then DF rewards follow the usual DF formula: DCV \* veOCEAN stake. Except in this case, although DCV is 0, the gas fees will still count towards calculating rewards. - -
- -
- -Does this work for other pricing schemes? - -Yes, from the get-go! It doesn’t matter how data is priced, this works for all schemes. - -
- -### Technical - -
- -How are datatokens created, and how does the creator make money? - -[Datatokens](../developers/contracts/datatokens.md) represent access rights to a specific dataset on the Ocean Protocol. Creators of datasets tokenize their data, creating these datatokens. Each datatoken is unique to a dataset. - -
- -
- -Where can I find information about the number of datatokens created and track their progress? - -To access this data, some technical expertise is required. You can find this information at the subgraph level. In our documentation, we provide a few examples of how to retrieve this data using JavaScript. Feel free to give it a shot by visiting this [page](../developers/subgraph/list-datatokens). If it doesn't meet your requirements, don't hesitate to reach out to us on Discord. - -
- -
- -How can partners and developers use Ocean technology to build their own data marketplaces? - -Ocean technology is open-source, community-funded, and freely available for use by anyone. Normally, when a developer wishes to use Ocean, they will let the core team know and we make a joint announcement if both parties agree. - -A developer can fork various components from our GitHub repository and create their own.

- -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 on the [Docs](../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.

- -
- -Why does Ocean Protocol use the Blockchain? - -For both providers and consumers of data, blockchain is a superior substrate for building applications. Blockchain allows business logic to be instantiated in a network and triggered by the users, without intermediaries. This innovation promises lower transaction costs, higher security, more control, fewer errors, and more transparency & auditability. - -
- -
- -The blockchain is public - does this mean that anyone can access my data? - -No one is able to access data via the blockchain without purchasing access (with the datatoken) through the smart contract. Ocean smart contracts encrypt the URL to the dataset before it is published on the blockchain. This means that only the encrypted URL will be queryable in the public blockchain. Ocean technology facilitates data access to the consumer via a proxy (Ocean Provider) and the unencrypted URL is never exposed. - -
- -
- -What is a smart contract and why is it relevant? - -The blockchain can do more than just store information - it can also run code. A smart contract is an executable script that runs on the blockchain, with no intermediary, and is fully transparent and auditable by anyone. In Ocean, smart contracts facilitate access to data and AI if the access conditions set out by the publisher are fulfilled. - -
- -
- -What is a datatoken? - -A datatoken is an access token to datasets and services published in the Ocean ecosystem. Datatokens can be purchased via the Ocean Market or on a decentralized crypto exchange. If a consumer wishes to access a dataset, they must acquire the datatoken and then exchange the datatoken for access to the dataset. - -
- -
- -How do I acquire datatokens? - -Datatokens can be acquired and traded in Ocean Market. There are several ways to acquire data tokens. Data publishers can acquire datatokens by publishing datasets and then receiving the generated datatokens. - -Consumers can click "buy" on an asset in Ocean Market to buy and redeem a datatoken in exchange for access to a dataset. - -Datatokens can also be sent from anyone who holds a datatoken for a particular asset. - -

Places to host may include: Github, IPFS, Arweave, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and your own personal home server (if that's you, then you probably don't need a tutorial on hosting assets). Really, anywhere with a downloadable link to your asset is fine.
+If you want to publish cool things on the Ocean Marketplace, then you'll first need a place to host your assets as **Ocean doesn't store data**; you're responsible for hosting it on your chosen service and providing the necessary details for publication. You have SO many options where to host your asset including centralized and decentralized storage systems. Places to host may include: Github, IPFS, Arweave, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and your own personal home server (if that's you, then you probably don't need a tutorial on hosting assets).

 In this section, we'll walk you through three options to store your assets: Arweave (decentralized storage), AWS (centralized storage), and Azure (centralized storage). Let's goooooo!

That moment when you buy your first datatoken

 
+Before we go shopping, it's important to note that the primary responsibility for data validation rests with the customer. To evaluate the quality of the data, take into account the following questions:
+
+1. What is the reputation of the dataset's publisher?
+2. Does the dataset include well-defined metadata and provenance information?
+3. Is sample data available for evaluation?
+4. What is the dataset's rating within the marketplace? (Check the star rating we've implemented.)
+5. Is the publisher responsive to inquiries? You can initiate a direct message to the publisher via the marketplace to engage in discussions before making a data purchase.
+
+Once you're confident that the dataset meets your requirements, you're ready to make your purchase! 🛒📊
