Ocean Node handles network communication through libp2p, supports secure data handling with Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC), and enables flexible compute-to-data operations. 
The functions of Ocean node include:
* It is crucial in handling the asset downloads, it streams the purchased data directly to the buyer.
* It conducts the permission an access checks during the consume flow. 
* The Node handles [DDO](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/ddo-specification) (Decentralized Data Object) encryption.
