<summary>How is Ocean Protocol related to AI?</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) models require vast amounts of training data.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, _every stage_ in the AI modeling life cycle is about data: raw training data -> cleaned data -> feature vectors -> trained models -> model predictions.
|
||||
|
||||
Ocean's all about managing data: getting it, sharing it, selling it, and making $ from it -- all with Web3 benefits like decentralized control, data provenance, privacy, sovereign control, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, Ocean helps manage data all along the AI model life cycle:
|
||||
- Ocean helps with raw training data
|
||||
- Ocean helps with cleaned data & feature vectors
|
||||
- Ocean helps with trained models as data
|
||||
- Ocean helps with model predictions as data
|
||||
|
||||
A great example is [Ocean Predictoor](../predictoor/), where user make $ from their model predictions in a decentralized, private fashion.
|
||||
|
||||
AI models require data, and Ocean offers a suite of tools to facilitate the supply, management, and monetization of that data. Through tokenization, Ocean empowers web3 wallets to securely access data, facilitates decentralized data exchanges, unlocks token-gated APIs, ensures data sharing provenance, enables compute-to-data processes, and much more.

There are a wide host of technical, business, and cultural barriers to overcome before volume sales can scale. Blockchain and crypto technology are 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.
|
||||
To be fully decentralized means no single point of control, at any level of the stack.
|
||||
|
||||
- OCEAN 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.
|

- Predictoor is fully decentralized.
|

- Data Farming has some centralized components; we aim to decentralize those in the next 12-24 months.

### About OCEAN
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary>How is OCEAN used? How does it capture value?</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
OCEAN has mechanics to increase demand and reduce supply.
|
||||
|
||||
OCEAN is used to stake on data for curation, to buy & sell data, and more. The [OCEAN page](https://www.oceanprotocol.com/token) has details. Usage drives demand.
|
||||
|
||||
OCEAN can be locked into veOCEAN; veOCEAN holders receive Data Farming rewards. The rewards increase demand for OCEAN; and locking veOCEAN reduces near-term supply of OCEAN.
|
||||
|
||||
For each consume transaction, a small fee goes to the Ocean community, which in turn goes to buy back OCEAN and burn it (buy-and-burn). This reduces supply permanently.

<summary>What is the total supply of OCEAN?</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
Determining whether someone has downloaded your data and is reselling it is quite challenging. While they are bound by a contract not to do so, it's practically impossible to monitor their actions. If you want to maintain the privacy of your dataset, you can explore the option of using compute-to-data(C2D). Via C2D your data remains private and people can only run algorithms(that you approve of) to extract intelligence.
|
||||
|
||||
This issue is similar to what any digital distribution platform faces. For instance, can Netflix prevent individuals from downloading and redistributing their content? Not entirely. They invest significant resources in security, but ultimately, complete prevention is extremely difficult. They mainly focus on making it more challenging for such activities to occur.

<summary>What is a decentralized data marketplace?</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
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.

Ocean Market is a showcase for the practical application of Ocean, showing others what a decentralized data marketplace look like.

However, it's important to note that participants using the Ocean stack are subject to transaction fees, which vary depending on the chosen token. These fees serve the dual purpose of furthering the development of Ocean technology and facilitating the buy-and-burning of OCEAN.

Fees are generated Ocean Market from Ocean Market that head to Ocean community. The earlier Q&A on revenue has details.
