## Basics
|
||||
|
||||
**Ocean Tokens** are the [cryptocurrency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency) associated with Ocean Protocol. They are standards-compliant [ERC-20 tokens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERC-20).

There are Ocean Tokens in several testnets, including the Kovan testnet and Nile testnet. They are just testnet Ocean Tokens (i.e. for testing purposes only) and they aren't interchangeable with Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens. For more details, see the the [page about Testnets](/concepts/testnets/) and the [tutorials](/tutorials/introduction/).

## Ocean Tokens in the Ethereum Mainnet and the Ocean Production Network
|
||||
### Testnet Ocean Token Utility
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTICE: Below we outline plans at the time of writing. Those plans might change. We will update this page on a regular basis.**
|
||||
Once you have some Testnet Ocean Tokens, you can use them for all currently-implemented Ocean Protocol tasks _in that testnet_ (e.g. buying assets).
|
||||
|
||||
The initial circulating supply of Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens became available on the Ethereum Mainnet (_not_ the [Ocean Production Network](/concepts/production-network/)) in May 2019.
|
||||
### Get Testnet Ocean Tokens
|
||||
|
||||
All Squid libraries have methods to request Ocean Tokens. They work by calling the "Dispenser" keeper contract, a contract which is only deployed to testnets. Therefore they will only work in testnets. They're documented in the following places:
|
||||
|
||||
- The squid-js docs for:
|
||||
- [OceanAccounts.requestTokens()](/references/squid-js/#OceanAccounts-requestTokens)
|
||||
- [Account.requestTokens()](/references/squid-js/#Account-requestTokens)
|
||||
- The squid-py docs for:
|
||||
- [the `squid_py.ocean.ocean_tokens` module](https://squid-py.readthedocs.io/en/develop/api/squid_py.ocean.ocean_tokens.html): see the `request()` method.
|
||||
- [the `squid_py.ocean.ocean_accounts` module](https://squid-py.readthedocs.io/en/develop/api/squid_py.ocean.ocean_accounts.html): see the `request_tokens()` method.
|
||||
- [The squid-java docs](https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.oceanprotocol/squid/): click "All Classes" then "AccountsManager" then scroll to the bottom of the Class AccountsManager page where you'll find the `requestTokens()` method.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Example Code page](/tutorials/example-code/) has links to example Squid code (in all of the languages), including examples of using the above methods.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens
|
||||
|
||||
There were several ways to acquire some of the Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens in the initial circulating supply, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- participation in the seed round
|
||||
- participation in the pre-sale
|
||||
- participation in the token sale
|
||||
- participation in the initial exchange offering
|
||||
- completion of a [bounty](/concepts/bounties/)
|
||||
|
||||
After [the initial exchange offering on Bittrex International](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/initial-exchange-offering-of-ocean-protocol-on-bittrex-international-a454688f466a), Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens became available in the Ethereum Mainnet (_not_ the Ocean Production Network; there was no Ocean Production Network at the time).
|
||||
The initial circulating supply of Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens became available on the Ethereum Mainnet in May 2019.
|
||||
If you acquired Ocean Tokens in the initial circulating supply, they should have been, or will be, sent to the address you provided, in the Ethereum Mainnet.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, the [Ocean Production Network](/concepts/production-network/) will be launched and later it will become possible to move Ocean Tokens from the Ethereum Mainnet to the Ocean Production Network.
|
||||
### Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Token Utility
|
||||
|
||||
At the time of writing, Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens could not be used for Ocean Protocol tasks (such as purchasing a data set) in the Ethereum Mainnet.
|
||||
At the time of writing, you could use Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens to do various things in the Ethereum Mainnet, including but not limited to:
|
||||
|
||||
- buy other cryptocurrencies. See the next subsection for more details.
|
||||
- stake in [dxDAO](https://dxdao.daostack.io/).
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, in the near future, there are plans to make it possible to use Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens for Ocean Protocol tasks in the Ethereum Mainnet. That includes asset and service acquisition, via Ocean Protocol marketplaces attached to the Ethereum Mainnet.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Buy or Sell Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens
|
||||
|
||||
You can buy or sell Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens via any exchange that lists them. See the official list of exchanges below.
|
||||
|
||||
You could also make a deal with someone where you send them something and they send you some Ocean Tokens in return (or vice versa). Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens are standard ERC-20 tokens, so any software that can send ERC-20 tokens can be used (e.g. [wallet software](/concepts/wallets/) such as MetaMask).
|
||||
|
||||
### Official List of Exchanges
|
||||
|
||||
Below is the _official list_ of exchanges which listed Ethereum Mainnet Ocean Tokens (OCEAN), at the time of writing:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Bittrex International](https://international.bittrex.com/)
|
||||
- [KuCoin](https://www.kucoin.com/)
|
||||
- [DutchX](https://dutchx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
|
||||
|
||||
## Ocean Protuction Network Ocean Tokens
|
||||
|
||||
At the time of writing, the [Ocean Production Network](/concepts/production-network/) wasn't deployed yet, so there were no Ocean Protuction Network Ocean Tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
At some point after the Ocean Production Network is launched, it will become possible to move Ocean Tokens from the Ethereum Mainnet to the Ocean Production Network. The details of exactly how that will work are still to be determined.

|
||||
|
||||
As of 7 May 2019, there was one exchange in the official list of exchanges listing Mainnet Ocean Tokens (in the Ethereum Mainnet): **Bittrex International**.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, the Ocean Mainnet will be launched and later it will become possible to move Ocean Tokens from the Ethereum Mainnet to the Ocean Mainnet.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, it will become possible to earn Mainnet Ocean Tokens as network rewards and in other ways. The [Ocean Protocol Technical Whitepaper](https://oceanprotocol.com/tech-whitepaper.pdf) gives more details.
