+ What psdnOCEAN is and how it differs from OCEAN?
+
+OCEAN is the main currency of the Ocean network, particularly the Ocean Market. psdnOCEAN 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.

+
+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.

+Ocean tokenizes access to data, enabling web3 wallets to hold keys to data, decentralized data exchanges, token-gated APIs, the provenance of data sharing, compute to data, and more.
+The Ocean core team & Ocean community continue to evolve the stack and applications around it, which in turn drives traction.

+
+
+
+
+
+How does the data farming rewards work? Can rewards be claimed monthly or automatically deposited?
+
+Data Farming serves as the fundamental incentive system within Ocean Protocol, offering diverse opportunities for participants to contribute to the protocol's growth and success. This system is divided into two rewarding streams:
+
+1) Passive Rewards
+2) Active Rewards
+By actively participating in our available programs, you can earn both passive and active rewards. Your total rewards will be a combination of these two substreams.
+
+The best part is that you have full control over claiming or redepositing your rewards at your convenience. Unclaimed rewards accumulate over time without any loss.
+
+It's important to note that your veOCEAN balance will gradually decrease once you receive it. This decline occurs linearly over time until it reaches the Lock End Date. For instance, when your lock time has reached the halfway point, you will possess 50% of your initial veOCEAN balance. Once your lock time concludes, your veOCEAN balance will reach zero, allowing you to withdraw your OCEAN tokens.

+Should I focus on passive income or be an active staker? What are the risks involved with active staking?
+
+To optimize your rewards, you can choose to employ both passive and active methods. Passive rewards are automatically earned when you lock your Ocean tokens to acquire veOCEAN. It's crucial to understand that the longer you lock your tokens, the higher your potential rewards can be.
+
+However, it's worth noting that active staking does come with associated costs, such as gas fees, which you will need to cover.
+
+When it comes to active staking, you aren't exposed to additional risks. Your veOCEAN tokens remain securely locked, and your role is to curate datasets by allocating them.
+
+As with any system, inherent risks exist. In terms of the liquidity you provide, rest assured that we have implemented battle-tested contracts, protecting assets worth billions, including veCRV. With this model, there is no liquidity risk, and you are shielded from losing your OCEAN due to Impermanent Loss (IL); your OCEAN tokens are held securely in lock.

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.

+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 would deflate. Information about the Ocean token dynamics can be found here: https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9. Also, 5% of Ocean network revenue is assigned for burning.

+What is the best time to lock OCEAN to avoid high gas fees? Do I need to approve twice?
+
+
+When gas prices are low, which you can check at https://www.useweb3.xyz/gas, the locking process occurs in two phases. Initially, you must approve the amount you wish to lock, and subsequently, you execute the lock transaction. If you've previously approved the desired amount for locking, there's no need to repeat the approval step. You only need to approve once, unless you intend to lock a higher amount than what you've already approved.

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.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+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.

+
+Is Ocean aiming to be a marketplace for data?
+
+Our goal is to build the tools and services to facilitate a new Data Economy that gives data owners control, while preserving privacy and helping to kickstart commercialization of data, including data marketplaces.
+Ocean Protocol was founded to build technology for a Data Economy at the intersection of blockchain, data, and AI. We have pioneered several technologies to push the envelope forward, including the original patent for NFTs, token engineering, data tokens, and others.

+What types of data can be sold on the Ocean market, and what kind of data are customers usually looking for?
+
+Any type of data can be sold via Ocean Protocol. AI data, music data, image, video, trading, ai data, tickets. Anything that can be accessed online.
+
+
+
+
+
+How can we ensure the validity of datasets on the market?
+
+We are not actively developing a dedicated system for dataset validation. Instead, we have built tools and established multiple methods within our verification layer. However, the primary responsibility for data validation lies with the customer. To assess the data's quality, consider these 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? (Refer to the star rating we have implemented.)
+5. Is the publisher responsive to inquiries? Feel free to send a direct message to the publisher via the marketplace to engage in discussions before making a data purchase.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+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).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Does Ocean aspire to cultivate a decentralized ChatGPT through the datasets on the Ocean market?
+
+While Ocean Protocol primarily focuses on data sharing and data-related technologies, it's not directly involved in the development of AI models like ChatGPT. However, it's possible that individuals or organizations could use the Ocean marketplace to share or sell datasets that could be used in training AI models like ChatGPT. Decentralized AI models, like ChatGPT, often rely on a wide range of data sources to improve their performance and versatility.
+
+
+
+
+
+what are the steps needed to encourage people to use the Ocean market, considering the current low consume volume (excluding wash consume)?
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+How do we envision the data-sharing economy evolving in the future, particularly with the rise of AI? How should governments and regulators approach the data-sharing economy?
+
+Policymaking is a complex, highly charged, and fast-moving field. The position of Ocean Protocol is that the creators of the data should have the tools to control how their data will be used and to share in profits if their data is commercialized. Ocean Protocol was founded to build technology for a Data Economy at the intersection of blockchain, data, and AI. We have pioneered several technologies to push the envelope forward, including the original patent for NFTs, token engineering, data tokens, and others.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+How does Ocean Protocol enforce penalties if data is shared without permission?
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+How does Ocean's approach to data value-creation loops differ from other blockchain projects or data marketplaces? What are the benefits and drawbacks of participating in the data-sharing economy?
+
+The Ocean token design is based on learnings from token engineering, a set of tools and models pioneered by the Ocean core team. Many of the learnings from token engineering are used by current crypto projects, as well as the Ocean team.
+
+The Data Economy is nascent and cutting-edge. Many of the tools, components, and integrations are at an early stage or non-existent. Participation now, in an emerging Data Economy, is a bet on the future where data can be commercialized and accessible for data applications and developers.

+
+
+
+ Will Acentrik continue to run data transactions on the Ocean Protocol backend? Is Acentrik built on top of Ocean at the protocol level?
+
+3rd party markets such as Gaia-X, BDP and Acentrik use Ocean components to power their marketplace. They will likely 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 plan set out (https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Which areas of data does Ocean Protocol specifically help with in relation to AI?
+
+Ocean Protocol offers a decentralized data marketplace where you can access a wide range of data, including text datasets, for your AI projects. Whether you're working on natural language processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, or text generation, Ocean Protocol can assist you in finding the data you need to enhance your AI models.
+
+Also, you can train models on the data that is available and extract insights.
+
+
+
+
+
+How do we distinguish between wash trading and real volume, especially considering that the blockchain lacks sybil resistance? Wouldn't individuals always be able to create new addresses and purchase the datasets they bonded to?
+
+ There is no economic value or advantage in wash-consuming data assets. The transaction fees expended for this maneuver would exceed the amount of potential rewards to be gained .

+You can view the transactions for the burned tokens at this link: 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 would deflate. Information about the Ocean token dynamics can be found here: https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9. 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 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.

+Why both my passive and active rewards appear to be the same and why I can't see the APY for active rewards.
+
+Passive rewards are distributed relative to your % ownership of veOCEAN.
+
+Active rewards are distributed relative to your ability to curate assets that are driving revenue. If you are able to curate quality assets better than others, you are able to receive a larger % reward.
+Therfore, even though the total reward budgets are the same, the way you can earn rewards are not.
+
+APY for active rewards is ~0% at the moment as most assets are not driving sales.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+As a passive APY, what should I expect to receive? I locked 8057 Ocean three epochs ago and received 3.30 OCEAN so far.
+
+That's a valid point, and we greatly value your feedback. We are continuously enhancing the Data Farming UI based on input like yours.
+
+Here's how the frontend logic works: We round your APY to two decimal places. So, if you've locked 8,000 OCEAN for a short period, it's possible to see a near-0% APY.
+
+To boost your APY, consider locking your OCEAN for a more extended period. It's not only about the amount you lock but also the duration of the lock that matters most. Longer lock periods yield more significant results. You can find further insights in this document: https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/user-guides/data-farming/how-to-estimate-apy.

+Do you offer staking of $OCEAN? Is there a tutorial available for staking, and can I learn about the APY and locking time for unstaking?

+Absolutely, we've adopted a staking approach similar to veCRV, allowing you to lock your Ocean tokens for veOCEAN to enjoy both passive and active rewards. Here are some handy resources to help you get started:

+
+
+
+
+Is there a way to transform VeOcean to Ocean gradually over the lock period? Also, how will VeOcean be distributed over a certain time frame, and will Ocean tokens be reduced at the end of the lock period?
+
+
+No, you can't convert your VeOcean to Ocean during the lock period. However, you have the opportunity to earn rewards (in $OCEAN) through active or passive staking. When the lock period concludes, you gain access to all your locked Ocean tokens. You can find additional information about OCEAN emissions here: https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/veocean-data-farming/emissions-apys.

Data Farming serves as the fundamental incentive system within Ocean Protocol, offering diverse opportunities for participants to contribute to the protocol's growth and success. This system is divided into two rewarding streams:
-1) Passive Rewards
-2) Active Rewards
+1. Passive Rewards
+2. Active Rewards
By actively participating in our available programs, you can earn both passive and active rewards. Your total rewards will be a combination of these two substreams.
The best part is that you have full control over claiming or redepositing your rewards at your convenience. Unclaimed rewards accumulate over time without any loss.
It's important to note that your veOCEAN balance will gradually decrease once you receive it. This decline occurs linearly over time until it reaches the Lock End Date. For instance, when your lock time has reached the halfway point, you will possess 50% of your initial veOCEAN balance. Once your lock time concludes, your veOCEAN balance will reach zero, allowing you to withdraw your OCEAN tokens.

+What psdnOCEAN is and how it differs from OCEAN?
+
+OCEAN is the main currency of the Ocean network, particularly the Ocean Market. psdnOCEAN 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.

+### 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 designed for file sharing between a small group of users.
+
+You can find some alternatives [here](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/storage).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Do you have a tutorial for using Arweave as storing solution for assets?
+
+You bet we have. [Here](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/user-guides/asset-hosting/arweave) it is 😎
+
+
+
+
+### Tokenomics
+
+
+
+Is OCEAN the only currency used for exchanging data?
+
+Ocean Market currently supports only $OCEAN for the exchange of services. Markets such as BDP and Acentrik use another currency for the exchange of services.
+
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+Is Ocean deployed on the BSC network? What is the contract address?
+
+Yes, it's [0xDCe07662CA8EbC241316a15B611c89711414Dd1a](https://bscscan.com/token/0xdce07662ca8ebc241316a15b611c89711414dd1a).
+
+
+What psdnOCEAN is and how it differs from OCEAN?
+
+OCEAN is the main currency of the Ocean network, particularly the Ocean Market. psdnOCEAN 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.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+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 would deflate. Information about the Ocean token dynamics can be found [here](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-token-model-3e4e7af210f9). Also, 5% of Ocean network revenue is assigned for burning.
+
+
+
+
+
+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.

-
-
-
-
-
-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](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.

-
-
-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.

+
+
+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.

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.

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.

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.
