3. **Decentralized Data Marketplaces**: Ocean Protocol facilitates the creation of decentralized data marketplaces where data providers can list their data assets and data consumers can discover and access them. These marketplaces operate on a peer-to-peer basis, eliminating the need for intermediaries and providing more efficient and transparent data transactions.
4. **AI Development**: Ocean Protocol supports the development of AI models by providing access to diverse and high-quality datasets. Data scientists and AI developers can leverage these datasets to train and improve their models, leading to more accurate and robust AI systems.
+5. **Access control:** Ocean Protocol incorporates token-gating mechanisms that grant or restrict access to specific data assets based on predefined criteria, ensuring controlled and regulated data sharing within the ecosystem.
By leveraging **blockchain technology** and **smart contracts**, Ocean Protocol offers **open-source tools** to securely publish [NFTs](../developers/contracts/data-nfts.md) of your data and algorithms to seamlessly collaborate, trade, and innovate with others.
