## About marketplace

Ocean Protocol's [marketplace](https://market.oceanprotocol.com/) provides a web interface for accessing assets published on the chain. By default, the metadata of the assets are pulled from Aquarius hosted by Ocean Protocol. To extend the existing features of the marketplace, developers can fork the marketplace.
