# 🌊 Discover Ocean

Ocean's mission is to level the playing field for AI and data.

How? **By helping _you_ monetize AI models and data, while preserving privacy.**

Ocean is a decentralized data exchange protocol. Its core tech is:
- Data NFTs & datatokens, to enable token-gated access control, data wallets, data DAOs, and more.
- Compute-to-data: buy & sell private data, while preserving privacy
