Anyone could buy your data on the Ocean Market and then publicly share it all over the internet. Pretty scary, right? But what if there was a way that buyers could access valuable insights from your data and algorithms without actually *seeing* the data or algorithms themselves? We have a solution for that!

Enter, Compute-to-Data (also lovingly called C2D 🥰). Ocean Protocol's C2D feature enables you to monetize the OUTPUT of compute jobs on your datasets without revealing the contents of the data/algorithms themselves. Let's dive in how!

How to Compute-to-Data 💃

You will need to accomplish 3 main steps in establishing a compute-to-data flow: create an algorithm that's compatible with C2D, publish your C2D-specific algorithm NFT, then publish your data NFT with C2D configurations allowing the algorithm to compute on it. That's it! Then you'll be able to sell compute jobs 🤩 Read the steps in this section's three subpages to create & sell a compute job from start to finish. 💪😃
