Services
Services define the access for an asset, and each service is represented by its respective datatoken.
An asset should have at least one service to be actually accessible and can have as many services which make sense for a specific use case.

compute ** | Compute | If service is of type compute , holds information about the compute-related privacy settings & resources. |
consumerParameters | Consumer Parameters | An object the defines required consumer input before consuming the asset |
additionalInformation | Object | Stores additional information, this is customizable by publisher |
* Required
** Required for compute assets only
Files
The files
field is returned as a string
which holds the encrypted file URLs.
Files Example
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
{
"files": "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"
}
{% endcode %}
Credentials
By default, a consumer can access a resource if they have 1 datatoken. Credentials allow the publisher to optionally specify more fine-grained permissions.
Consider a medical data use case, where only a credentialed EU researcher can legally access a given dataset. Ocean supports this as follows: a consumer can only access the resource if they have 1 datatoken and one of the specified "allow"
credentials.
This is like going to an R-rated movie, where you can only get in if you show both your movie ticket (datatoken) and some identification showing you're old enough (credential).
Only credentials that can be proven are supported. This includes Ethereum public addresses and in the future W3C Verifiable Credentials and more.
Ocean also supports deny
credentials: if a consumer has any of these credentials, they can not access the resource.
Here's an example object with both allow
and deny
entries:
Credentials Example
{
"credentials": {
"allow": [
{
"type": "address",
"values": ["0x123", "0x456"]
}
],
"deny": [
{
"type": "address",
"values": ["0x2222", "0x333"]
}
]
}
}
DDO Checksum
In order to ensure the integrity of the DDO, a checksum is computed for each DDO:
const checksum = sha256(JSON.stringify(ddo));
The checksum hash is used when publishing/updating metadata using the setMetaData
function in the ERC721 contract, and is stored in the event generated by the ERC721 contract.
MetadataCreated and MetadataUpdated smart contract events
event MetadataCreated(
address indexed createdBy,
uint8 state,
string decryptorUrl,
bytes flags,
bytes data,
bytes metaDataHash,
uint256 timestamp,
uint256 blockNumber
);
event MetadataUpdated(
address indexed updatedBy,
uint8 state,
string decryptorUrl,
bytes flags,
bytes data,
bytes metaDataHash,
uint256 timestamp,
uint256 blockNumber
);
Aquarius should always verify the checksum after data is decrypted via a Provider API call.
State
Each asset has a state, which is held by the NFT contract. The possible states are:
State | Description | Discoverable in Ocean Market | Ordering allowed | Listed under profile |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | Active | Yes | Yes | Yes |
1 | End-of-life | No | No | No |
2 | Deprecated (by another asset) | No | No | No |
3 | Revoked by publisher | No | No | No |
4 | Ordering is temporary disabled | Yes | No | Yes |
5 | Asset unlisted. | No | Yes | Yes |
Aquarius Enhanced DDO Response
The following fields are added by Aquarius in its DDO response for convenience reasons, where an asset returned by Aquarius inherits the DDO fields stored on-chain.
These additional fields are never stored on-chain and are never taken into consideration when hashing the DDO.
NFT
The nft
object contains information about the ERC721 NFT contract which represents the intellectual property of the publisher.
Attribute | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
address | string | Contract address of the deployed ERC721 NFT contract. |
name | string | Name of NFT set in contract. |
symbol | string | Symbol of NFT set in contract. |
owner | string | ETH account address of the NFT owner. |
state | number | State of the asset reflecting the NFT contract value. See State |
created | ISO date/time string | Contains the date of NFT creation. |
tokenURI | string | tokenURI |

"nft": {
"address": "0x000000",
"name": "Ocean Protocol Asset v4",
"symbol": "OCEAN-A-v4",
"owner": "0x0000000",
"state": 0,
"created": "2000-10-31T01:30:00Z"
}
}
Datatokens
The datatokens
array contains information about the ERC20 datatokens attached to asset services.
Attribute | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
address | string | Contract address of the deployed ERC20 contract. |
name | string | Name of NFT set in contract. |
symbol | string | Symbol of NFT set in contract. |
serviceId | string | ID of the service the datatoken is attached to. |

},
{
"address": "0x000001",
"name": "Datatoken 2",
"symbol": "DT-2",

Compute to data
For algorithms and datasets that are used for compute to data, there are additional fields and objects within the DDO structure that you need to consider. These include:
compute
attributespublisherTrustedAlgorithms
consumerParameters
Details for each of these are explained on the Compute Options page.
DDO Schema - Detailed
The below diagram shows the detailed DDO schema depicting the content of each data structure and the relations between them.
