| Ways to Contribute | There are many ways you could contribute to Ocean Protocol. |
All contributions to Ocean Protocol are governed by our Contributor Code of Conduct. Code development follows the Ocean Engineering Principles.
Help Develop Core Ocean Software
- Read and understand the legal requirements when contributing code.
- Look through the dev-ocean repository on GitHub. It summarizes Ocean Protocol software development practices and policies.
- Ask technical questions in the Ocean Protocol chatroom on Gitter.
- Find repository-specific development notes in each repository (usually in the root
README.mdfile).
Report a Vulnerability
See the page about reporting vulnerabilities.
Report a Bug or Make a Feature Request
To report a bug that isn't a vulnerability, or to make a feature request, go to the relevant GitHub repository, click on the Issues tab, click on the New issue button, and read the instructions.
Suggest a Change to the Protocol Itself
To suggest a change to the Ocean Protocol itself (which is actually a set of protocols), go to the Ocean Protocol Enhancement Proposals (OEPs) repository and write a proposal, either as an issue or as a pull request.
Write!
You could write articles or blog posts related to Ocean Protocol. Possible topics include:
- a story about how you used Ocean Protocol or an Ocean network

Develop a Service Integration Driver or Plugin
- Aquarius currently supports storing metadata in MongoDB, Elasticsearch or BigchainDB. Each option is supported by its own "OceanDB driver." You could write a new OceanDB driver to support another database. See the existing OceanDB repositories for examples.
- Brizo currently supports storing data sets in Azure Storage, Amazon S3 or on-premise. Each option is supported by its own "Osmosis driver." You could write a new Osmosis driver to support another storage provider. See the existing Osmosis repositories for examples.
- OEP-11 lists the supported encryption and decryption options (for encrypting URLs before putting them in the metadata, not data sets themselves). You could add support for another option.
- Other kinds of services could also be integrated. If you need help or advice, then email info@oceanprotocol.com.
