What builders can do
Build Your Token-gated AI dApp
Monetize by making your dApp token-gated. Users no longer have to use credit cards or manage OAuth credentials. Rather, they buy & spend ERC20 datatokens to access your dApp content.
Go further yet: rather than storing user profile data on your centralized server -- which exposes you to liability -- have it on-chain encrypted by the user's wallet, and just-in-time decrypt for the app.
Build Your Token-gated REST API
Focus on the backend: make a Web3-native REST API. Like the token-gated dApps, consumers of the REST API buy access with crypto, not credit cards.
Build Your Data Market
You have two options:
- **Fork Ocean Market** and customize it: Start with the existing Ocean Marketplace codebase and customize it. This allows you to leverage the foundational infrastructure and functionality already built by Ocean Protocol while tailoring the user interface, features, and branding to align with your marketplace vision. Follow this tutorial to learn how to do it.
- Build from Ocean components: In this fashion, you'll be creating a custom data market experience while leveraging the Ocean stack.
