Ocean Protocol is a decentralized data exchange protocol designed to unlock the value of data while preserving privacy and control for data owners. It enables developers, data scientists, and enterprises to share, monetize, and consume data and AI models securely through blockchain-based Data NFTs and Datatokens. The platform supports a modular, lightweight architecture that works with both GPU and CPU resources, facilitating efficient AI model development, training, and monetization. Ocean Protocol's core innovation lies in shifting computation to the data source rather than moving data, enabling privacy-preserving AI and machine learning workflows.

Key features include Data NFTs that protect intellectual property with enhanced ERC721 tokens combined with ERC725y standards for flexible access control, storage encryption, and self-custody. Datatokens (ERC20 tokens) enable granular permissioning, pricing, whitelisting, and expiration controls for data access. The Compute-to-Data paradigm allows users to run algorithms on data remotely without exposing raw data, supporting encryption, royalty distribution, and algorithm allowlists. This approach opens new revenue streams for data providers and AI developers while maintaining data privacy.

Ocean Protocol targets infrastructure developers building decentralized data marketplaces, data scientists seeking monetization and provenance tracking, and enterprises requiring secure data sharing. The ecosystem includes open-source SDKs (ocean.py and ocean.js), APIs, developer guides, and infrastructure components to deploy custom nodes. Adoption includes thousands of users and integrations with AI prediction bots, data farming reward programs, and data challenges. Developers can get started by exploring the comprehensive documentation, developer hub, and community channels to build or integrate with Ocean's decentralized data economy.
