what's ocean protocol?
Ocean Protocol is a decentralized data exchange protocol that enables secure sharing and monetization of data and AI models while preserving privacy through blockchain technology. It empowers users to tokenize assets, access Compute-to-Data for confidential analysis, and participate in data marketplaces without losing control. The platform fosters a collaborative ecosystem for developers, enterprises, and researchers to drive innovation in AI and Web3.
