How? **By helping you monetize AI models, compute and data, while preserving privacy.** Ocean is a decentralized data & compute protocol built to scale AI. Its core tech is: * Data NFTs & datatokens, to enable token-gated access control, data wallets, data DAOs, and more. * Compute-to-data: buy & sell private data, while preserving privacy * Ocean Nodes: Monetizing globalized idle compute & turning it into a decentralized network, turning unused computing resources into a secure, scalable, and privacy-preserving infrastructure for AI training, inference, and data processing. ### Ocean Users Are... * [**Developers**](/developers.md)**.** Build token-gated AI dApps, or run an Ocean Node. * [**Data scientists**](/data-scientists.md)**.** Earn via predictions, annotations & challenges * [**Ocean ambassadors**](https://oceanprotocol.com/explore/community) * [**Ocean Node Runners**](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/ocean-node)**.** Monetize your idle computing hardware ### Quick Links * [Why Ocean?](/discover/why-ocean.md) and [What is Ocean?](/discover/what-is-ocean.md) * [What can you do with Ocean?](/discover/benefits.md) * [OCEAN: The Ocean token](/discover/ocean-token.md) * [Networks](/discover/networks.md), [Bridges](/discover/bridges.md) * [FAQ](/discover/faq.md), [Glossary](/discover/glossary.md) *** *Next:* [*Why Ocean?*](/discover/why-ocean.md) *Back:* [*Docs main*](/readme.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/discover.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
