A tokenized data and compute protocol that makes access, privacy, and monetization more programmable.
Most useful as the infrastructure layer for data access and privacy-preserving AI.

How the token works
Ocean’s official docs put OCEAN supply at approximately 270 million, with buybacks and burns expected to reduce it over time.
Ocean’s docs list major exchange routes for OCEAN and explain the network, token, and compute-to-data flows.
Why it matters in Africa
Useful for AI teams that need governed access to data, not just compute.
What to watch
- Data marketplace utility
- buy/burn mechanics
- which parts of the stack remain active after the ASI split
How to participate
- Use the official token docs for supply and use-case context.
- Check the network docs before bridging or moving assets.
- Acquire OCEAN through the exchanges named in Ocean’s docs.
