This paper presents Ocean Protocol. Ocean is a decentralized protocol and network of artificial intelligence (AI) data/services. It aims to spread the benefits of AI, by unlocking data while preserving privacy. It helps power marketplaces to buy/sell AI data & services, software to publish and access commons data, and AI/data science tools to consume data. Ocean does decentralized orchestration: at its core are decentralized service agreements and decentralized access control,which execute on decentralized virtual machines. This allows connection to, monetization of, and curation of arbitrary data services. On that, Ocean adds network rewards to incentivize data sharing,including privacy-preserving data commons
