Ocean Protocol is a decentralized network for data and compute access management that aims to solve two key issues: 1) connecting problem owners with problem solvers and 2) unlocking the benefits of more data while maintaining privacy and control. The Ocean network allows private data to remain behind firewalls while running algorithms and modeling to gain insights. This enables businesses to gain value from their private data without compromising privacy or control. Ocean launched its mainnet in March 2019 and its open source code and thorough documentation allow any organization, like the EWF ecosystem, to use Ocean for energy data access management across offices or collaborators on either private or public networks.

22. Collaborator: You?
Use Case: Energy data access management among your org’s offices, or
between your org & collaborators. “Google drive without the Google”
Substrate: Your own private net, EWF net, or Ocean public net

24. On Ocean Protocol
Is:
• A protocol (standard): specifications of how machines communicate
• And, a community: 8K stakeholders, 250 ambassadors, 30 advisors
• And, a nonprofit foundation to steward the protocol & community
• And, networks that implement the protocol, both public & private
Characteristics of protocol / networks:
• Decentralized – no single point of failure
• Global & open (public network), or local (private networks)
• Reconciles privacy
• Can plug in legals
