Disconnection
AI & Data haven’t connected very well
28. ● Multiple ledgers are required to be maintained - time-consuming, expensive
● Ledgers between parties are asynchronous, leading to errors and mismatches
● Captures only financial transactions, misses temporal aspects like momentum
and historical records
● Can be gamed and falsified by malicious actors – weapons of mass destruction

42. Let’s use blockchain to connect Data and AI
We can build a new Data
Economy that unlocks data
and value
… and gives power to people
43. Ocean Protocol
✓ Store the merkle roots of data or another structure for database compatibility
✓ Need to achieve and maintain global consistency in the data
✓ Provide an integration for our currently scattered clusters

46. The Main Pieces
Blockchain Protocol Tokens
• Data as an Asset and
Intellectual Property
• Secure locking
mechanisms for
control, security, &
transparency
• Proofs of Space,
Time, Structure,
Query
• Framework for data to
be served and
consumed
• Incentivize keepers to
secure the network
• Token as the internal
currency - data
providers, marketplaces,
curators

How projects raise money
49. • 1.41 Billion Ocean tokens, limited and
capped forever
• Ticker Symbol: OCN
• 15% (211.5M) OCN for exchange
• Hard Cap: TBD
• Public Token Exchange - date TBD
• Token Release: On network launch
Q1/2019
• Token Utility: No dividend, ownership,
voting or profits from the token. OCN is
inseparable from the network, protocol.
