ocean-lib 3.1.2

🐳 Ocean protocol library.

ocean.py: a Python library to privately & securely publish, exchange, and consume data.

Ocean.py helps data scientists earn $ from their AI models, track provenance of data & compute, and get more data. (More details here.)

Ocean.py makes these tasks easy:

• Publish data services: data feeds, REST APIs, downloadable files or compute-to-data. Create an ERC721 data NFT for each service, and ERC20 datatoken for access (1.0 datatokens to access).
• Sell datatokens via for a fixed price. Sell data NFTs.
• Transfer data NFTs & datatokens to another owner, and all other ERC721 & ERC20 actions using web3.py.

ocean.py is part of the Ocean Protocol toolset.

This is in beta state. If you run into problems, please open up a new issue.

🏄 Quickstart

Follow these steps in sequence to ramp into Ocean.

1. Install Ocean
2. Setup:
   • Remote (Win, MacOS, Linux)
   • or Local (Linux only)
3. Walk through main flow: publish asset, post for free / for sale, dispense it / buy it, and consume it

Tools

• Define gas strategy - auto-determine gas fee for remote networks
• Search & filter data - find assets by tag
• Custody-light flow - consume a free & a priced asset without custody

Use-case flows

• Challenge DF - prize $$ to predict future ETH price
• Data Farming - curate data assets, earn rewards

On-chain key-value store via data NFTs

• Sharing public data on-chain - e.g. public AI models
• Sharing private data on-chain - e.g. private AI models

More types of data assets

Each of the following shows how to publish & consume a particular type of data.

• C2D - tokenize & monetize AI algorithms via Compute-to-Data
• REST API - Example on Binance ETH price feed
• GraphQL - Example on Ocean Data NFTs
• On-chain data - Example on Ocean swap fees
• Adding credentials - Example on publishing an asset with custom credentials

Learn more

• Understand config parameters - envvars vs files
• Learn about off-chain services - Ocean Provider for data services, Aquarius metadata store

🦑 Development

• Developers flow - to further develop ocean.py
• Release process - to do a new release of ocean.py
