ocean-lib 0.8.6

🐳 Ocean protocol library.

ocean.py

Python library to privately & securely publish, exchange, and consume data.

With ocean.py, you can:

• Publish data services: downloadable files or compute-to-data. Ocean creates a new ERC20 datatoken for each dataset / data service.
• Mint datatokens for the service
• Sell datatokens via an OCEAN-datatoken Balancer pool (for auto price discovery), or for a fixed price
• Stake OCEAN on datatoken pools
• Consume datatokens, to access the service
• Transfer datatokens to another owner, and all other ERC20 actions using web3.py etc.

ocean.py is part of the Ocean Protocol toolset.

This is in beta state and you can expect running into problems. If you run into them, please open up a new issue.

🏗 Installation

#Install the ocean.py library. Install wheel first to avoid errors.
pip install wheel
pip install ocean-lib

⚠️ For Mac users, if you encounter an issue with "Unsupported Architecture", see this issue for an explanation and run the installation command with ARCHFLAGS set, like so:

🏄 Quickstart

Here are flows to try out, from simple to specific detailed variants.

• Simple flow - the essence of Ocean - creating a data NFT & datatoken.
• Marketplace flow - a data asset is posted for sale in a datatoken pool, then purchased. Includes metadata.
• Fixed rate exchange flow - a data asset is posted for sale at fixed rate, then purchased.
• Compute-to-data flow - uses C2D to build an AI model a dataset that never leaves the premises.
