Ocean Protocol Launches Data NFTs for Scientific IP Management
Ocean Protocol Launches Data NFTs for Scientific IP Management
🧬 Your Genes, Your Rules
Ocean Protocol introduces Data NFTs, enabling researchers to tokenize and manage scientific intellectual property on-chain.
Key features:
- Mint sequences, models & datasets as verifiable assets
- License genes for research with datatokens
- Offer API access to models
- Split royalties via smart contracts
- Track versions & access logs
The system provides automated IP management through smart contracts, replacing traditional legal processes. All assets are timestamped, auditable, and wallet-linked for seamless compliance and publication tracking.

Ocean Protocol's Compute-to-Data: Privacy-First AI Infrastructure
Ocean Protocol introduces a paradigm shift in AI data handling by sending algorithms to data instead of moving sensitive data around. The system uses Compute-to-Data (C2D) technology to maintain privacy while enabling AI training on regulated datasets. Key features: - Algorithms travel to where data resides - Smart contracts handle job orchestration - On-chain access controls enforce permissions - Immutable audit trail tracks all operations This architecture enables: - Privacy-preserving AI training - Regulatory compliance - Secure data monetization - Decentralized compute infrastructure
Ocean Protocol Enables Verifiable Data Provenance for AI Compliance
As AI regulation tightens globally, Ocean Protocol introduces essential tools for data provenance and compliance: - **Data NFTs** for unique dataset identification and tokenization - **Datatokens** for controlled on-chain access - **Immutable logging** of all compute jobs and data interactions - **Version tracking** for both datasets and models The system creates transparent, auditable AI pipelines that help teams meet regulatory requirements like the EU AI Act. Ocean's stack transforms black-box AI into traceable, compliant systems. Learn more at [Ocean Protocol Developer Docs](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers)
The Evolution of Computing: From CPUs to Distributed Systems
Traditional computing infrastructure faces new challenges in the AI era.
