Ocean Protocol has officially released its VS Code Extension on the Visual Studio Code marketplace, making decentralized compute accessible directly from developers' coding environment.​

Key features include:

  • Run compute jobs and train AI models without leaving your IDE
  • Direct access to Ocean Nodes for decentralized computing
  • Built-in real-time monitoring for distributed AI workflows
  • Privacy-preserving Compute-to-Data job deployment

The extension eliminates the need for separate dashboards, integrating compute and data access directly into developers' workflows.​ This streamlines the process of building federated learning systems and distributed AI applications.​

Developers can now tap into Ocean's decentralized infrastructure without switching between multiple tools or interfaces.​ The extension supports safe deployment of privacy-preserving AI models while maintaining the familiar VS Code development experience.​
