Ocean Protocol is now integrated with Filecoin. Our service partner ProtoFire.io has completed a successful integration of Filecoin's decentralized cloud storage with Ocean tech
This new development allows users to fine-tune their preferences in terms of data availability and size, storage costs, and more
“Decentralized storage is fundamental to giving people control over their data and assets. We're are happy to celebrate the growing ecosystem of tools available for developers to build Web3 DApps with Ocean Protocol" Bruce Pon, Ocean Protocol
“The Filecoin dev grants program allows teams like Protofire to build valuable Web3 integrations. We’re thrilled they’ve undertaken this integration to enable users to seamlessly store their data on a decentralized network.” Jonathan Victor, Filecoin
“We believe in the power of data, decentralized data markets, & open-source tech. Filecoin was an obvious solution to better suit users’ needs in dataset size, redundancy, speed of retrieval, & cost" Manuel Garcia ProtoFire

Announcing the Ocean Protocol Token Swap

- For the over 8,000 holders of Ocean tokens, no action is required. The token swap will be handled automatically on your behalf.

Ocean Protocol contributed to World Economic Forum's latest paper "A New Paradigm for Business of Data." Ocean is highlighted as an innovation that's changing the way people and businesses see and interact with data.

"Data owners have agency over their data and its pricing, while data buyers can build AI models that train on data that never leaves the platform - allowing the data seller to retain privacy and control."

Also mentioned as solutions that help companies make better data decisions are Aera Technology and Kabbage Inc.
