PARTNERSHIP

Ocean Protocol and Energy Web will collaborate to unlock IoT energy data, boosting distributed energy resource (DER) optimization and enabling private data monetization.

The bridge b/t Ocean & Energy Web will enable customers, vendors, & grid operators to send power telemetry data from DERs to Ocean. Ocean’s algorithms will run analytics to uncover patterns that can inform better renewable energy grid integration and IoT device optimization.

“We aim to set a benchmark on how energy domains can securely share & monetize their private data. We’re leveraging Ocean v3 Datatokens to tokenize data from EW devices, creating an opportunity for these tokens to be used as instruments in DeFi projects” Razvan Olteanu, Ocean COO

“A bridge from DERs enabled with EW-DOS to Ocean’s marketplaces can help the energy sector ‘crack the code’ while retaining data privacy when and where it is needed” Micha Roon, Energy Web CTO

PARTNERSHIP

Ocean is working with Balancer Labs to create the first AMM based data market and the world’s first Initial Data Offering (IDO) launchpad, continuing our mission to unlock data for the advancement of AI & Web3.

“Data is a 377B EUR market in Europe alone. But how to price it has been a long-standing challenge. Ocean Market solves this using AMM pools powered by Balancer. It’s been a pleasure to work w/ the Balancer team to enable a world-leading data marketplace," Trent McConaghy Ocean Protocol Founder

"At Balancer, we continuously explore new ways to apply AMMs. Ocean Protocol’s usage of Balancer AMMs promises to add a massive new asset class -- data -- to the DeFi’s assets under management,” Fernando Martinelli, CEO & Founder of Balancer Labs
