Ocean Market Data Launch Partners
Celebrating early-adopter suppliers of data from health, IoT, AI, and more
Ocean Market is now live, offering new opportunities for data owners to monetize their data while preserving privacy and control.
Whether personal data such as browser history data or latent business data that companies have accumulated over time, Ocean Market helps unlock and monetize it in a secure fashion.
As with many emerging technologies, early-adopter data suppliers in Ocean Market stand to benefit.
First, assets registered early will attract more buyers and stakers since the Ocean Market still has a relatively small amount of inventory.
Being part of the first batch of data suppliers on Ocean Market increases the chances that the suppliers’ data assets will be discovered for consumption and/or staking. This in turn will improve the overall asset ranking (by stake) and could lead to an increase in the overall value of the dataset now and over time.
Second, early stage data providers will be among the first to gain insights and track data consumption and value patterns.
Early stage data providers will start earlier on the path in gaining a deep understanding of this new breed of data monetization. Some early stage data providers may even decide to apply this knowledge to setting up their own Ocean-powered data marketplace.
Getting in on the Ocean Floor
Being an early stage Data Launch Partner means being one of the initial providers of datasets on Ocean Market.
Early stage data providers are comfortable making their data available — and making money by selling it. They can make it available either via direct downloads or using Ocean Compute-to-Data to preserve privacy and control. They understand that making their datasets available helps unlock latent value (profit potential) of their data.
Being a Data Launch Partner does not necessarily require a deep technical mastery of blockchain or artificial intelligence. Rather, early stage data launch partners recognize the opportunity created by Ocean Market to unlock more value from their latent data.
Announcing our pioneer Data Launch Partners
We are proud to announce some of the first Ocean Market Data Launch Partners representing innovative data-driven projects in IoT, healthcare and artificial intelligence. These pioneer data partners will or have already registered a variety of valuable datasets on Ocean Market that can be bought / consumed or staked on by the community.
Human Protocol
The HUMAN Protocol creates a blockchain based, two sided marketplace. On one side, it enables requests to label large volumes of data. On the other, it allows for the workers who complete this work to be evaluated and remunerated.
Swash
Swash, one of the world’s first digital Data Unions, is venturing into new waters by integrating with Ocean. Swash enables crowdsourced, zero-party data monetization where individuals are rewarded for the value of their data as they surf the web. Meanwhile, data buyers, like advertisers, market intelligence and analytics companies, AI/ML innovators, brands, and researchers, can access unique consumer insights at scale and with ease from all over the web.
By redistributing data profits and unlocking new data assets, Swash aims to rebalance the data economy by paying people for their everyday contributions while sourcing access to high-quality, diverse data, straight from the user.
Thalus.ai
Thalus.AI is a data privacy first company, harnessing advanced machine learning methods for novel research. Thalus.ai accelerates research by embodying the principles of focused data collection and minimization, and can mitigate many of the systemic privacy risks and costs resulting from traditional, centralized machine learning and data science approaches. Thalus.ai is rooted in research and holds deep expertise in natural language processing, bioinformatics & software engineering. Their in-house annotated datasets together with their platform built on federated learning and differential privacy can empower effective research & development.
Transport Genie
Transport Genie is a precision monitoring company that monitors local environmental conditions as assets in transit. Transport Genie’s novel and award winning IoT ecosystem can be used in multiple use cases ranging from livestock animals, equine, fruits and vegetables, companion pets, and also sensitive pharmaceutical deliveries. They deal with not just terrestrial transportation but also in oceanic environments. Transport Genie’s main tenet is to have data to enable smart decisions to happen through the implementation of their solution.
How to become and early stage data provider
To become an early stage data provider, you simply register your data or data services on Ocean Market.
The first step is identifying which datasets to register, and to make sure they are accessible online — this can either be as binary files (csv, xls, txt etc. any format) or a proxy server that serves up these files on request.
Then, to Ocean Market (https://market.oceanprotocol.com), connect your Web3 wallet (top left), and click on the “publish” button (top middle).
Updates
[Nov 13, 2020]: Removed CivicTechHub as a data launch partner, because they intentionally against the best interests of the Ocean community soon after launch. Details here:
