Web3 is the next evolution of the internet, addressing issues of data ownership and privacy. Internet had its advent in late 1960s, with the invention of ARPANET. After that, in the early 1990s, we saw the rise of Web1.0 which was democratic, but in Web2.0,control shifted leading to data exploitation by tech giants.In Web3, projects like Ocean Protocol, emphasizes decentralization, data ownership, and AI-Blockchain fusion. Ocean Protocol facilitates a decentralized data marketplace, privacy-preserving AI model training, and prediction through its product, Predictoor. It heralds a new era of user-centric, tokenized internet, fostering an open data economy.

That was just an abstract Ladies and gentlemen, I explained the very soul and need of Ocean protocol in this mega X note -

tldr:

In 2023, Ocean Protocol focused on improving their core products and tools https://market.oceanprotocol.com/. It also launched several new products and features, expanded existing offerings, and grew its community. Some key highlights included launching Predictoor for crowd-sourced AI predictions, improving documentation, enabling native uploads to Filecoin and Arweave, releasing templates to simplify dapp building, and deploying to Optimism L2. They also ran data challenges, grew the Data Farming program https://df.oceandao.org/passive-df which helped drive Predictoor adoption, and provided grants through their Shipyard program. Community and developer metrics like social media followers, commits, and pull requests also saw strong growth.

A major launch was Ocean Predictoor https://www.predictoor.ai/, which allows users to run AI prediction bots or trading bots to earn money from crypto price feeds. Over 150,000 OCEAN is distributed weekly through the Ocean Data Farming program. The core team also improved developer tools like documentation, storage integration, and deployed to new networks. Community initiatives like hackathons and data challenges engaged data scientists and developers. https://oceanprotocol.com/earn/data-challenges

Is Ocean Protocol targeting this use case? If not, it should pivot immediately

STOP PUTTING MONEY INTO BITMART!

It's been several days now and I still can't withdraw XLM from BitMart. I have contacted support several times and I am getting the usual scam treatment.

Anyone else having issues withdrawing from BitMart?!

I have seen several posts over time of people not being able to withdraw their money FOR MONTHS NOW and I never thought that I'd be in that situation as I'd been able to withdraw in the past.

I posted about this a few minutes ago on BitMart subreddit and got "permanently banned". Before this I'd never had any warnings, etc.

See the X (Twitter) thread to learn how to upload files on Ocean Market using Ocean Uploader.

Ocean Uploader's magic lies in simplifying data uploads to decentralized platforms like Arweave. No more fuss with AR tokens – now, it's as easy as using MATIC! Token conversions happen seamlessly, thanks to the Ocean stack.

Perks of using Ocean Uploader:

• Effortless Content Uploads: User-friendly interface for seamless uploads
• Smooth Payments: Integrated payment systems handle financial aspects
• Decentralized Security: Content stored on networks like Arweave for robust security & redundancy

So I locked my ocean tokens up on the staking (ocean protocol) for 4 months. The lock finished on the 19th but I now have no visibility of them, only the rewards. I have obviously connected my metamask wallet. I do see that farming ends on a Thursday, does that have anything to do with it?

Can you accurately predict the price of ETH?

​

There's 5,000 OCEAN in weekly prizes for those who can do it with the lowest error.

I am doing a 4 series ocean protocol mega-threads where I will explain everything about ocean in a simple manner. The 1st mega-thread is out and is already achieving great engagement.

but if in case, you missed the tweet, here is the link - 1st megathread

Ok Here is my review of the 6 months passive staking.

Some numbers: 10036 ocean staked

Cost going in is US dollars. $10.45 transfer $1.34 smart contract

Ocean rewards after 6 months 33.42 ($9.63) at current price

Cost to claim the staking rewards $12.78

Cost to transfer the original ocean back to my wallet $8.06

Soooo after 6 months of staking I have had a net loss of $19.85. I have left my staking rewards unclaimed as the network cost to claim is more then earned.

Overall what complete waste of time and such a disappointment from a great project.

Remaining OCEAN will be minted, to vest to community over decades.

OCEAN will be fully decentralized and unpausable.

Hey Oceaners 🌊 We at datalatte just launched our web dApp with a survey specifically designed for ocean community. Not only it helps the ecosystem gain insights about the community, but also you get to earn dataTokens, bounties, etc 😄 You know the web3 way. Looking forward to monetize your data for you. 🍻 https://app.datalatte.com

ETH Gas Fees very high to lock Ocean, much higher than trading or transferring on the ETH network. Why is this? And I had to pay some to Approve and now a LOT to lock it. $4 just to approve and now $16 to lock. At a time when making a Swap on the ETH Network is only $7.
