🏁 EOY Round-up| Ocean Protocol has been awarded “Technology Pioneer” by the World Economic Forum in 2021, for its contributions to #digitaleconomy, #technology and #governance.

👥👥 Former TPs from @wef include @airbnb, @Google, @kaggle, @Spotify and @Twitter

This is a two-year program and you can read more about it here: https://t.co/fd0P3ila26

Ocean Protocol was also featured in the World Economic Forum “Articulating value from data” report as an Innovator of the #DataEconomy, the result of the @wef working group on data, where Ocean is an active member starting last year.

The report highlights that businesses sharing data externally generate 3X more economic value than the others. Also, data increases in utility & value the more it is connected, driving up its value to all #stakeholders.

📰 NEW | Ocean was featured in the latest #BTIG Cryptoasset Currents report on fintech industry trends. The research highlights how Ocean enables the monetization of private data while preserving privacy. @PalmerBTIG

Check out the full report: https://bit.ly/31s7mpT

Leveraging blockchain technology to put users in control of their data, the report branded Ocean as a strong "alternative to data monopolies".

Main highlights:

✅ The protocol, by creating tools for manipulating data infrastructures, unlocks “data legos.”

✅ Through OCEAN tokens, users are incentivized to make valuable data available, while maintaining its confidentiality.

✅ Ocean Market–a decentralized exchange (DEX) tuned for data, allows for dynamic pricing of data sets with a Balancer-powered automated market maker (AMM).

✅ The growth and long-term sustainability of Ocean is ensured by @OceanDAO_ providing community-curated grants.

✅ Ocean Protocol’s V4 is coming soon and will include several improvements for rug pulls and tokenizing copyrights on data

Dive into all the specifics of Ocean by reading the full report and keep an eye on this space for our 2022 announcements coming soon!
