The Token For The Web3 Data Economy
The OCEAN token is used to stake on data, to govern Ocean community funding, and to buy & sell data.
OCEAN is deployed to Ethereum mainnet. The smart contracts for Ocean functionality are also deployed to Ethereum mainnet, and to further networks over time.
The supply of OCEAN is capped to 1.41 billion tokens. 51% of this supply is disbursed according to a Bitcoin-like schedule over decades, to fund the community (OceanDAO, Data Farming, etc).

Governance
Via OceanDAO, users use OCEAN to govern which Ocean community projects to fund. In Ocean, governance is about directing the flow of resources towards the teams and projects that offer the best chance for growth. OCEAN holders are incentivized to do work to learn more about each team and project proposal, and then use OceanDAO to vote for the most promising teams/projects. The main criteria are return on investment, and alignment with Ocean's Mission and Values. 51% of the OCEAN supply is disbursed according to a Bitcoin-like schedule over decades, to fund the community (OceanDAO, Data Farming, etc). This helps both near-term growth and long-term sustainability
