Ocean Protocol

Pon's journey into crypto began with the idea of utilizing blockchain technology to transform data and intellectual property into tangible assets. He recognized a critical issue in the financial world - many individuals lacked access to capital because they didn't possess assets that could be converted into financial value. Drawing inspiration from Hernando de Soto's seminal work, "The Mystery of Capital," he realized that just as land needed titles for monetization, intellectual property could similarly benefit from this concept. By granting individuals titles to their intellectual property and data through blockchain, there was a potential avenue to monetize these intangible assets. [4]

In 2017, Pon founded Ocean Protocol with the mission to serve as the coordination and revenue-generating mechanism for data and AI, fostering a transparent Data Economy that promotes equal opportunities for all involved parties. [5]

”We are looking forward to having thousands of marketplaces spring up around the data economy and then for millions of people to discover the data and start to use it while solving many of the problems the world faces.”[6]

In an interview, Pon shared that the idea behind the Ocean Protocol emerged from the belief in restoring individuals' control over their ideas and data. Recognizing the value of data in addressing complex global challenges, the founders understood the necessity of unlocking its potential. Ocean Protocol addresses this barrier by facilitating secure and private data exchange.[4]
