Notes about Cutting-Edge Technologies and Everything

With the v2 Compute-to-Data release, Ocean Protocol provides a means to exchange data while preserving privacy. This guide explains Compute-to-Data without requiring deep technical know-how. Private data is data that people or organizations keep to themselves. It can mean any personal, personally identifiable, medical, lifestyle, financial, sensitive or regulated information. Benefits of Private Data. Private data can help research, leading to life-altering innovations in science and technology. For example, more data improves the predictive accuracy of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. Private data is often considered the most valuable data because it’s so hard to get at, and using it can lead to potentially big payoffs. Risks of Private Data. Sharing or selling private data comes with risk. What if you don’t get hired because of your private medical history? What if you are persecuted for private lifestyle choices? Large organizations that have massive datasets know their d...

This guide will help you understand what Ocean Protocol is and how it works. It will be useful for developers who want a simple introduction to Ocean architecture and understand how data exchange works in Ocean. Finally, it details the components of our tech stack. After reading, you will understand the various actors and components in the Ocean Ecosystem, their roles and responsibilities — the perfect preface to dive further into our  Documentation .

More than $4 trillion in goods are shipped globally each year. The 80% of those goods carried via ocean shipping creates a lot of paperwork. Required trade documentation to process and administer all the goods is approximately one-fifth of the actual physical transportation costs. Last year, a logistics business and a large technology company developed a joint global trade digitalization platform built using blockchain technology. It will enable them to establish a shared, immutable record of all transactions and provide all disparate partners access to that information at any time. Although the distributed, immutable, encrypted nature of blockchain solutions can help with such business issues, blockchain can achieve much more than that. Large companies looking to explore new disruptive business opportunities need to think beyond efficiency gains. And to do so, they need real blockchain solutions. Full article >>>

When the web was developed over 25 years ago, the technologies in place significantly lowered the cost of building a global company. Thanks to the internet, it has become possible to reach a large part of the global population simply from behind your computer. Those companies who first understood the power of the web, and managed to execute their vision correctly, are now the leading global monopolies we are so familiar with: we use Google for finding information, Facebook or WeChat for social activities, Amazon to shop and Apple for our hardware, etc. But times are changing since Satoshi Nakamoto distributed a paper among a small group of cryptography enthusiasts. Fast forward 11 years, and the underlying technology of the proposed bitcoin is rapidly changing how we run our organisations. Blockchain is a fundamental technology that changes how we perform transactions, how we collaborate and how we build our organisations. Knowing what blockchain is and how it can contribute to impr...

By 2020, the Internet of Things (IoT) is predicted to generate an additional $344B in revenues, as well as to drive $177B in cost reductions. IoT and smart devices are already increasing performance metrics of major US-based factories. They are in the hands of employees, covering routine management issues and boosting their productivity by 40-60% [1]. The following list of predictions (Figure 1) explores the state of IoT in 2019 and covering IoT impact on many aspects business and technology including Digital Transformation, Blockchain, AI, and 5G.
