LLMs rely on massive, high-quality datasets for training and fine-tuning. But critical questions arise:

1. Where does this data come from?

2. Is it legally sourced?

3. Are the original contributors fairly compensated?

Ocean Protocol addresses these challenges head-on by introducing a decentralised, ethical data economy:

a) Data ownership at the source - Ocean CLI enables users to tokenise and take control of their data

b) Granular access control & licensing - Powered by on-chain datatokens, ensuring traceability and compliance

c) Royalty-based usage models - Built-in crypto incentives reward data providers whenever their data is used

Ocean makes the training data supply chain transparent, monetizable, and compliant, a critical foundation for scaling LLMs the right way
