H20 on OCEAN๐ŸŒŠ

Youโ€™ve probably heard the newsโ€”@coinbase reportedly sells usersโ€™ data to a US agency. Alarming, as it should be.๐Ÿšจ

While the crypto exchange denied the allegation, itโ€™s good to pinpoint how these platforms and other companies are using your #data.

Most people are unaware of how much of their activities are being monitoredโ€”interactions, the products/services you frequently view, the links you click. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿ›

Once you become part of the user base, these are all collected and linked to you to understand your behavior as a user, creating your unique digital footprint.

This is why youโ€™ll see @facebook posts or @instagram reels categorized based on your interests. ๐Ÿ“ฑ

Itโ€™s understandable that these companies would want to collect your data to protect themselves (and you) from potential fraud. Sometimes, even required by law to verify your identity. However, it should NEVER be the purpose to SELL your data without your consent. ๐Ÿ™…

Your data is worth more than you think. Tech giants like Alphabet, Meta, Apple, and Amazon use data as the main currency of trade, which takes place in private digital marketplaces where data is sold to the highest bidder to gain access to your digital footprints.

This provides them more targeted services and advertisements.
Theyโ€™ve made their fortunes and built their empires off the backs of data.

Itโ€™s time to take control of what is ours! Protect your data! Carefully read terms and conditions. Used #Decentralized apps (dApps). Thereโ€™s a place in #web3 that allows you to monetize data if YOU choose to.

@oceanprotocol, for example, allows users to freely exchange and sell valuable data, all on-chain.

Data protocols like us H2O, @oceanprotocol, & @dataxfi are shaping the future of the data economy in web3 and have made it their mission to ensure that users are no longer products for monopolistic mega-corporations.

While weโ€™re at it, letโ€™s take a closer look at our previous report on #data as an asset class. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

A vulnerability exists in Ocean pools where one could stake, buy datatokens, unstake, and then sell datatokens.

In certain pools with sufficient liquidity, this can be profitable and when performed repeatedly, will result in a portion of OCEAN being drained from the pool.

This vulnerability is mitigated with an increase in the swap fee to 15%. Thus, a new fee of 15% has been set and is live. Proceeds from this fee go back to the Ocean community.

We are looking at further measures to eliminate this attack vector and weโ€™ll come back to you when we have something to report.

Ocean Protocol has taken a snapshot and anyone that has taken a loss will be compensated.

Ocean Market pool BELFOR is under attack and funds are being drained. Please remove your liquidity from all data pools now. We are diagnosing the attack vector and will come back to you.

We are hosting an AMA today with founders @trentmc0 and @BrucePon to discuss the recent liquidity draining attack on Ocean data pools and mitigation measures.

Join today, July 12th @ 4PM UTC and get all your questions answered.

Important โš ๏ธ

At the end of last week, we noticed suspicious behaviour in several Ocean Market data pools that resulted in a loss of some OCEAN.

Here is an overview of what happened since, why it happened and the mitigation measures that are being taken to prevent further attack vectors.

Let's unpack๐Ÿ‘‡

https://t.co/qqIv32svbe

๐Ÿšจ The first series of attacks took place last Thu around 7pm CEST time. Attacker executed the following actions in loop:

Stake OCEAN in a data pool
Buy datatokens
Unstake OCEAN
Sell datatokens

Through this sequence, small amounts of OCEAN were drained from data pools.

After reports from the Ocean community, we implemented the following change as short-term mitigation:

โœ…Raised the swap fee to 15% to make the attacks unprofitable

โœ…We also explored solutions in how to mitigate the risks long term

๐Ÿšจ On Monday, July 11, the attacker re-started their attempts to drain Ocean data pools, this time using over $600,000 OCEAN.

#veOCEAN is coming to the Ocean ecosystem ๐ŸŒŠ

Following feedback from the community and recent learnings, we are introducing veOCEAN to best align the incentives of token holders and liquidity providers.

Continue reading ๐Ÿ‘‡ https://t.co/Cme16cby0x

How?๐ŸŒŸ

veOCEAN holders can lock their $OCEAN tokens over a time period to earn rewards and voting power. The longer the lock period, the higher the rewards and the voting power.

They can also vote on proposals and earn rewards, both from consume fees and data farming.

veOCEAN holders can earn passive rewards, solely by locking their $OCEAN.

Or, they can be active by allocating veOCEAN to higher-quality datasets for greater earnings.

Going forward, veOCEAN will be the main mechanism for staking $OCEAN and for curation of datasets. Itโ€™s lower risk than Ocean datatoken pools, and it delivers similar benefits.

When? โฐ

The potential of having a data wallet with personal data controlled entirely by the user is very real. There are going to be technologies that could peek into it, however, in a privacy-preserving manner with Ocean as the technical base๐ŸŒŠ
Join us for the @OceanDAO_ Town Hall #82 today @โฐ3PM UTC to discuss all things @OceanDAO_ but also the Ocean Market recent updates and veOCEAN.

While we work on removing the data pool functionality from Ocean Market and implementing veOCEAN for safer staking, this is a reminder for you toโ—๏ธremove any remaining liquidity from data pools for a faster transition.
