We have some results to announce!🌊
The @OceanDAO_ Round 21 is officially over and here's an overview of the highlights:
13 proposals submitted
11 projects funded/partially funded
6,150,205 OCEAN tokens voted
416,395 OCEAN granted
Here are some of the new entrants πŸ‘‡

Visualizing C2D is the latest project to join the Ocean ecosystem.
It aims to build general purpose input and output visualizer using Gradio and react components for improving the experience of Ocean's Compute-to-Data functionality.

🚩Problems to solve:
πŸ› οΈ Mitigate the lack of a visual interface that makes C2D interaction counter-intuitive for machine learning and data science experts.
πŸ› οΈAllowing Developers to Deploy and Monitor Multiple C2D Jobs

πŸ’°Grant Deliverables:
βœ…Implement gradioflow’s integration with compute and access assets
βœ…Monitor assets with gradioflow integration

πŸ› οΈAnother new project to have secured funding in Round 21 is HYGROPRO Defarm.
The initiative involves onboarding all controlled environment vertical farm systems to Ocean Protocol to act as a decentralized farm 🌊

🚩Problems to solve:
πŸ› οΈ To leverage controlled environment system data and plant growth techniques to introduce a new use case for the Ocean data marketplace.
πŸ› οΈMake Ocean Protocol the premier the crucible for artificial general agriculture intelligence.

πŸ’°Grant Deliverables:

βœ…Build a general intelligence machine learning algorithm that interacts directly with a network of independent controlled environment grow devices through a bounty system on a Proof of Grow Ocean Protocol Data Market fork:

Let's keep that engagement going!😍πŸ”₯

The Ocean X @dimitratech Phase 2 Data Challenge is live on @questbookappπŸ’₯ with $10K USD on offer for the best algorithms to harness the power of agricultural data for global change πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ
Here is an overview πŸ‘‡

πŸ› Participants are presented with a dataset containing the crop yield data for soybeans in the 46 districts of Madhya Pradesh state, India and the MODIS satellite data on normalized difference vegetation, leaf area, evapotranspiration, land surface temperature and rainfall.

πŸ‘€πŸ“’The challenge is to study the target soybean yields satellite data, rank the factors that affect yields and build a simple model to predict yields based on the features. The participants will also identify and explain any trends in the yield data over a 10-year period.

The rewards?πŸ’°πŸ‘€
🎁1st place: $4000
🎁2nd place: $3,000
🎁3rd place: $2000
