If you’re so confident in your story, waive confidentiality on the legal process so everyone can see our witness statements, testimony and filings under oath.
Several lies and of course response from us will come, but the questions remain:
1. why did you convert the oceanDao treasury to fet and dumped before leaving.
2. If the Alliance had these (unfounded) issues why did you not voice them but instead took the fet from the community rewards wallet and dumped before leaving.
3.Are you accepting that you and Ocean foundation controls the DAO and now the Caymen entity!
A first rebuttal, of many to come.
The ASI Alliance from Ocean’s Perspective
By @brucepon
People are rightly angry and frustrated. No one is a winner in this current state of unease, lack of information and transparency, and mudslinging. Ocean doesn’t see the benefit of throwing around unfounded and false allegations or the attempts to sully the reputations of the projects and people – it just damages both the ASI and Ocean communities unnecessarily.
Ocean has chosen to remain silent until now, out of respect for the ongoing legal processes. But given so many flagrant violations of decency, Ocean would like to take an opportunity to rebut many publicly voiced false allegations, libels, and baseless claims being irresponsibly directed towards the Ocean Protocol project. The false and misleading statements serve only to further inflame our community, while inciting anger and causing even more harm to the ASI and Ocean communities than is necessary.
Rather than throw unsubstantiated jabs, I would like to provide a full context with supporting evidence and links, to address many of the questions around the ASI Alliance, Ocean’s participation, and the many incorrect allegations thrown out to muddy the waters and sow confusion among our community.
This blogpost will be followed up with a claim-by-claim rebuttal of all the allegations that have been directed towards Ocean since October 9, 2025 but for now, this blog gives the context and Ocean’s perspective.
I encourage you to read it all, as it reflects months of conversations that reveal the context and progression of events, so that you can best understand why Ocean took steps to chart a separate course from the ASI Alliance. We hope the ASI Alliance can continue its work and we wish them well. Meanwhile, Ocean will go its own way, as we have every right to do.
These are the core principles of decentralization – non-coercion, non-compulsion, individual agency, sovereign property ownership and the power of you, the individual, to own and control your life.

In the heat of the moment, let's talk about what @OceanProtocol has developed over the course of the last 8 (!) Years building DeAI infrastructure.
Read on to learn about $OCEAN.
It was destiny. Shayne is 19 in this photo. Even then, he had drive, hustle, and an unquenchable vision. I hope he becomes the GOAT with a long career of building world-changing companies to give people power and liberty. I'm proud of you man @shayne_coplan

The future of data is private yet open for innovation
That’s exactly what the partnership between @OasisProtocol & @oceanprotocol is building a privacy-preserving data economy where data can be monetized, shared, and used without ever losing control.
🧵 Let’s dive in.
Oasis’s Superpower: Smart Privacy via TEEs
#OasisNetwork provides a confidential execution layer via TEE
This creates a secure black box where computations happen encrypted end-to-end, invisible even to node operators.
Ocean’s Superpower:"Compute-to-Data"
Instead of exposing raw data, algorithms travel to the data, run securely, and return results (like AI models or analytics).
The data never leaves its source, solving the age-old tension of utility vs. privacy.
The Synergy: Ocean + Oasis
Ocean’s "Compute-to-Data" + Oasis’s confidential execution = a secure, verifiable pipeline for AI, DeFi & data science.
From confidential marketplaces to Data DAOs, they’re enabling compliant, privacy-first monetization of sensitive data.
Real Impact
• Healthcare: Hospitals can train AI models on patient data without sharing records.
• Finance: Banks can unlock insights from private datasets.
• AI: Developers can train models on diverse, siloed data while respecting GDPR/HIPAA.
Privacy + Utility ≠ impossible anymore.
Some highlights from last year
📍 Aug: Ocean Nodes integrated with Oasis Sapphire. Nearly 100k nodes live. Rewards boosted from 250k → 300k $ROSE per epoch.
📍 Oct: @GoogleCloud joined the Oasis x Ocean P4W3 Hackathon with up to $2k in startup credits.
📍 Oct: Oasis featured at @oceanprotocol’s Superintelligence Summit in Bangkok.
@OasisProtocol + @oceanprotocol are building the plumbing for Web3’s data economy.
They prove that privacy and transparency, trust and trustlessness don’t have to be paradoxes when architecture is designed right.
AI x DePIN x Privacy.
Shibuya is where it all connects.
Oasis is happy to partner with @oceanprotocol for AI + DePIN Connect 2025.

This SignalBoost quest from @lunor_ai in collab with @oceanprotocol is a real gem! They’re challenging us to find news that truly moves the market, not They’re asking us to find news that actually moves the market, not just creates hype.
We’re talking tweets, blog posts, or announcements that shift token prices, like listings, hacks, or funding rounds. They track the impact against $BTC over various timeframes, which feels like a solid way to measure influence.
The whole idea is to build a dataset that could power serious AI for crypto market analysis. I’ve always felt there’s too much noise out there and SignalBoost seems like a smart way to let the community filter out the real signals.
Plus, getting rewarded for spotting market-moving events? That’s a sweet incentive, especially with a $5,000 prize pool for Round 1.
The process is straightforward. Find a news item, categorize it, submit it with a timestamp and Coingecko ID. Then let @coingecko and @ccxt_official data verify the price impact. Scoring depends on the confirmed price change, with rewards scaling linearly. It looks like they’re aiming to fairly reward big contributions, and there’s even a bonus for the first valid submission from a new source.
If you want to jump in without hassle, check out the Signal Boost Starter Kit on GitHub github.com/lunorai/signal-bo…
It lets you fork the repo, validate your CSV locally and confirm Coingecko IDs to avoid formatting mistakes. I always appreciate when projects offer tools like this upfront; it makes joining easier and encourages more people to get involved.
Round 1 runs until September 30, 2025 at 17:00 CET, so you’ve got plenty of time to join. The total prize pool is $10,000, with $5,000 set for this initial round. It’s a great chance to contribute to something impactful in crypto data and earn some rewards.
Seriously, if you spend your days scrolling crypto news and spotting trends before they explode, SignalBoost is for you!
Head over to start curating and earning. Let’s see who can find the real market movers together!

Last year nearly crushed me and the Coinbase hack brought it all back. I had this post coming for a while now and it's a coincidence that it is more relevant than I had hoped for. Couple of points:
- the good: A better way to do KYC is possible
- the hack: Why the hack happened and why I stayed silent for too long
- the ugly: This industry is degen in the streets and centralized in the sheets
I hope this incident will serve as a wake-up call, like it did for us last year – we need to change.
