DEX creates open source software, tools and solutions for builders of decentralised data exchanges, marketplaces and services that power the Data Economy. The world is moving towards fully trustless infrastructure, tools and applications. This process is gradual, needing a range of progressive changes to happen before it can reach maturity. Having years of experience in helping businesses share data through a centralised marketplace, DEX understands the current needs of both organisations and data scientists very well. DEX enables business innovation for decentralised data sharing services and models with a combination of on and off-chain capabilities. Founded by BigchainDB and DEX, Ocean Protocol is a decentralized data exchange protocol to unlock data for AI. Through blockchain technology and native token, Ocean Protocol connects data providers and consumers, allowing data to be shared while guaranteeing traceability, transparency, and trust for all stakeholders involved. It allows data owners to have control over their data assets and prevent them from being locked-in to any single marketplace. DEX is building the open source building blocks for Ocean Protocol applications. Similar to how the first websites set the standards for the Web 1.0, DEX creates open source templates for marketplaces built on Ocean Protocol. This will enable enterprises to participate in the Data Economy and it will democratise access to data asset sharing. We’re a tight-knit international team based in sunny Singapore, one of the hottest cities in the blockchain space. We’re practical, love solving problems, and are always building. At the same time, we care deeply about principles and purposes, and highly value research and experimentation. We work closely with users, technology partners, regulators, and engage frequently with the global decentralization community on and offline. We are an equal opportunity employer and cherish diversity. Our team comes from all over the world from Singapore, Canada, India, Italy, to the UK.

We believe that the future is decentralized! We believe in the value data can bring to people, businesses, and the world. We work to not only enable data sharing, but sharing with care for privacy, fairness, and consent. We believe that, by opening access to the world’s data, we can prevent data monopolies and accelerate AI development to improve lives. It is part of our mission to foster a world-class open source community that actively empowers the data economy and build a better future. First Goal: Build the Data Economy 1. Lead the charge in breaking data silos 2. Develop and distribute open source building blocks for the Data Economy 3. Increase data liquidity to bring AI to the masses Second Goal: Facilitate scalable and universal sharing of data and information capabilities 1. Make data services widely available to the community 2. Be a catalyst of Data for good and AI for good - the driver of our actions 3. Build for the community and focus on impact 4. Establish trust among participants via an open licence data sharing framework Third Goal: Reduce unfair asymmetries 1. Give control back to data subjects and owners 2. Champion data privacy and consent 3. Accelerate decentralised data and services exchange 4. Grow the ecosystem of the data economy

In line with best practices of the blockchain industry, DEX will open source the protocol, reference marketplace, API’s for integrations, applications on the protocol, data science tools and a trust data framework.
