Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) –  Built on Ethereum, Ocean is a platform that allows businesses and individuals to exchange and monetize data and data-based services. In this way, it seeks to make datasets, called datatokens, available to startups and researchers without the data having to leave the hands of those who store it. OCEAN is an ERC-20 token and allows users to buy and sell datatokens, participate in Ocean’s governance, or stake in Ocean’s marketplace. 

Energy Web Token (EWT) – EWT is the native cryptocurrency of the Energy Web Chain, a blockchain platform designed to support the development of energy sector applications. EWT plays a key role in the Energy Web Chain, as it is used to pay those who validate transactions on its blockchain and allows those who hold it to pay for services in certain dapps. Note that EWT trading is not available to residents of the US and Canada.

Trade with caution

Limit orders are recommended when trading starts since the markets may be illiquid initially. Be extremely careful with market orders and orders that trigger market orders (e.g. stop loss).

Invest with caution

Listing an asset or token for trade is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or participate in the associated network. Do your own research and invest at your own risk.
