The Ocean team said:

“The Ocean envisions a future where the flow of value is as seamless and fluid as water. Today, digital asset markets are sluggish, inefficient, and exclusionary. They mirror traditional finance in the worst ways, creating systems that rely on trust rather than trustlessness. This creates additional costs and risk for both individual and institutional traders.” “We’re crafting the solutions to disrupt how digital assets are exchanged. We empower anyone, anywhere to cut out the middleman and reap the benefits of wallet-to-wallet trading–not just for cryptocurrency and utility tokens but also for tokenized securities and derivatives too. Everyone should have the financial freedom to invest, transfer money, and create value.”
