Ocean Protocol OCEAN

What OCEAN actually is on-chain

Ocean Protocol is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x967da4048cd07ab37855c090aaf366e4ce1b9f48. That address, not the ticker OCEAN, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself OCEAN, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, OCEAN is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in OCEAN itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For OCEAN the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @oceanprotocol. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where OCEAN sits in the market

Ocean Protocol sits at #817, inside the upper small-cap band. Depth here is shallow enough that one large order walks the book several percent and the print mean-reverts within the same session — which is why a single fixed price level is a fragile trigger, and a condition that tolerates one wick is the more useful construction. Listings are concentrated across a small number of venues, so volume-driven delisting is an active risk here rather than a hypothetical one.

We are not currently receiving a live OCEAN order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. OCEAN is a Ethereum asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Uniswap-style AMM pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

OCEAN against its all-time high

Ocean Protocol's record high is $1.93, set on 2021-04-10. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set 6 years ago. A peak that old describes a supply structure and a holder base that have almost certainly turned over since. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live OCEAN price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

OCEAN across its historical range

OCEAN has traded across a 150x range, between $0.0128 and $1.93. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $0.0128 was printed on 2019-08-11 — 7 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

OCEAN supply and valuation data

Ocean Protocol sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for OCEAN but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $33.4 million as of 2026-05-12. That places it in the top 10% by fully diluted value.

That valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live figure, so we deliberately avoid dividing it back into a token count — the price has moved since, and the arithmetic would yield a precise-looking supply number that is simply wrong. Read the current supply from the project's own explorer before relying on any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset OCEAN is

Ocean Protocol is tagged in the AI category, which in this market is a narrative cluster before it is a technical one. Assets here tend to move together on AI sentiment — often correlating with equity-market AI news rather than with the rest of crypto — and the correlation is strongest exactly when the narrative is hottest. That makes sector rotation, not project-specific news, the usual explanation for a large move.

CoinGecko files OCEAN under 10 categories, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Storage, Polygon Ecosystem, Ethereum Ecosystem, Optimism Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on Polygon (531 tracked tokens), Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), Optimism (125 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading.

How to set a Ocean Protocol alert that is worth receiving

Ocean Protocol is the ERC-20 at 0x967d…9f48 on Ethereum — high dated 2021-04-10 — rank #817. On this profile the condition that carries signal is a two-sided price threshold beyond the recent band plus a 4-hour or daily RSI condition.
