Ocean Protocol's Ocean Node Incentive Program Delayed Due to Backend Improvements

Decentralized data exchange protocol Ocean Protocol has delayed its anticipated Ocean node incentive program, Cointelegraph reports. According to an official blog post, the launch of the program has been moved to August 29 to address “necessary back-end updates” and ensure a fair experience for all participants. The decision comes after the Ocean team identified and resolved several issues with the monitoring system that tracks node uptime and incentive eligibility.

The Ocean team discovered logic flaws in the monitoring system responsible for tracking node performance, which is critical to ensuring the fairness of the program. According to the official post, the team quickly “resolved the bugs and fixed the logic errors found in the eligibility checks.” While addressing the back-end issues, the Ocean team made several improvements to its Ocean Nodes Dashboard. The dashboard updates are designed to improve the user experience by providing users with more detailed, actionable data, and the Ocean team notes that the values in the “Reward Eligibility” column may still be inaccurate until they “push for back-end updates.”
