Oceanlab: Supercharging the blockchain
Mastering blockchain data and opening the blockchain to millions
Thank you for taking the time to read our whitepaper. We hope that the information presented here will allow you to understand our potential as a team, as an investment tool and last but not least as a powerful addition which will greatly benefit us all as well as the Waves’ ecosystem.
Enjoy our first prototype: https://gravit.ws
A blockchain is not a transfer of value between A and B anymore, it can do things which are a lot more complex. From the already available token creations(CAT) to the future smart contracts, the Waves platform is building the strongest link between the blockchain and real world applications, companies and individuals. There’s now more exploitable data available inside the blockchain than ever, and also a lot of related external data as most of the tokens and transactions are connected to actual projects. This amount of data however is very hard to read, and even harder to analyze.
Oceanlab will act as the missing link between transactions and people, you’ll be able to read the blockchain as if you were reading a newspaper, accessing information related to trading, new uses of the blockchain, new technologies, projects, ... without browsing through an enormous amount of data. Information is one of the most precious asset from this era and our aim is to master it to be able to provide it to anyone the way it is needed. We’re in the process of creating the technology able to gather and process an enormous, ever growing amount of data and we plan to make the tools to make that technology available to everyone.
We’re looking deeply into Waves ever growing capabilities to invent new features and application fields for the Waves blockchain, our lab is already working on several projects unavailable to any other existing platform and some of our tests are already succeeding. Blockchain mass adoption is a slow process and our lab will contribute to it by acting as a technical incubator for european projects, imagining new use cases and helping the best ideas become a reality.
We’re basically a team of two, @dibatch is a designer with work experience in gaming websites design and I’m @sphearis, a developer who worked mainly in IT as a dev for the Belgian government (education) and as a regional IT manager for one of the biggest transportation company. But we’re also surrounded by a team of professionals in trading, business management, community management and designers who help regularly our projects to become even better than we imagined with an incredible motivation and dedication.
We both fell in love with Waves and blockchain development, the platform was awesome, simply the one we were looking for (having followed crypto for nearly 2 years). We started by creating a few community oriented projects around the Waves blockchain as well as a set of tools to interact easily with the platform. We created the faucet engine which is making thousands of transactions every day, an automatically updated token database and a few community/full nodes tools. We are now willing to unleash the potential of Waves by creating the most awesome set of tools and innovative uses of the blockchain that Waves deserve.
There are a lot of great ideas in our notebook, but these aren’t just ideas or empty promises, we know the logic behind every one of them and we’re able to develop them. We have the required technical knowledge (clearly defined development and technical execution plans), the efficiency (the faucet engine for Waves and tokens was made in less than one week, starting from scratch and creating the first version of our Dot Net library at the same time) and we have the will to make Waves our next career move, we’re also ambitious and determined.
We’re ready to do whatever it takes to make one of the biggest moves in Blockchain history.
Gravit is an engine we created allowing us to develop easily and efficiently new websites and features (including some innovative uses unavailable to other blockchains), this engine is used in our first flagship product: https://Gravit.ws
Gravit.ws is actually like a blockchain explorer combined with a search engine and a community website. Every aspect of it is using some kind of gravit engine features such as in-depth information gathering, stats generation, anonymous and safe user submitted content, blockchain authentification and interaction… Advanced trading analysis is also planned with the inclusion of the Dex as well as other exchanges data and marketcap.
You can interact, add content, asset informations, comments or even chat simply by sending tokens with commands to the Gravitbot as attachment. You can also create polls and get votes registered into the blockchain. All these features provide to users blockchain secured and permanent information as well as a form of identification while remaining anonymous.
Gravit will be at first the best community building website around Waves and the most reliable source of information on the blockchain, its features will make other blockchain projects notice and realize the vast potential of the Waves platform
.
Having sufficient resources to create Gravit and other related projects at this point will allow Oceanlab to become a key player for the Waves platform and the community will benefit a lot from it as most of our projects will have an open/community version free for personal or asset creator use.

- Token lottery: 100% automated, 100% blockchain powered, no human intervention and randomization based on blockchain content. 24/7 lotteries available for any token. As a thank you and a support to all those who were there in Waves infancy, 50% of the small fee we’ll ask for running the lotteries will be distributed amongst WCT holders.
- PoS4All: We have found a way to provide a PoS (Proof of Stake) feature to any token created on the platform, as soon as we’ve built the engine, it will be made available to anyone.
- BIC (Blockchain Information Channels): Publishing information and analysis directly on the blockchain like price tickers, meteo, data analysis… And give an easy access to anyone as it is directly and constantly available on the blockchain, easily readable and easily published under any form you like. A free technical demo is released with our Gravit prototype, the Waves price ticker from Bittrex is continuously published on the Waves Blockchain. A fuel system will be created to pay for server maintenance and resources: Anyone will be able to provide funds to the bots running the channels and keep them activated. One of the first channels we’ll be working on is a trading alert channel (important volume changes alerts to warn in real time about crypto price growth opportunities.)

What will be the funds used for?
We actually both have a day job and we have to work in our free time to develop all these motivating projects. It can be hard sometimes even if we really love what we do. Especially when you’ve got a family behind you, as supportive as everyone can be.
The funds will allow us to be able to spend more time and focus on our projects while being less dependent on our daily income. Our personal investment will know a transition phase at first, but as soon as the company begins generating revenues we’ll be able to dedicate ourselves completely to our projects and research.
At least 3 of the services we’ll deploy in our first year of operation will generate revenues.
The funds will also be used to upgrade our current infrastructure (network, servers, …). This will greatly improve speed, reliability and will make our engine able to evolve at the same rate as the Waves blockchain.
We have a good work experience in some of the most complex industries and/or public services, I’ve worked as a consultant for small companies and we know how to manage our money to make the most of any resource we have, that’s already what we’re doing now, we’re getting results with almost nothing in our hands.
We will use the funds with precaution. There will be monthly usage limits based on what our infrastructure needs to remain effective, our salary and those of future employees as well as sponsoring events and participate in conferences where we can promote our products. The funds will also serve as a reserve allowing us to pay for new hardware or services required by our contractors to start developing their projects. Our work will switch between contracts and community services building/experiments/innovations around the blockchain.
We know people are worried about ICO cash-outs, we don’t plan to do any of that, we analyzed our needs correctly for the first few years of operation and evolution and we already planned to work on a very limited budget for at least one year. There won’t be any bad surprise on the markets (not from us anyway). We raise money not for ourselves but for our projects, we’ll still win a lot in the end by proving who we are.
We’ll have a fixed amount of 50 000 000 tokens:
2 500 000 tokens will be kept by us for our internal operations (5%), these won’t be used for at least two years and will be released only if needed with a monthly limit of 100 000 per month.
500 000 will be used for bounties and events (1%)
250 000 (0.5%) will be airdropped to WavesCommunity Tokens holders as a gesture of appreciation for their support as Waves community members
250 000 (0.5%) will be airdropped to MRT holders as a gesture of appreciation for their support to the Waves network
The remaining 46 500 000(93%) will be sold in our ICO.
Our ICO will run from the 7th August 8AM GMT to the 31st August 8AM GMT.
You’ll be able to invest in Oceanlab with any verified token on the Waves platform having a market valuation (You’ll be able to invest in Ripto Bux, Euro, Ethereum or Waves Community Tokens for example) by sending them to a Waves wallet address which will be revealed when the ICO starts.
There will be a first day bonus (24hours) of 15%, a second day bonus of 10% and a third day bonus of 5%.
From Day 4, a permanent 5% bonus will be added to people who invest in our project with Waves.
We have set several funding targets for our ICO. Even if the “Baby Squid” level already allows us to keep working on our initial plans, any additional amount collected will grant us more efficiency and support the completion of the whole project as it is intended.
