If you’re so confident in your story, waive confidentiality on the legal process so everyone can see our witness statements, testimony and filings under oath.

Several lies and of course response from us will come, but the questions remain:

1. why did you convert the oceanDao treasury to fet and dumped before leaving.

2. If the Alliance had these (unfounded) issues why did you not voice them but instead took the fet from the community rewards wallet and dumped before leaving.

3.Are you accepting that you and Ocean foundation controls the DAO and now the Caymen entity!

The ASI Alliance from Ocean’s Perspective

By @brucepon

People are rightly angry and frustrated. No one is a winner in this current state of unease, lack of information and transparency, and mudslinging. Ocean doesn’t see the benefit of throwing around unfounded and false allegations or the attempts to sully the reputations of the projects and people – it just damages both the ASI and Ocean communities unnecessarily.

Ocean has chosen to remain silent until now, out of respect for the ongoing legal processes. But given so many flagrant violations of decency, Ocean would like to take an opportunity to rebut many publicly voiced false allegations, libels, and baseless claims being irresponsibly directed towards the Ocean Protocol project. The false and misleading statements serve only to further inflame our community, while inciting anger and causing even more harm to the ASI and Ocean communities than is necessary.

Rather than throw unsubstantiated jabs, I would like to provide a full context with supporting evidence and links, to address many of the questions around the ASI Alliance, Ocean’s participation, and the many incorrect allegations thrown out to muddy the waters and sow confusion among our community.

This blogpost will be followed up with a claim-by-claim rebuttal of all the allegations that have been directed towards Ocean since October 9, 2025 but for now, this blog gives the context and Ocean’s perspective.

I encourage you to read it all, as it reflects months of conversations that reveal the context and progression of events, so that you can best understand why Ocean took steps to chart a separate course from the ASI Alliance. We hope the ASI Alliance can continue its work and we wish them well. Meanwhile, Ocean will go its own way, as we have every right to do.

These are the core principles of decentralization – non-coercion, non-compulsion, individual agency, sovereign property ownership and the power of you, the individual, to own and control your life.

Agree wholeheartedly with @itsolelehmann on ‘Why Europe has already lost the AI Race’

Option A: Spend 2 years navigating EU bureaucracy
Option B: Move to the US and start building tomorrow

The choice is obvious. That's why European founders are fleeing.

But here's what's really tragic:

AI needs massive amounts of cheap energy to power the queries as well as deep pockets of private risk capital that encourages fast experimentation and failure.

Europe has neither the energy nor risk capital, and is overburdened by strangulating regulations.

The EU energy policy is a declaration of economic and industrial suicide.

The EU is relegated to hitting singles while giving up home runs to the USA.

The EU is a farm league where promising startups gain initial traction and then must move to the USA to scale and grow.
