Network Overview

Oz is a decentralized network for the incentivized sharing of specialized data streams.

This article is intended for a technical audience to understand how Oz works under the hood.

The protocol is composed of a Collector Factory, designed to enable the creation of modular data streaming tools called Collectors, a Subscription Manager, designed to store subscriptions to each Collector's data stream, and a Reputation Manager to represent the quality of data provided by each collector.
