Sell Data on iExec

WHAT IT DOES

Sell Data on iExec enables you to list datasets for sale on the iExec decentralized marketplace. iExec is a decentralized computing platform that includes a data marketplace where data providers can monetize their datasets by selling access to them. This tool takes a dataset reference (URL or IPFS CID), data metadata (name, description, price, license), and sends a transaction to an iExec marketplace contract to list the dataset for sale. The listing creates an immutable record of the dataset reference, metadata, price, and listing status. This is essential for data providers, researchers, developers, and anyone looking to monetize data on a decentralized marketplace. The tool provides clear output showing the dataset name, reference, price, license, and transaction hash.

HOW TO USE

Connect your wallet using the BGWallet connector (required for context). Enter the iExec marketplace contract address. Enter the dataset reference (URL or IPFS CID). Enter a data name. Enter a description. Enter the price in native tokens. Select the license type (MIT, Apache 2.0, GPLv3, BSD-3, or Custom). Click "List Data for Sale" to list the dataset on the iExec marketplace. The tool displays the dataset name, reference, price, license, and transaction hash. You can copy the dataset reference or view the transaction on the blockchain explorer. The result includes a detailed breakdown showing the listing details and status.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

This tool implements iExec data marketplace listing by sending a transaction to an iExec marketplace contract. The listing process: (1) the dataset reference and metadata are validated; (2) a transaction is sent to the contract with the listing data; (3) the contract registers the listing with the signer's address and timestamp; (4) the dataset becomes available for purchase on the iExec marketplace; (5) the transaction hash serves as the proof of the listing. The blockchain provides a permanent, tamper-proof record of the data listing. All computation is performed locally in the browser with no data sent to external servers except for the transaction itself.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot verify the actual data quality or value—it only registers the listing. It does not support listing without valid dataset reference and metadata; all fields are required. The tool cannot detect if the dataset is actually accessible or valid; it only registers the listing. It does not support listing of datasets not using the specified contract; the contract is required. The tool cannot verify the accuracy of the metadata or pricing; it only stores what is provided. It does not support listing across non-EVM chains. The tool cannot guarantee that the listing record is complete or truthful; it only stores the record. It does not support batch listing of multiple datasets; each listing must be submitted separately.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool is designed for developers and users needing iExec data marketplace listings on EVM-compatible blockchains. The dataset reference uniquely identifies the dataset. The blockchain provides a permanent, verifiable record of the listing. The contract address must be a valid iExec marketplace contract. For production use, ensure you have the correct contract address and sufficient gas fees. Always verify the listing status through trusted sources. The tool is intended for testing, development, and educational purposes.
