Create a new service

To create a new service, perform the following:

1. Click on the "Add a new service" button. The "Add a new service" form is displayed.

2. Fill in the following fields:

• Service Name

• Service Description

• Service Language

• Price: If you want the asset to be free, set the price to zero. For a paid asset, set the price to a value other than zero.

• Payment Collector Address: By default, the payment collector address is the publisher's address; however, it can be changed to a different address.

• Provider URL: the Ocean Node that will encrypt the asset.

• The asset's file

• Timeout

• Access Rules

• Consumer Parameters

For a description of each of these attributes, please review step 3 of the Publishing an asset page.

3. After the service's attributes are entered, click "Submit". A transaction request notification from Metamask appears on the screen. Press "Confirm".

4. A confirmation message is displayed on the screen. Click "Back to Asset" to return to the asset details screen.

Please note that from the time an asset is updated on the blockchain until it is indexed by the Ocean Node’s indexer, a delay may occur. This delay typically ranges from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on factors such as RPC endpoint performance, the current indexed block, and the machine’s processing capacity running the Ocean Node.
