+# `useCompute`
+
+The `OceanProvider` maintains a connection to the Ocean Protocol network in multiple steps:
+
+1. On mount, connect to Aquarius instance right away so any asset metadata can be retrieved before, and independent of any Web3 connections.
+2. Once Web3 becomes available, a connection to all Ocean Protocol network components is established.
+3. Once Ocean becomes available, spits out some info about it.
+
+Also provides a `useOcean` helper hook to access its context values from any component.
+
+## Usage
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react'
+import {
+  useWeb3,
+  useOcean,
+  useMetadata,
+  useCompute,
+  computeOptions,
+  ComputeValue,
+  readFileContent
+} from '@oceanprotocol/react'
+
+const did = 'did:op:0x000000000'
+
+export default function MyComponent() {
+  // Get web3 from built-in Web3Provider context
+  const { web3 } = useWeb3()
+
+  // Get Ocean instance from built-in OceanProvider context
+  const { ocean, account } = useOcean()
+
+  // Get metadata for this asset
+  const { title, metadata } = useMetadata(did)
+
+
+  // compute asset
+  const { compute, computeStep } = useCompute()
+  // raw code text
+  const [algorithmRawCode, setAlgorithmRawCode] = useState('')
+  const [computeContainer, setComputeContainer] = useState<ComputeValue>()
+  async function handleCompute() {
+    await consume(did,algorithmRawCode,computeContainer)
+  }
+
+  async function onChangeHandler(event){
+    const fileText = await readFileContent(files[0])
+    setAlgorithmRawCode(fileText)
+  }
+  async function handleSelectChange(event: any)  {
+    const comType = event.target.value
+    setComputeContainer(comType)
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{title}</h1>
+      <p>Price: {web3.utils.fromWei(metadata.main.price)}</p>
+
+      <p>Your account: {account}</p>
+      <label for="computeOptions">Select image to run the algorithm</label>
+      <select id="computeOptions"  onChange={handleSelectChange}>
+        {computeOptions.map((x) => (
+            <option value={x.value}>{x.name}</option>
+        )
+        }
+      </select>
+      <input type="file" name="file" onChange={onChangeHandler}/>
+      <button onClick={handleCompute}>
+        {computeStep || 'Start compute job'}
+      </button>
+    </div>
+  )
