Guide to Passive DF
Get veOCEAN to use the Data Farming dApp and make yield!
In order to get yield in DF, you will need to lock your OCEAN first! When you lock your OCEAN, you get veOCEAN and weekly passive OCEAN rewards in return. veOCEAN is a token used in Ocean Protocol's Data Farming dApp to generate even more yield, called Volume DF rewards, for allocating your veOCEAN to your favorite assets and get a portion of their sales!
