**Data Farming (DF) is Ocean's incentive program.** It rewards OCEAN to participants who lock OCEAN into veOCEAN, curate data, or make predictions -- all in the name of driving **data consume volume** (DCV). DF is a bit like DeFi liquidity mining, but tuned for DCV.
DF is organized into two streams: Passive DF and Active DF. Each has 50% of the DF budget. Passive DF allows for passive earning potential. Active DF requires more engagement; it has several substreams, each with its own activity.
1.**[Passive DF](passivedf.md).** 150,000 OCEAN per week. Lock OCEAN for **veOCEAN**; rewards are pro-rata to veOCEAN holdings.
1.**Active DF.** 150,000 OCEAN per week. It has these substreams:
1.**[Volume DF](volumedf.md).** Allocate veOCEAN towards data assets with high DCV, ie "curate data". Rewards are a function of DCV and veOCEAN stake. 112.5K OCEAN/week.
1.**[Predictoor DF](predictoordf.md).** Run prediction bots to earn continuously. 37.5K OCEAN/week.
Active DF's substreams can -- and do -- evolve over time. It's chronicled [here](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/ocean-data-farming-series-c7922f1d0e45).
**[Reward Schedule](reward-schedule.md)**. The 300,000 OCEAN / week currently available for DF rewards will increase over time to over 1.1M OCEAN / week.
**[Yields](apys.md)**. Historically, APYs are 5-20%. APYs vary week to week. APY depends on total OCEAN staked, duration of OCEAN lock, DCV, what DF streams you participate in, and other factors.
