Use 52.25 not 52.0 if you wish. -- For WPY of 0.005, then `APY = (1.0 + 0.005)^52 - 1.0 = 0.296 = 29.6%`. -- This assumes zero gas fees. That's reasonable given that staking & claiming are one-time transactions. - -**APY without compounding.** -- If you don't do compounding, then `APY = (WPY for week 1) + (WPY for week 2) + ... + (WPY for week 52)`. -- Assuming equal WPY per week, `APY = WPY * 52`. -- For WPY of 0.05, then `APY = 0.005 * 52 = 0.260 = 26.0%`. -- This assumes zero gas fees. This works if you have a large amount of veOCEAN, and therefore large weekly OCEAN rewards, compared to gas fees. If that's not the case, so that gas fees don't destroy your profits, then you should (a) compound less often (b) use gas when it's cheapest, [see here](https://www.useweb3.xyz/gas). - -### Estimating Passive DF APYs - -The [Passive DF page](https://df.oceandao.org/passive-df) estimates profit & APY for you, as you explore different values of # OCEAN, lock time, and number of compounds. It accounts for gas costs. - -You'll find that if # OCEAN is too small or lock time is too short, profit and APY will be <0 because gas fees will overwhelm rewards. Conversely, higher OCEAN locked and longer lock times will make APY larger. - -### Estimating Volume DF APYs - -APY from Volume DF is a bit more complicated and depend on many factors that are currently hard to predict accurately. It is unlikely for the user to get a practical result, which is why we don't offer a tool to estimate this value right now. - -You can easily expand the spreadsheet above to support a basic, naive calculations for Volume DF Rewards such as adding a fixed-rate. - -To help solve this challenge, [we built a dashboard](https://df.oceandao.org/volume-df) that shows historical and ongoing summaries of APY, Data Consume Volume, and veOCEAN allocations per-round. - -

- -Finally, you can [review df-web code](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/df-web/blob/main/src/utils/rewards.js) to understand how the APYs on the UI are calculated. - -### Estimating Predictoor DF APYs - -**Predictoor and staking.** Staking is a fundamental component of Predictoor: when someone makes a prediction, they must have an OCEAN stake amount accompanying that prediction. - -Amount of stake increases potential gain and potential loss. For a given prediction, the more one stakes, the more they earn if they're right; and the more they lose if wrong. Earnings if right are also a function of Predictoor data feed sales revenue. - -Predictoor has staking independent of Data Farming. Therefore, yield comes even without DF. Then, _Predictoor DF_ acts as _extra_ sales revenue for Predictoor data feeds; and yield with Predictoor DF is even higher. - -**Yield for predictoors.** We can apply the yield formula for each prediction: - -`yield = (start amount + gained amount) / (start amount) - 1.0` - -Where in Predictoor and Predictoor DF, values are: -- `start amount` = OCEAN staked in prediction -- `gained amount` = `revenue * stake / (all users stake) - fee` if correct, `stake` if incorrect - -**Be careful!** Yield can be negative if one's stake far exceeds revenue, even with a highly accurate model. But, if one has right-sized stakes and an accurate model, then yield can be quite healthy. - -**Rapid compounding.** In other DF streams, rewards come weekly; so compounding is weekly. In Predictoor and Predictoor DF, a predictoor's revenue (rewards) come every epoch (every 5min or 1h). Therefore compounding in Predictoor could be _very_ fast, for much healthier yields yet. - -**Estimation fidelity.** Since Predictoor is so young, we don't have detailed estimates of Predictoor APYs yet.

See for yourself: in [DF app](https://df.oceandao.org/activerewards) and scroll down to "Data Farming History". - -You can do your own APY estimations.

- -**This page** is about Passive DF, and veOCEAN. There's also a [user guide page](passivedf-guide.md), and a [page for liquid staking](liquid-staking.md). - -# About veOCEAN and Passive DF - -Here, Data Farmers earn OCEAN rewards by locking their OCEAN for veOCEAN for a period of time. That's it! It's low effort, ie passive. - -veOCEAN is non-transferable. You can’t sell it or send it to other addresses. - -**Yield** is gross income minus costs, divided by OCEAN locked up. -- **Gross income** comes from passive DF rewards. This in turn depends on how much veOCEAN you hold compared to others. veOCEAN depends on: - - how much OCEAN you've locked. More OCEAN -> more rewards. - - how long you've locked it for. Longer lock -> more rewards. 4 years for max rewards. - - how recently you've refreshed your locked OCEAN. More recent -> more rewards. -- **Costs** are gas fees for transactions (txs) on Ethereum mainnet (where veOCEAN runs). - - In Passive DF, txs include: locking OCEAN, claiming rewards, and withdrawing rewards. - - Costs should not be under-estimated. If you lock a small amount of OCEAN for a short time, costs may exceed your gross income. - - To compound returns, these txs need to be repeated. The ideal frequency to compound rate is whatever maximizes your yield - which depends on how much OCEAN you've locked, tx fees, etc. - -**APY** is "Annual Percent Yield". Where the [DF app](https://df.oceandao.org) shows APYs, these values are calculated assuming an initial 4-year lock up period with a weekly schedule of compounding rewards into an updated 4-year lock. This estimate works provided current: number of users, reward emissions, and other reward parameters stay constant while excluding all tx fees. See the [APYs](apys.md) page to understand APYs better. - -The rest of this page has details. - -### veOCEAN Time Locking - -The longer you lock OCEAN for, the more veOCEAN you get. You can lock OCEAN for as short as two weeks, and as long as four years. (On the DF dapp [veOCEAN page](https://df.oceandao.org/veocean), "Lock Multiplier" represents the percentage amount of veOCEAN received per OCEAN locked.) - -| Years | Lock Multiplier | veOCEAN | -| ---- | --------------- | ------- | -| 1 | 0.25x | 0.25 | -| 2 | 0.50x | 0.50 | -| 3 | 0.75x | 0.75 | -| 4 | 1.00x | 1.00 | - -veOCEAN cannot be transferred or sold. - -At the end of your 4 years, your OCEAN is unlocked. **You will not be able to retrieve your locked OCEAN until the Lock End Date you selected on the dApp!** - -After the Lock End Date, then you can withdraw your principal OCEAN on the [veOCEAN page](https://df.oceandao.org/veocean) on the left side panel. - -### Linear Decay - -Your veOCEAN balance will slowly start declining as soon as you receive it. - -veOCEAN balance decreases linearly over time until the Lock End Date.

It is merely locked. - -### Replenishing veOCEAN - -To achieve optimal APY, you would want to periodically update your 4-year lock back to 4 years, where there is no veOCEAN decay. - -You can also add more OCEAN to your vault when updating an existing vault. - -### Passive DF Reward Distrubtion - -Passive DF rewards are claimable on the Ethereum mainnet. - -DF rounds are weekly. In line with this, there’s a [`ve`](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/df-py/tree/main/contracts/ve) distribution “epoch” every week. This affects when you can first claim rewards. Specifically, if you lock OCEAN on day x, you’ll be able to claim rewards on the first ve epoch that begins after day x+7. - -Put another way, from the time you lock OCEAN, you must wait at least a week, and up to two weeks, to be able to claim rewards. (This behavior is inherited from veCRV. Here’s the [code](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/df-py/tree/main/contracts/ve)). - - -### Flow of Value - -The image below illustrates the flow of value. On the left, at time 0, the staker locks their OCEAN into the veOCEAN contract, and receives veOCEAN. In the middle, the staker receives OCEAN rewards every time there’s revenue to the Ocean Protocol Community (top), and also as part of Data Farming rewards (bottom). On the right, when the lock expires (e.g. 4 years) then the staker is able to move their OCEAN around again. - -

Flow of Value

- -### Background of veOCEAN Idea - -It's been a long-held goal to reconcile near-term and long-term incentives. This is not an easy task. - -Curve Finance's [veCRV](https://curve.readthedocs.io/dao-fees.html) was one of the first to do a great job at this, and have high usage and liquidity. So, [veOCEAN contracts](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/contracts/tree/main/contracts/ve) use veCRV code. - -### veOCEAN Contract Security - -veOCEAN core contracts have zero changes to veCRV code, on purpose: the veCRV contracts have been battle-tested since inception (2020). Nearly 500 million USD is locked across all forks of veCRV, with the leading DeFi protocols adopting this standard. veCRV contracts [have been audited by Trail of Bits and Quantstamp](https://github.com/curvefi/curve-dao-contracts#audits-and-security). - -We have built [a new contract](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/contracts/blob/main/contracts/ve/veAllocate.sol) for users to allocate their veOCEAN towards data assets. These new contracts do not control the veOCEAN core contracts at all. In the event of a breach, the only funds at risk would be the rewards distributed for a single week; and we would be able to redirect future funds to a different contract. - -We have an [ongoing bug bounty via Immunefi](https://immunefi.com/bounty/oceanprotocol/) for Ocean software, including veOCEAN and DF components.

Bound rewards by asset’s `DCV` \* (% allocation in asset) \* `DCV_multiplier`. - -Step 2.4 is to prevent wash consume. `DCV_multiplier` is a function of fees, with a value of 1.005 for Predictoor feeds, and 0.001 for other data assets. - -Any OCEAN budgeted for Volume DF that wasn’t rewarded goes back into the DF pot for future DF rounds. - -The actual code is in [calcrewards.py](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/df-py/blob/main/df_py/volume/calc_rewards.py) in df-py repo. - -When DF restarts each Thursday, the global allocation towards each asset resets back to zero and then starts counting up again until the end of the round. After allocating your veOCEAN to different datasets, it will take time for your voting power to be accounted for. - - ----- - -_Next: [Volume DF Guide](volumedf-guide.md)_ - -_Back: [Liquid Staking](liquid-staking.md)_ -
