veOCEAN is a 'voting escrowed' token used in Ocean Protocol's Data Farming dapp to **generate passive and active OCEAN token rewards**. [Data Farming](https://df.oceandao.org) is our dapp to incentivize the publishing and curation of high quality assets on the [Ocean Market](https://market.oceanprotocol.com).

|
||
* Accept the transaction in your wallet.
