What is veOCEAN and why do you want it? 🌊
In order to gain yield Data Farming, you will need to lock your OCEAN tokens first! When you lock your OCEAN tokens, you get veOCEAN tokens 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 tokens to your favorite assets and get a portion of their sales!
