Guide to Passive DF
Get your gold. Get your veOCEAN.
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!
Don't have OCEAN yet? Get those first!
Step 1 - Get OCEAN
- Acquire OCEAN via a decentralized exchange (DEX) such as Uniswap or a centralized exchange (CEX) such as Binance, Coinbase, etc.
Step 2 - Send to your self-custody wallet
- Send your OCEAN to a self-custody wallet of yours that supports ERC-20 tokens, like Metamask for example.
