Data Farming DF19 Completed, DF20 Started
Stakers can claim DF19 rewards. DF20 runs Jan 12–19, 2023.
1. Overview
The Ocean Data Farming program incentivizes the growth of data consume volume in the Ocean ecosystem. It rewards OCEAN for stakers who allocate liquidity to curate data asset with high data consume volume (DCV).
To participate, users lock OCEAN to receive veOCEAN, then allocate veOCEAN to promising data assets (data NFTs) via the DF webapp.
DF Round 19 (DF19) is part of DF Beta. DF19 counting started 12:01am Jan 5, 2022 and ended 12:01am Jan 12, 2023. 75K OCEAN worth of rewards were available. LPs can now claim rewards at the DF webapp Claim Portal.
DF20 is part of DF Beta. Counting started 12:01am Jan 12, 2023.
The rest of this post describes how to claim rewards (section 2), and DF20 overview (section 3).
2. How To Claim Rewards
As an LP (staker), here’s how to claim rewards:
- Go to DF webapp Claim Portal
- Connect your wallet
- Rewards are distributed on Ethereum mainnet. Click “Claim”, sign the tx, and collect your rewards
Rewards will accumulate over weeks so you can claim rewards at your leisure. If you claim weekly, you can re-stake your rewards for compound gains.

3. DF20 Overview
DF20 is part of DF Beta. DF Beta’s aim is to test the effect of larger incentives, learn, and refine the technology. DF Beta may run 10–20 weeks. In any given week of DF Beta, the total budget may be as low as 10K $OCEAN or as high as 100K $OCEAN
Some key numbers:
- Total budget is 75,000 $OCEAN. (This is an increase from 50,000 $OCEAN in DF18).
- 50% of the budget goes to passive rewards (37,500 $OCEAN) — rewarding users who hold veOCEAN (locked OCEAN)
- 50% of the budget goes to active rewards (37,500 $OCEAN) — rewarding users who allocate their veOCEAN towards productive datasets (having DCV).
- Ocean currently supports five production networks: Ethereum Mainnet, Polygon, BSC, EWC, and Moonriver. DF applies to data on all of them.
As usual, the Ocean core team reserves the right to update the DF rewards function and parameters, based on observing behaviour. Updates are always announced at the beginning of a round, if not sooner.
Conclusion
DF19 has completed. To claim rewards, go to DF webapp Claim Portal.
DF20 begins Jan 12, 2023 at 12:01am. It ends Jan 19, 2023 at 12:01am.
