DF86 Completes and DF87 Launches
Predictoor DF86 rewards available. Passive DF & Volume DF will be retired; airdrop pending. DF87 runs Apr 25— May 2, 2024
1. Overview
Data Farming (DF) is Ocean’s incentives program. In DF, you can earn OCEAN rewards by locking OCEAN, curating data, and making predictions via Predictoor.
Ocean Protocol is joining with Fetch and SingularityNET to form the Superintelligence Alliance, with a unified token $ASI. This Mar 27, 2024 article describes the key mechanisms. This merge was pending a “yes” vote from the Fetch and SingularityNET communities. As of Apr 16, 2024: it was a “yes” from both; therefore the merge is happening.
The merge has important implications for veOCEAN and Data Farming. veOCEAN will be retired. Passive DF & Volume DF rewards have stopped, and will be retired. Each address holding veOCEAN will be airdropped OCEAN in the amount of: (1.25^years_til_unlock-1) * num_OCEAN_locked. This airdrop will happen within weeks after the “yes” vote. The value num_OCEAN_locked is a snapshot of OCEAN locked & veOCEAN balances as of 00:00 am UTC Wed Mar 27 (Ethereum block 19522003). The article “Superintelligence Alliance Updates to Data Farming and veOCEAN” elaborates.
Data Farming Round 86 (DF86) has completed. Passive DF & Volume DF rewards are stopped, and will be retired. Predictoor DF claims run continuously.
DF87 is live today, April 25. It concludes on May 2. For this DF round, Predictoor DF has 37,500 OCEAN rewards and 20,000 ROSE rewards.
