An update for Ocean Market: weights are changed from 90% datatoken - 10% OCEAN, to 50% - 50%.

While publishers must supply more OCEAN liquidity for the same initial price, this aligns them better with other stakers in terms of initial OCEAN skin-in-the-game.

Ocean Market update:

To help user safety, before you stake there's now a banner that points to:

-Risks. Links to info on IL and rug pulls.

-Terms. Short & sweet, identifies that you're responsible for your funds.

And, you must approve with "I understand"

The pool's liquidity stats have a new section, that focuses on the pool creator (publisher). Will help to assess risk.

Less than 1 week running and Ocean Market has over 160 datasets with +450K OCEAN pooled.
