Introducing the most significant upgrade to the OUSD DApp since it launched last year. Now ousd.com compares the price of buying Origin Dollar from decentralized exchanges versus minting it from the Origin Vault!
The DApp currently works with multiple smart contracts that are able to swap between OUSD and the 3 major stablecoins (USDT, USDC and DAI):
โ Origin Vault: the primary contract for minting and redeeming OUSD.
โ OUSD Swap: a simple 1:1 coin swap contract that is provided by Origin to offer gas-optimized trading of OUSD. While limited in both functionality and liquidity, this simple contract uses about 45% less gas than Uniswap.
โ Uniswap V3: an ideal option for stablecoin swaps due to its low fees and concentrated liquidity.
