Watch this week's Origin Community Call where we go over development updates, sprint planning, engineering & product discussion, and everything in-between. From OGN to OUSD and even NFTs, these calls are your chance to learn and get involved!

Our next meeting will take place on October 18th at 11:00 AM PDT. Be sure to join our discord at originprotocol.com/discord to participate.
🔬 We have recently asked the team at OpenZeppelin to analyze the smart contracts that power Origin Dollar, including the vault and the yield-generating strategies. We are happy to report that after five weeks they did not find any major issues that could have resulted in a loss of funds for our users!

Security is of the highest importance at Origin. These smart contracts represent the core of OUSD and are also the biggest attack vector for hackers and exploits. In addition to conducting our own internal audits, we have had external audits performed by some of the most reputable firms in the space, including Trail of Bits, Solidified, Certora, and now OpenZeppelin.

A new chapter for Origin’s NFT Launchpad begins now as we turn the page to Origin Story (story.xyz).

Origin Story offers creators many well-thought features and a streamlined, easy user experience that enables both new and experienced creators to sell NFTs to their audiences successfully.

Today, we are one step closer to democratizing NFT creation and sales with the launch of Origin Story. We envision our platform being the place where brands and artists will tell their most authentic stories via the exciting new medium of NFTs.

We're equally excited about how Origin Story will accrue value to OGN holders while incentivizing top creators to be Origin's strongest advocates. We invite all artists, musicians, influencers, athletes, filmmakers, and even casual hobbyists to sign up.

Earn up to 1,161% APY with our new liquidity mining campaign on Curve Finance.

Liquidity providers in the OUSD pool on Curve will be able to earn both CRV and Origin Tokens (OGN). Launching a liquidity mining campaign will help to increase Origin Dollar's circulating supply, making it easier for us to get OUSD listed on centralized exchanges and integrated into other DeFi protocols.

These rewards will be an important tool in increasing the supply, liquidity, and usage of OUSD. Together, these steps will help increase yields and fees for OUSD holders. This directly benefits OGN holders, all the while using tokens equivalent to less than 1% of our weekly trading volume.
