Critical updates will be shared via the
Origin Dollar twitter account and re-shared here.
October was another busy month with OUSD receiving an audit from OpenZeppelin. The community also got more involved in governance with new proposals being passed, including a liquidity mining campaign on Curve Finance.

On the NFT side, we now hold the record for highest NFT sale of a food or beverage item at $2.33 million with Metacask auctioning a cask of Macallan 1991 on our creator platform.

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.
