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.

Recently, Insurace.io listed Origin Dollar (OUSD) on their DeFi insurance protocol. To help explain what that means to OUSD holders, we will be hosting a live AMA with their CMO, Dan Thomson. There will also be $250 in INSUR given away to participants. Don't miss it!

🌎 Venue:

The AMA will begin shortly in this channel.
The security of our users' funds is our top priority. Today, we are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with InsurAce to provide reliable, robust, and secure DeFi insurance services to Origin Dollar (OUSD) holders.

By offering DeFi coverage for over 80 tokens, insurace.io is helping to provide easy-to-obtain coverage against smart-contract-based vulnerabilities. Origin Dollar holders now have multiple risk management options from bugs or vulnerabilities in the OUSD contracts in the unlikely event that they would lead to a material loss of funds.

The November Origin Token (OGN) Holder Update is now live.

This month we officially announced Origin Story, kicked off the Origin Dollar (OUSD) liquidity mining campaign at Curve Finance, and saw Convex Finance integrate with the OUSD pool. Read all about it and more!

We are excited to announce that Yearn.Finance, one of the largest aggregators and platforms in DeFi, has launched a vault that integrates the Origin Dollar (OUSD) pool on Curve.

Users can now deposit OUSD-3Crv LP tokens into the Yearn vault and automatically earn and reinvest proceeds from Convex, Curve, and Origin's liquidity mining campaign.

This is yet another important milestone in our quest to drive adoption of OUSD, with TVL exploding from $25MM to more than $200MM in less than a month.

As a reminder, OUSD's explosive growth directly benefits OGN holders. 10% of all yield generated is used to buy back OGN from the open market. We are also exploring additional value accrual mechanisms. Origin's mission focus is to drive value to OGN and we will never stop thinking of better ways to do this.
