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:
t.me/OriginProtocol
11:00 AM EST
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.

Origin Dollar (OUSD) has been integrated with Chainlink Keepers, a decentralized smart contract automation solution that triggers functions based on predefined conditions.

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.

🎨 Origin will be hosting its first-ever NFT exhibition titled ‘The Metaverse Is Yours’ this Saturday during Art Basel 2021 in Miami, Florida.

With NFTs and the Metaverse at the intersection of art and culture, Art Basel is the perfect place to showcase Origin Story and the talented creators using it. Joining us to exhibit their art and launch a live drop is a list of some of the most recognizable and accomplished names in the space: Ali Sabet, TedsLittleDream, Orbseer, Lost Boi, Subtractive and Dr. Sian Proctor, NINOCENSE, and Alex Alpert.

This Saturday’s exhibition is an important step forward in our efforts to democratize access to NFTs and bring the Metaverse to the mainstream. In doing so, we aim to raise awareness among key demographics of both Origin Story, and Origin Tokens (OGN) as the best way to gain exposure to the rapid growth of the NFT industry and the Origin ecosystem.

We are pleased to announce that the popular DeFi yield aggregator, APY Finance, has integrated the OUSD-3crv pool. This comes as a result of an unanimous vote by the community of APY token holders.

Origin believes that composability and automation through smart contracts will lead to DeFi taking market share from much of traditional finance. Origin Dollar (OUSD) is one of the best examples of a smart, automated DeFi product that offers vast advantages over its traditional finance analogs.
