Origin Protocol enables blockchain-powered commerce. The company has built the Origin Platform that currently powers dozens of e-commerce and marketplace applications. Origin’s goal is to enable true peer-to-peer commerce by disintermediating traditional middlemen like Shopify, Amazon, Airbnb, and others. In the process Origin reduces/removes fees, promotes free and open commerce, ensures all ecosystem participants get stakes in the network, and reduces platform risk for developers and merchants. Origin has released several in-house products built on top of the Platform, including the Dshop decentralized e-commerce platform (www.originprotocol.com/dshop), Origin Deals (www.origindeals.com), and the Origin Marketplace DApp (www.shoporigin.com). Partners and merchants building on top of Origin’s technology include Brave, Solana, Contentos, Kyber, Trips Community, and many others. Origin is a featured developer on the Samsung Galaxy phone. The Origin Token, OGN, is a multi-purpose token created to fuel the growth of the Origin network. OGN enables an affiliate/advertising platform, incentivizes end-users to use and share the platform, unlocks e-commerce rewards when locked up, and transfers value between buyers and sellers as a payment token. In addition, OGN will be used for on-chain governance purposes in the future.
