Introducing Origin Protocol, The First Stablecoin That Earns a Yield

Blockchain-powered commerce project Origin Protocol has created the OGN token (nicknamed the “Origin Dollar”) which can be staked to earn up to a 25% yield.

Using the OUSD platform you can select from 3 options OGN staking options, which you will be able to claim your OGN principal plus interest at the end of the staking period.

1. 30 days lock-up earning 7.5% APY
2. 90 days lock-up earning 12.5% APY
3. 365 days lock-up earning 25% APY

In order to participate you need to use a DeFi wallet to connect and deposit your funds which will then be secured using an Ethereum smart contract. See the OGN token details which include supply and unlock schedule. Yield-generating DeFi products are brand-new and you should read the risks involved before participating.
