Traders can win prizes, NFTs, and OGN by participating in the competition until July 8th. 3️⃣ Origin Story also added new features to its marketplaces, such as collection-wide and per-trait offers, floor sweep, and optional royalties. 4️⃣ OGV stakers gained new governance rights over OETH, allowing them to vote on protocol parameters and treasury management. OGV staking also locked over 80% of OGV in circulation, earning up to 52% variable APY for stakers. 5️⃣ OGN staking locked over 66.7 million OGN in season 3, accounting for about 13% of the circulating supply. Season 4 pre-staking is open now, so don’t miss this opportunity to earn more rewards. 6️⃣ Origin Dollar (OUSD) maintained a stable 4.5% APY, with most of its collateral held in USDT and allocated to the Morpho strategy.

🚀🎉 PRODUCT LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT 🚀 💥 TL;DR: We're thrilled to introduce Origin Ether (OETH), our brand new Ethereum yield aggregator, now LIVE on Ethereum mainnet! OETH optimizes yield between liquid staking derivatives and ether liquidity provision on leading AMMs. All this while benefiting from the same yield boost mechanics we developed for Origin Dollar. OGV holders get to shape OETH's future. Let's grow together! For more details, read on... 💥 Full Announcement: Introducing OETH: OETH is a new-age yield aggregator designed for Ethereum. It smartly optimizes yield between liquid staking derivatives and ether liquidity provision on leading AMMs. It benefits from the same yield boost mechanic that Origin Dollar invented, providing top of the market APYs on ether. Why OETH: With the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade on the horizon, we're anticipating more liquid staking derivative opportunities. OETH is poised to deliver top market APYs on ether, thanks to our robust smart contracts and innovative yield aggregation techniques initially employed through Origin Dollar. OETH and the Ecosystem: Just like Origin Dollar, OETH is fully backed, liquid at all times, and grows directly in your wallet without needing to pay gas fees. Origin Dollar Governance (OGV) functions as the value-accrual and governance token for OETH. OGV stakers can vote on collateral allocations, future yield-strategies, and fees for OETH holders. How It Works: The Origin Ether vault accepts WETH, stETH, rETH, and frxETH. The collateral is then optimized between validator rewards and ether liquidity provision on leading AMMs. The OETH token is fully liquid at all times, and holders can redeem Origin Ether for its underlying collateral through the OETH dapp at any time. Our Goals for Origin Ether: We aim to simplify DeFi while providing best-in-class yields for holders. Thanks to OETH rebasing, holders simply need to hold the token to earn yield––there's no need to claim rewards or pay gas fees to unstake. We are excited for this journey and invite all of you to participate in the growth of OETH. For more information, visit [Insert Link to Full Announcement]. Let's make DeFi simpler and more rewarding together!

🔥 Have you staked your OGN yet to get in on all the action of Origin Story? This usually allows you to snag a slice of the platform fees—yep, a whopping 100%! 💯 This season, we’re taking a bit of a different approach after two proposals passed, one to pause Origin Story platform fees and reduce them to 0% for a limited time (until June 1st, traders can enjoy major savings on fees while creator royalties remain honored) and another to ensure stakers continue to receive significant rewards by adding 500k OGN from the Origin Foundation to the staking pool. Season 3 is still here, with the opportunity to earn some delicious ETH rewards. Want to get your hands on them?
