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.

📰 10월은 OUSD가 오픈 제플린(OpenZeppelin)으로부터 감사를 받으면서 또 다른 바쁜 달이었습니다. 커뮤니티는 또한 커브 파이낸스에 대한 유동성 채굴 캠페인을 포함하여 새로운 제안이 통과됨에 따라 거버넌스에 더욱 관여하게 되었습니다. NFT 사업 쪽에서는 메타카스크(Metacask)가 맥칼란 1991년 한 통을 크리에이터 플랫폼에 경매하면서 233만 달러에 음식 또는 음료 품목의 NFT 최고 판매 기록을 보유하게 되었습니다. 보다 자세한 내용은 블로그 포스팅을 통해 확인해주세요. 🇰🇷https://blog.naver.com/originprotocol/222556372732 🇺🇸https://blog.originprotocol.com/october-2021-origin-token-ogn-holder-update-fedfff01d83c

October was another busy month with OUSD receiving an audit from OpenZeppelin. The community also got more involved in governance with new proposals being passed, including a liquidity mining campaign on Curve Finance.
