❗️Announcement Regarding OGN’s Listing on Harvest.Finance Yesterday, many in the community came together to vote for OGN to be added as a supported token on Harvest (harvest.finance). We won the vote by a landslide. While very grateful for the enthusiasm shown for getting Origin Tokens listed on more DeFi protocols, we want to issue a word of caution that no audit has been conducted on Harvest’s code, neither by the Origin team nor a third-party auditing firm. Please exercise extreme caution when using this or any other DeFi platform.
