Introduction to OGN

Introduction to Origin Token (OGN)

Origin Token (OGN) is the core value accrual and governance token of Origin Protocol. It aligns long-term stakeholders with the performance of Origin’s products, including OETH, Super OETH, OUSD, OS, and the Automated Redemption Manager (ARM).

At the DAO level, OGN is used to govern protocol parameters, prioritize new products, and allocate DAO assets. OGN stakers (xOGN) govern key decisions such as fee configurations, major product upgrades, and how protocol-controlled value is deployed across Origin’s ecosystem.

When staked, OGN becomes xOGN, a locked governance position that also participates in protocol earnings. As Origin products generate fees from yield generated, those earnings are routed back to OGN stakers through ongoing buybacks and distributions to xOGN. This creates a direct link between product usage, protocol revenue, and the economic rights of long-term token holders.

In short, OGN represents ownership in the protocol’s decision-making and exposure to the fee streams generated by Origin’s suite of yield-focused products. Metrics such as protocol revenue, OGN buybacks, and staking rates are publicly available on our website.

Origin Token (OGN) is available on Ethereum Mainnet and Base, as well as all leading centralized exchanges.
