Summary

April was a very strong kickoff for Origin’s Q2 2020. The team has been firing on all cylinders and has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time:

We introduced two products that increase the utility of Origin Tokens (OGN). First, we added Origin Commissions to Dshop, our decentralized e-commerce platform. More recently, we released Origin Deals in Beta, enabling users to lock up OGN to access massive discounts on Amazon.com.

Together with our new partner Brave, we released the Brave merchandise store. Brave is the first marquee partner using the Dshop platform.

OGN was listed on two additional top-tier exchanges, Upbit (Korea’s top exchange) and Bittrex Global.

To combat COVID-19, we scrambled to procure masks for members of our US community. In less than 3 weeks, we’ve distributed thousands of masks to individuals, including many frontline healthcare workers. We are donating 100% of the proceeds to CEPI to help find a vaccine.

Finally, we wanted to point out that OGN’s token release schedule has been modified downwards, with 8.83M fewer tokens circulating in April than projected (33.52M actual vs. 42.35M projected).
