# Origin Protocol

> Better Yield, Everywhere

Origin Protocol develops yield-bearing tokens and liquidity management products through audited smart contract infrastructure deployed across multiple blockchain networks.

Origin Protocol builds foundational infrastructure for onchain yield through liquid staking tokens, stablecoins, and automated redemption management. The protocol operates multiple yield-bearing products featuring rebasing mechanics, security audits and integration across DeFi protocols for lending, liquidity provision, and restaking capabilities.

## Products

- [Origin Ether](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): Origin Ether implements liquid staking through distributed validator technology, enabling holders to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. The protocol deploys to lending markets, provides liquidity on decentralized exchanges, and supports restaking for additional yield generation. (Liquid Staking, Live, Main Product)
- [Super OETH](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): Super OETH implements liquid staking combining consensus layer staking rewards with liquidity incentives through Layer 2 deployment. The protocol features rebasing mechanics for automatic yield accrual and integrates with lending markets and decentralized exchanges. (Liquid Staking, Live)
- [Origin Dollar](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): Origin Dollar implements a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by multiple reserve stablecoins deployed across lending vaults and liquidity pools. The protocol features automatic rebasing for continuous yield compounding, with smart contracts managing strategy allocation and reward conversion from lending protocols and AMM trading fees. (Stablecoin Issuer, Live)
- [Origin Sonic](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): Origin Sonic implements liquid staking with priority rewards system granting enhanced point multipliers compared to non-LST assets. The protocol utilizes battle-tested codebase with rebasing mechanics and integrates with decentralized exchanges for liquidity provision. (Liquid Staking, Live)
- [Automated Redemption Manager](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): Automated Redemption Manager implements yield generation through arbitraging liquid staking token pricing differentials via automated redemption mechanisms. The system deploys idle capital to lending markets while executing atomic arbitrage operations across multiple LST protocols. (Yield Aggregator, Live)

## Assets

- [Origin Token (OGN)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): OGN is the governance token of Origin Protocol. It is used to vote on protocol decisions and earn fee revenue from Origin's yield-bearing products. Holders lock their tokens for periods ranging from one month to one year to receive xOGN, with longer commitments earning proportionally higher voting power and reward distribution. (Governance)
- [Origin Ether (OETH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): OETH is a liquid staking token representing staked ETH on the Ethereum network. It is used to earn staking rewards from the Beacon Chain while maintaining liquidity for use in DeFi applications such as lending, collateral, and liquidity provision. The token employs a rebasing mechanism that automatically increases the token balance in holders' wallets to distribute yield, while contracts that hold OETH without rebasing forfeit their rewards to regular holders, amplifying returns for individual users. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [Super OETH (superOETHb)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): superOETHb is a liquid staking token representing staked ETH on the Base network. It is used to earn Ethereum staking yield bridged from the mainnet and additional rewards from Aerodrome liquidity incentives, which are automatically distributed through rebasing. The protocol deploys concentrated liquidity positions on Aerodrome to maintain a tight peg to ETH, allowing holders to redeem superOETHb for WETH at any time while earning AERO incentives that are harvested and compounded back into the token. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [Origin Dollar (OUSD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): OUSD is a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Origin Protocol, backed by USDC. It is used to earn yield automatically through rebasing, which increases each holder's balance directly in their wallet without needing to stake, lock tokens, or manually compound rewards. Smart contracts that do not opt in to earn yield forfeit rewards to normal holders, allowing OUSD held in protocols like Uniswap to generate yield for regular holders while the backing collateral remains deployed. (Stablecoin)
- [Origin Sonic (OS)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/origin_protocol): OS is a liquid staking token representing staked S on the Sonic network. It is used to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity for use in DeFi applications like lending and liquidity provision. The token uses a rebasing mechanism to distribute rewards and allows holders to bypass the standard withdrawal waiting period when vault liquidity is available. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
