Welcome to Origin’s April Token Holder Update! This month, we’re excited to share major developments across our products, integrations, and OGN. From Origin’s upcoming deployment on Plume to our recently hosted event at Mar-a-Lago, April has laid the groundwork for important progress towards Origin’s next phase of adoption.
Let’s dive into what’s new:
In April, Origin hosted a private crypto event at Mar-a-Lago, bringing together prominent DeFi founders and investors from across the industry. The event was organized to build relationships and get closer to policymakers to bridge DeFi builders with decision-makers shaping staking, stablecoin, and DeFi regulation.
Strengthening these connections positions Origin and the broader DeFi community to have a voice in shaping the regulatory landscape around staking and crypto asset management in the United States. We’re thrilled that the new US administration has taken a positive stance towards crypto. The conversation was focused on building in America. Let’s make OGN great again!
Origin is coming to Plume.
Plume is a new blockchain built for RWAs, and Origin will be among the first yield protocols to go live on the network. This marks another step toward our goal of making Origin products accessible across the highest-potential ecosystems in DeFi.
For OGN holders, this deployment strengthens the token’s multi-chain footprint and positions Origin for further integration across Plume’s ecosystem of on-chain funds and real-world asset issuers.
Last month, we shared more information regarding Origin’s Gems allocation from Sonic Labs. These Gems will be distributed to users of Origin Sonic, adding extra upside to those participating in Sonic DeFi. We’ll share more soon about how to qualify.
Yield Forwarding adoption also continues to expand. The beS/wOS pool on SwapX now routes OS yield to LPs, increasing capital efficiency while strengthening liquidity. Behind the scenes, we’ve also begun development on new use cases for Yield Forwarding—this time, to create more lucrative opportunities in lending markets.
Here’s how Origin’s products performed in April:
Origin assets were integrated into multiple protocols this month, bringing new utility and higher rewards for LPs and DeFi users:
A reminder that the OGV → OGN token migration ends May 27th. If you haven’t migrated yet, you can do so in a few clicks on the Origin Dapp.
Origin is in the early stages of designing a new staking model that will tie protocol revenue more closely to OGN stakers. We look forward to sharing proposals for community feedback as development progresses.
Lastly, we’ve launched a new Token Terminal dashboard for Origin that tracks product performance and protocol-level revenue. This data is now available to analysts, reporters, and the broader DeFi community via partners like Messari and CoinDesk.
That wraps up the April update! Origin’s product suite continues to grow across chains, and OGN remains at the center of it — serving as the value accrual token for a protocol that is scaling real yield across multiple networks.
