# Origin Token (OGN) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/ogn.html

## Definition
Origin Protocol is a decentralized platform for building peer-to-peer marketplaces, aiming to let buyers and sellers transact without intermediaries (positioned as open-source infrastructure for the sharing economy). Its official whitepaper defines open-source protocols and standards for marketplace functions like user identity, reputation, listing creation, and transaction stages.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
OGN is the governance and value-accrual token of Origin Protocol, a DeFi project whose products include Origin Dollar (OUSD), Origin Ether (OETH), and the Automated Redemption Manager (ARM) liquidity hub. Staked as xOGN, holders vote on collateral allocations, strategy parameters, and protocol upgrades (100,000 xOGN proposal threshold, 20% quorum, 2-day timelock). A DAO-approved 2024 merger absorbed OGV into OGN, concentrating protocol revenue accrual (from OETH and OUSD) in OGN; the OGV-to-OGN migration closed May 27, 2025. OGN confers governance and revenue-accrual rights, not title to collateral.

## Verification verdict
Class A (Class A) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2 VERIFIED · q3 VERIFIED · q4 VERIFIED · q5 VERIFIED

## Plain-language utility
Governance token for Origin Protocol — holders vote on protocol decisions.

## Key risks & notes
Status: no_whitepaper_found — an official Origin whitepaper exists (hosted via docs.originprotocol.com and mirrored on aggregators) but could not be fetched during this session; summary grounded in whitepaper excerpts and official documentation. Risks: NFT marketplace competition forced fee cuts that hurt OGN staker revenue; small market cap and thin liquidity; token value depends on marketplace adoption that has been slow.
