On the heels of the Brave and Origin partnership launch, Origin is excited to announce the addition of eight new partners that have just launched e-commerce stores on the Origin Platform. Origin is excited to work hand-in-hand with our ecosystem of partners and merchants to launch additional applications and storefronts on Dshop, our decentralized e-commerce store creator. We’re equally excited to rapidly improve our technology offering to support new use cases and enable third-parties to launch powerful and customizable commerce applications.

Our new partners chose to launch on Origin because of the unique offerings that Dshop provides: fee-less setup, censorship-resistance, data immutability, built-in crypto payments, and an open-source code base that allows for a high degree of flexibility and customization. Our new partners include:

Kyber : An on-chain liquidity protocol that aggregates liquidity from different sources, enabling decentralized token exchange in any application. Beyond powering their new store, we are proud to have Origin Tokens (OGN) listed on Kyber.

We provide a customizable turnkey solution that specifically includes:

Merchant onboarding

Assistance with store creation

Implementation and/or customization of partner features

Design and marketing oversight

Payment setup via ERC-20 tokens or more traditional payment methods

Dshop technology details

Origin’s open-source Dshop is built using the Ethereum blockchain, IPFS, and PGP. IPFS is a decentralized file storage system that hosts the decentralized application and also stores product data, media, and PGP-encrypted order data with zero tracking cookies or scripts. All content is verified and distributed through a cryptographic hash that gets embedded into the Origin smart contract.

The Ethereum blockchain is used as our payment layer to process orders and manage the escrow process. The payment layer is integrated via a web3 wallet to send or receive any ERC-20 token as payment, but can also record credit card transactions. We will continue to build out our payments feature to include other off-chain payment methods as well as on-chain coins and tokens from other blockchains (e.g. Bitcoin).

“Thanks to Origin’s new, decentralized e-commerce platform, Dshop, we had a swift and easy experience establishing the Contentos online e-commerce store. As we further our partnership, we look forward to introduce this similar experience to our global content creators, assisting them in creating Origin Dshops natively within the Contentos ecosystem and further monetizing their creative content.”

-Jackie Lim , Senior B.D. Director, Contentos

Looking forward

We’ve been impressed and encouraged by the interest we’ve seen from real customers and partners for Dshop. Origin is actively listening to all of our merchant partners and we will continue to build features to help them succeed. This will include the development of new features to support a growing number of use cases, allowing our platform to service a growing number of prospective merchants across a diversified set of verticals.
