The utility token of the Origin Protocol runs on the Ethereum blockchain and is ERC-20 compliant. OGN can get stored in any wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens. The protocol also uses the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) to secure peer-to-peer data transfers and ensure data integrity.
In addition, you can use Origin tokens (OGN) you earn in Origin Rewards to pay for goods and services. Sellers can earn larger stakes in the network by accepting OGN as a preferred payment method.
Also, users can earn Origin Tokens (OGN) by verifying their profiles, referring friends and family to Origin, sharing Origin-related news on social media, and shopping from featured vendors.
The Origin Platform consists of smart contracts at the protocol layer, intermediary APIs that enable on-premises and third-party application creation, and the application/UX layer where the end-user interface can trade over the network. The platform has a design to be modular; Origin encourages other developers, e-commerce merchants, and marketplace operators to build their apps for a variety of business use cases.
