Happy Friday! Here’s what happened at Origin this week:

😏 Origin joined Layer 3’s Sonic Rush Campaign. Use Origin Sonic on Pendle to lock in fixed APY with PT-wOS and earn additional rewards via Layer 3’s campaign. Learn more here.

👀 Origin Dollar (OUSD) added an AMO to the OUSD/USDC pool. The Curve AMO brings deeper liquidity to Curve while supplementing Origin Dollar’s yield with ~2x higher capital efficiency.

🎙 Origin hosted a Spaces with Sonic Labs, Euler, and Beefy Finance yesterday. We talked with OG Ethereum protocols about their experience building on Sonic, Sonic Points, and DeFi strategies to get the most out of your OS. Tune into the recording here.

📰 Safura announced coverage for Origin Sonic (OS) as part of the insurance protocol’s launch. Learn more about Safura and try their testnet here.

Have a great weekend!

RWAs meet supercharged liquid staking 👋🪶

Super OETH is coming to Plume, a leading RWAfi chain that will open to the public in the coming weeks.

Today, Plume Alpha released to capital partners. Origin is working with Plume's capital partners to bring deep liquidity and TVL to Super OETH from day one.

Super OETH on Plume (superOETHp) will accrue value back to OGN stakers and the OGN DAO.

🫡 New Forum Proposal: Allocate 100% of Protocol Revenue to OGN Buybacks for xOGN

View the proposal: https://governance.originprotocol.com/t/allocate-100-of-protocol-revenue-to-ogn-buybacks-for-xogn-distribution/157

💰 Every dollar of protocol revenue will now flow into $OGN.

The new upgrade ensures that revenue from OETH, Super OETH, OUSD, OS, and the ARM is used exclusively for OGN buybacks.

This is value capture in its clearest form: https://www.originprotocol.com/ogn-buyback-upgrades

🎉 Happy Friday! Some updates regarding OGN and Origin products from this week, ICYMI:

💰 OGN Buybacks: A proposal to buy back over $3 million of OGN using DAO assets has passed governance. Buybacks begin by July 4th, 2025, and OGN acquired through buybacks will be distributed to OGN stakers through Q2 2026. In the first 90 days of the buyback program, OGN will see over $1M of new buy pressure.

✅ SQUILL Airdrop: OGN stakers who participated in governance are eligible for the SQUILL airdrop. Your allocation can be used to vote for OGN to be added to the OpenStable index. If you’re eligible for the airdrop, help OGN get added to the OpenStable index by voting on the upcoming proposal.

😏 Origin Sonic Looping Opportunity: A new Silo market was deployed for PT-wOS. Lock in fixed APY on Pendle by acquiring PT-wOS and loop it on Silo for up to 12.5x exposure.

👋 Super OETH on Plume: We’ve shared more information regarding Super OETH on Plume. There’s deep liquidity available on Rooster Protocol, Plume’s official DEX. In the coming weeks, Rooster will begin streaming incentives, Super OETH will add AMO support, and yield is expected to increase as the strategy becomes operational.

That’s all for this week – we’re looking forward to rewarding OGN holders and stakers with the new OGN buyback program. As a reminder, 100% of protocol revenue will be used for OGN buybacks alongside $3M+ in DAO assets. Big things are coming!

📰 Updates on OGN and Origin Products from this week:

🫡 The new OGN buyback program that will bring $4.5M+ of new buy pressure to OGN will start within the next two weeks. We will announce the exact date for OGN buybacks next week, alongside a larger marketing campaign to spread the word about OGN buybacks. If you’re here, you’re early.

👋 Super OETH on Base has landed on Compound! With max looped APY above 30%, wsuperOETHb on Compound presents one of the best ETH yield opportunities on Base. View our announcement and check out the market here.

💰 In case you missed it, the OGN DAO passed two proposals regarding OGN. The OGN DAO is allocating $3M+ in assets to OGN buybacks, which will start within the next two weeks. Alongside these buybacks, 100% of protocol revenue will be used for additional buybacks starting at the same time. Stake OGN to prepare yourself for heightened rewards.

That’s all from this week – have a great weekend!

🙂 OGN Buybacks have begun!

Follow OGN_Alerts on X to follow the progress in real time. There will be ~100 buybacks happening throughout the week, adding constant buy pressure to OGN. Buys will continue every week and will be used to fund xOGN rewards: https://x.com/OriginProtocol/status/1939767367032012819

Huge week for crypto as BTC reaches all-time highs! Here’s what happened at Origin this week, ICYMI:

💰 The protocol bought back over 1.1M OGN, with staking rewards exceeding 30% with no new token emissions. Stay tuned for a big announcement on Monday – let’s just say we’re ready to hit the gas on buybacks. 👀

👻 Summer.fi integrated OETH in its Lazy Summer ETH Vault, minting over $10 million of OETH to earn for its users. Since 100% of protocol revenue generated by OETH (and all Origin products) are used to buy back OGN, this is a big win for xOGN holders.

🙂 OGN was successfully added to the OpenStable Index, giving investors broad exposure to DeFi. The index includes assets like CRV, FRX, RSR, and AAVE… and OGN has the largest allocation at over 17%.

🦾 😏 The ARM S Vault officially launched on Sonic, bringing a new revenue stream to OGN. The vault operates similarly to the ARM ETH Vault, with added yield optimizations that route idle liquidity to Silo Finance.

It’s been a big week for the industry, and an even bigger week for Origin! Stay tuned as we release more news on OGN buybacks next Monday
