Origin's mission is to bring NFTs and DeFi to the masses. Origin's flagship products are the NFT platform Origin Story and Origin Dollar (OUSD). Origin Story provides a platform for creators to sell their NFTs. Creators can create Origin accounts, upload audio and visual assets for their NFTs, create customized websites and schedule NFT sales with a variety of sale formats, such as 1 of 1 auctions, leaderboard auctions, open editions, limited editions and more. Origin Story seeks to democratize NFT creation and sales. Initially, Origin's goal was to create a shared economy marketplace that would offer buyers and sellers control over their data and drastically reduce transaction fees. After years of exploration, however, Origin changed its goal.
