## What OGN-USD Is

OGN is the governance and value-accrual token of **Origin Protocol**, an open-source Ethereum-based (ERC-20) platform that builds decentralized DeFi primitives — most notably the **OUSD** stablecoin, **OETH** (Ethereum staking token), and an automated yield aggregator. It is a crypto token, not a listed company or security: there are no filings, earnings, or share fundamentals. The "-USD" in OGN-USD is simply the quote currency (OGN priced in US dollars) [[3]](https://www.marketbeat.com/cryptocurrencies/origin-protocol/)[[6]](https://thedailycoins.io/coins/origin-protocol/)[[8]](https://opensea.io/token/ogn). OGN's value proposition is tied to a revenue-share model and staking governance (xOGN) [[4]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/origin-protocol/price-prediction/)[[8]](https://opensea.io/token/ogn).

Note that several metrics reported by data providers are **internally inconsistent and/or flagged as self-reported/unverified**, so I flag these discrepancies below rather than presenting a single figure as authoritative.
