Origin Protocol is a sharing economy organization founded in 2017.
History[edit]
Origin Protocol was cofounded in San Francisco in 2017 by Matthew Liu and Joshua Fraser, in order to connect buyers and sellers to transact directly without any intermediaries.[1] Origin received $38 million in early funding, including a $3 million seed round in 2017 that was led by Pantera Capital, a $6.6 million CoinList sale, and $26.4 million in additional funding.[1][2] As of 2018, Origin had been used by 45 organizations to create independent sharing economy applications.[3]
Protocol[edit]
In 2018, Origin launched on the Ethereum Mainnet, as a decentralized marketplace protocol to connect users and providers directly without requiring trusted intermediaries. Users can create marketplaces for their products or services, without the use of a third-party app or company,[1][4] as Origin claims to facilitate the creation of peer-to-peer marketplaces.[5] These are created through Origin's database of offerings and customers distributed to potential users, who can create a marketplace based upon that information without having to interact with a private company.[6]
