Liu, best known for its yield-bearing stablecoin Origin Dollar (OUSD) and Origin Ether (OETH). In November 2020, before completing any security audit, OUSD was exploited via a reentrancy flash-loan attack resulting in approximately $7.7 million in losses including over $1 million from the team's own treasury. The protocol subsequently completed multiple audits, compensated affected users, and relaunched; it has continued operating with expanded DeFi yield products through 2025, though the OGN token trades at a fraction of its 2021 all-time high.","timeline":[{"date":"2017-01-01","event":"Origin Protocol founded in San Francisco by Josh Fraser and Matthew Liu.","source":""},{"date":"2018-06-18","event":"Origin Protocol conducts public ICO on CoinList, raising $6.6 million at $0.1364 per OGN token.","source":""},{"date":"2020-09-01","event":"Origin Dollar (OUSD) yield-bearing stablecoin launches on Ethereum mainnet without a completed security audit.","source":""},{"date":"2020-11-17","event":"OUSD exploited via reentrancy flash-loan attack; approximately $7.7 million (11,804 ETH and 2,249,821 DAI) stolen.
