Frequently asked questions
What is ORIGYN Foundation and how is it different from other crypto projects?
ORIGYN is a nonprofit foundation focused on certifying ownership and authenticity of real-world assets using blockchain technology. Unlike many tokens that exist purely for speculation, OGY has a specific use case: creating tamper-proof digital identities for physical items. It runs on the Internet Computer blockchain, which gives it fast transactions and low fees compared to older networks.
How does the ORIGYN technology work?
ORIGYN uses biometric-style identification technology to capture the unique characteristics of a physical item, such as a watch or a gold bar, and links them to a digital certificate on the Internet Computer blockchain. This certificate proves authenticity and ownership without needing a trusted middleman. The network itself relies on chain-key cryptography and a consensus mechanism of the Internet Computer rather than traditional mining.
How is OGY token issuance structured?
OGY has a fixed hard cap of 10,620,470,496 coins, meaning no more tokens can ever be created beyond this limit. This capped supply is written into the token's code and cannot be changed unilaterally. Tokens are distributed through allocations to the foundation, ecosystem development, and community incentives rather than through mining.
How can I store and use OGY tokens?
Since OGY is an Internet Computer token, you can store it in wallets that support the IC network, such as a Plug or similar IC-compatible wallet. Holding OGY lets you participate in the governance of the ORIGYN ecosystem through voting on proposals. Always verify you're using official wallet addresses and sources, as fake tokens with similar names are a common scam tactic.
