We’re excited to announce the launch of Origin Sonic (OS), Origin Protocol's newest LST designed to unlock the full potential of liquid staking on Sonic.
Leveraging the proven codebase of Origin Ether (OETH), OS combines battle-tested technology with innovative yield mechanics to deliver the best liquid staking experience. On top of staking rewards, OS holders earn a 4x multiplier on Sonic points – the key rewards mechanism used to distribute 190M S tokens, worth $110M at the time of writing.
Our goal for Origin Sonic is to provide the most efficient way to engage with the Sonic ecosystem while maximizing both staking yield and S points on Sonic.
Sonic is rapidly emerging as a DeFi powerhouse, driven by robust incentives and a growing array of protocols. However, unlocking the full potential of Sonic requires solutions that offer deep liquidity, competitive yield, and optionality to earn in DeFi.
Origin Protocol is uniquely positioned to deliver this solution, leveraging our established reputation, battle-tested codebase, and experience building successful yield products on Ethereum mainnet and layer 2s.
Not only does OS offer the easiest way to earn yield on S, but it will soon integrate with Origin's AMO technology to ensure the deepest liquidity and maximum yield for holders. Additionally, users will be able to earn Sonic points by holding OS and using it in DeFi, a critical component of the network’s rewards system that will distribute 190M S tokens in 2025.
The launch of OS marks the beginning of a phased rollout. In its initial phase, OS functions as a standard LST, offering users the ability to earn yield through Sonic validator rewards.
In the next phase, we’ll introduce our AMO technology to OS. By providing deep liquidity on Sonic’s top protocols, the AMO will help maintain a tight OS-S peg, reduce trading costs, and further enhance yield for holders. This phased approach ensures that OS grows sustainably while delivering immediate and long-term value to users.
OS supports Yield Forwarding, a powerful feature that directs a portion of staking rewards to protocols that integrate with OS. We anticipate that several projects will implement this feature in the coming months, strengthening Origin Sonic’s presence within the Sonic ecosystem.
The primary liquidity pool for OS is on SwapX. Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue to expand OS’s utility through additional integrations across the Sonic ecosystem. We aim to increase the amount of ways users can earn Sonic points with OS, create new paths for leveraged staking, and secure partners for OS Yield Forwarding.
Like all of Origin’s offerings, OS will accrue value to the OGN DAO. Protocol revenue will be routed to the OGN DAO in the form of WETH, increasing the value controlled by OGN stakers and strengthening Origin Token’s positioning in DeFi. OGN stakers can vote on how to utilize these funds, whether through OGN buybacks, token burns, or strategic initiatives aimed at scaling Origin’s products.
Sonic is quickly becoming a hub for DeFi innovation, offering users the chance to engage with a growing ecosystem and get rewarded. Origin’s expansion to Sonic reflects our commitment to building open financial products for the masses, and we invite you to be part of our journey.
