Unlocking Yield With Pool Booster

Pool Booster is now available for pools paired with Origin’s tokens!

Pool Booster is a new module that enables protocols to effortlessly enhance their liquidity by pairing with Origin’s suite of tokens: OUSD, OETH, Super OETH, and OS. By integrating with AMMs, Pool Booster allows LPs to earn extra yield funded by Origin’s tokens, driving up pool APYs with additional AMM incentives.

This feature expands how Origin’s tokens can be leveraged in liquidity pools, creating new opportunities to use the yield generated by Origin’s rebasing tokens to deepen liquidity on token pairs while offering boosted incentives to liquidity providers.

How Pool Booster Works

Pool Booster operates by leveraging Origin's Yield Forwarding feature, which enables yield to be directed from OETH, OUSD, OS, and Super OETH to approved smart contracts. With Pool Booster, the yield from rebasing tokens like OUSD and OETH is used to fund additional incentives for LPs. When an LP provides liquidity to supported pools, the yield generated by Origin’s tokens in the pool is automatically forwarded to veToken holders in exchange for increased pool incentives.

This process deepens liquidity for token pairs, attracts new participants to Origin’s ecosystem, and enhances the efficiency of liquidity pools on AMMs.

Supported Token Pairs

Pool Booster integrations provide LPs with competitive yield while helping to grow Origin’s total value locked. At launch, Pool Booster supports the following token pairs:

Pool Booster & Origin Token (OGN)

Protocols that wish to integrate Pool Booster can submit a request on the OGN Governance Forum.

OGN stakers are granted the authority to approve and revoke which token pairs can utilize the Pool Booster module, adding a governance aspect that empowers the community to influence the protocol's direction.

Additionally, as more protocols shift liquidity from non-productive WETH and stablecoin pairs to OETH and OUSD pairs, the resulting increase in TVL will drive new protocol revenue. This growth benefits OGN stakers through increased rewards, aligning the growth of Origin’s ecosystem with xOGN.

Looking Forward

Pool Booster will soon expand support to additional AMMs, broadening the reach of this feature across DeFi.

Over the coming weeks, more protocols will begin shifting liquidity to pools that utilize Pool Booster. This migration will not only enhance liquidity depth but also strengthen protocol stability, bolstering activity from liquidity providers. By leveraging Pool Booster, protocols gain a competitive edge in attracting LPs while reducing the cost and complexity of traditional liquidity mining programs.
