Introducing Treasury Booster by Origin Protocol

Treasury Booster: Pair With OS, Earn a New Source of Protocol Revenue

Treasury Booster is now live across Ethereum Mainnet, Sonic, and Base!

AMMs hold billions of dollars in liquidity, but those funds could be working harder. Due to how most AMMs are structured, yield-bearing tokens like OETH and OS don’t earn staking yield while held in smart contracts. Treasury Booster changes this by unlocking staking yield and directing it to a protocol’s treasury.

Now available on Sonic (OS), Ethereum Mainnet (OETH & OUSD), and Base (superOETHb), Treasury Booster allows protocols to pair with Origin’s yield-bearing tokens and capture the yield that would otherwise not be earned by LPs in the pool.

Unlocking Staking Yield In AMMs With Treasury Booster

When a protocol integrates Treasury Booster, the yield generated by Origin’s tokens in liquidity pools is forwarded to an approved wallet or contract address. These funds can then be utilized for a variety of treasury operations, including:

  • Token buybacks to support the project’s token
  • Seeding new markets to enhance token utility and adoption
  • Liquidity incentives to attract and retain LPs

This setup ensures that protocol treasuries gain an additional revenue stream while still maintaining deep liquidity in their pools. Here is an example of how EGGS uses Treasury Booster to fund liquidity incentives with OS yield on SwapX: 

How to Integrate Treasury Booster

Getting started with Treasury Booster is simple:

  • Pair with an Origin asset: Protocols must create a liquidity pool with OS, OETH, OUSD, or superOETHb.
  • Submit an OGN governance proposal: To enable Yield Forwarding, an OGN DAO proposal must be approved, specifying the recipient contract that will receive the forwarded yield.

Once approved, the yield generated in the liquidity pool will automatically flow to the designated treasury address, turning previously idle liquidity into a productive asset.

Looking Ahead

Treasury Booster is a game-changer for DAOs and DeFi protocols looking to make their liquidity work harder. By capturing staking yield from funds held in AMMs, protocols can generate sustainable revenue without creating additional sell pressure or requiring new token emissions.

More integrations are on the way as protocols recognize the benefits of shifting liquidity to Yield Forwarding pools. Interested in setting up Treasury Booster for your protocol? Submit a proposal to the OGN DAO or get in touch with the team on Discord.
