Origin Protocol is building protocols for the decentralized sharing economy. We believe that monopolistic middlemen have no place in peer-to-peer marketplaces. We want to build open, fair, and censorship resistant technologies that allow people to do business with whomever they want without the permission of corporate rulers. Blockchain technology will have a profound impact on the global economy from how companies are started to how markets are organized.

Our global community of engineers are collaborating on the creation of our JavaScript library and a smart contract library. We do all of this open source development in public. Please join our Discord if you want to be part of these efforts. Our ultimate goal is to empower anyone to easily build marketplace DApps. We have a fully decentralized live demo up on testnet as a proof of concept and a starting point for others to build on.

Over thirty projects have committed to building on our platform. We are pleased to announce that Blocklancer will be building their freelancing marketplace DApp on Origin Protocol. Blocklancer is building what they call a Distributed Autonomous Job Marketplace (DAJ) on the blockchain. Blocklancer is changing the way freelancing works for both the freelancer and the customer, concentrating on building a trustworthy platform all stakeholders can rely on. Blocklancer does this by minimizing fees and introducing a decentralized tribunal system to guarantee every dispute case is settled fairly. We are happy to help them achieve their vision of a fair and efficient jobs marketplace.

The Origin team has been aware of Blocklancer for a while now. They were one of the first companies we wanted to bring on as partners when I first started at Origin. We saw that they had a great team and were very focused on building a working platform even before they started marketing efforts. They recently completed a successful token sale and we are excited to begin the real work of development and product building with them.
