wiji is pleased to formally introduce our partnership with Origin Protocol, a San Francisco-based blockchain company build a protocol for the creation of a decentralized sharing economy marketplace using the Ethereum blockchain and IPFS.

Origin Protocol’s platform can be described as the ‘Wordpress’ that empowers developers and businesses to easily build and deploy decentralized marketplaces. By targeting to disrupt large corporations such as Uber, AirBnB and Craigslist that is part of the sharing economy, Origin creates and improves value for other market participants by enabling direct business, peer to peer with ease that transcends borders defined by corporations or governments.
