We are happy to announce that Origin Protocol has joined the Crowdholding platform and have launched their project page.

Origin is an open-source platform that enables the creation of decentralized, peer-to-peer market- places. The Origin Platform initially targets the global sharing economy, allowing buyers and sellers of fractional use goods and services (car-sharing, service-based tasks, home-sharing, etc.) to transact on the distributed, open web. Using the Ethereum blockchain and Interplanetary File System (IPFS), the platform and its community participants are decentralised, allowing for the creation and booking of services and goods without traditional intermediaries.

They intend to create a large-scale commerce network that:

Transfers direct financial value (listing, transaction, and service fees) from large corporations like Airbnb, Craigslist, Postmates, etc. to individual buyers and sellers

Transfers indirect financial and strategic value (privately aggregated silos of customer and transaction data) from those same corporations to the entire ecosystem

Creates new financial value for marketplace participants that contribute to the growth of the network (e.g. building new technology for the Origin Platform, bootstrapping new product verticals, and referring new users and businesses)

Is built on an open, distributed, and shared data layer to promote transparency and collaboration

Immediately allows buyers and sellers across the world to do business with each other without difficult currency conversions or tariffs

Promotes personal liberty by not allowing a central corporation or government to impose arbitrary and oftentimes onerous rules on how to do business
