Minor commissions

Centralized brokers typically charge 20-30% in transaction fees to use their marketplace. Airbnb and Uber are perfect examples of this and total sharing economy fees in the marketplaces are expected to exceed $40 billion by 2020.

With markets powered by Origin, there are no middlemen charging these fees. Instead, buyers and sellers share 20-30% savings when the middlemen are cut out.

Better incentives

Centralized marketplaces like Airbnb and Uber don't reward their early entrants with company shares. The Origin Protocol allows each of the first participants to have a stake in the network contributing to its growth.

Buyers and sellers can earn Origin Tokens (OGN) by simply using Origin-enabled apps to transact with each other. Additionally, developers, affiliates, and market operators can earn OGN in a variety of ways.

Major access

There are an estimated 2 billion unbanked people in the world who do not have access to traditional bank accounts, credit cards and other centralized financial services.

Origin Protocol allows the unbanked to participate in the new Internet economy with cryptocurrencies, granting access to new markets globally.

More resistance

Centralized markets can be closed or banned. For example, Airbnb is regulated or banned in cities like Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, New York, and others.

Decentralized marketplaces powered by Origin cannot be banned or shut down as they reside on top of the public Ethereum blockchain and have no single points of failure. That said, Origin's decentralized trading is more resilient and promotes efficient markets.
