How to Interact with Origin Tokens (OGN) and Contracts
Now that thousands of people are set to become OGN token holders from participating in Origin Rewards, we thought it would be a great time to give a few public reminders on how to access the OGN earned from creating profiles, referring friends to the Origin platform, and buying and selling on Origin’s marketplace.
Origin Token (OGN) is an ERC-20 token that any Ethereum wallet can receive and hold on the blockchain. Please note that sending OGN to an exchange’s ETH address may result in the loss of your tokens. On most popular wallets, there is built-in support for OGN at the application level. Please note that as of May 2019, OGN tokens are currently non-transferable, so you cannot move them between different wallets until your tokens are unlocked in the future.
If you look on Etherscan you will see that there are dozens of smart contracts that pretend to be Origin’s ERC20 token. The most common scam here is asking people to participate in a fake token sale, but there are probably others. Always be safe and double-check the address matches. The only official address for Origin Token (OGN) is:
For convenience, you can also reference this smart contract using our ENS address: origintoken.eth.
Origin Marketplace App
Origin’s mobile app currently supports ETH, DAI, and OGN at the application level. To see your OGN balance or wallet address, just tap on the wallet tab on the bottom of your screen. You can also display or copy your wallet address by tapping (+). Using Origin’s official mobile app is the easiest way to interact with our marketplace and tokens.
MetaMask
You should see OGN in your MetaMask wallet if you had OGN sent to your address. Click the hamburger menu to display your ERC-20 tokens. If you don’t see OGN listed, you can search for “OGN” and add it. You can add OGN to MetaMask even if your balance is currently 0.
Trust Wallet
You should see OGN in Trust Wallet if you had OGN sent to your address. To add OGN manually, tap on the + sign in the top right corner and search for “OGN”. Click the (+) next to OGN to add support for OGN tokens.
Coinbase Wallet
You should see OGN in your Coinbase Wallet app if you had OGN sent to your address. Please note that Coinbase Wallet app and Coinbase’s mobile app are different products. Do not use your ETH deposit address from Coinbase’s mobile app to receive OGN. You cannot manually add OGN with a zero balance on the Coinbase Wallet app.
MyEtherWallet
You should see OGN in your MEW if you had OGN sent to your address. If you don’t see your balance, search “OGN” under Tokens to display it.
MyCrypto
To see your OGN balance in MyCrypto, click “Scan For Tokens”. Click “Save” to save the found tokens.
imToken
You should see OGN in your imToken wallet if you had OGN sent to your address. To add it manually, tap the (+) button next to “Assets” and search for “OGN”. Tap (+) to add OGN to add support for OGN tokens.
Bitberry
You should see OGN in your Bitberrry wallet if you had OGN sent to your address. To add it manually, tap the green (+) button and search for “OGN”. Tap “Add” to add OGN to add support for OGN tokens.
Hardware wallets and others
For other wallets that may not have built-in support for OGN, you may be able to add it from our token smart contract address. If you want to use a hardware wallet, we recommend connecting them with MyEtherWallet, MyCrypto, or MetaMask to view your OGN token balance.
Common questions and problems
If you don’t see any OGN in your wallet, make sure you are using the same wallet you registered with for Origin Rewards. Also remember that Origin Rewards payouts happen after each month’s campaign ends. If you are earning OGN from the May campaign, you will not get your tokens until early June.
