Origin Ether (OETH) is a liquid staking token backed 1:1 by ETH, auto-compounding via SSV-based distributed validator (DVT) staking with deep Curve AMO liquidity for instant exit.
OETH isn't a static peg. Its value compounds in ETH terms as yield from aggregated sources flows in — visible through a rising OETH→ETH exchange rate.

Illustrative magnitudes for teaching the mechanism; not live APY. OETH is backed 1:1 by ETH with oracle-free proof-of-reserves.

Native ETH staking locks capital with validator queue exit delays and operational overhead, while most LSTs concentrate validator operations and depend on opaque off-chain key custody.
OETH lets users earn auto-compounding ETH staking yield in a rebasing ERC-20 backed 1:1 by ETH, with DVT-based validator infrastructure (no single key holder) and instant secondary-market exit via deep Curve AMO liquidity.
First major LST to use SSV Network DVT at scale plus a Curve AMO model adapted from the battle-tested OUSD codebase; transparent on-chain accounting, 20% performance fee funds OGN buybacks for xOGN stakers.
