Founded in 2020, Origyn Foundation develops technology that combines blockchain infrastructure with artificial intelligence to mint non-fungible tokens serving as tamper-proof digital certificates of authenticity and ownership for fine art, collectibles, luxury items, and digital media. The first three categories focus on physical goods, enabling brands and owners to verify provenance and track items throughout their lifecycle. Origyn plans to launch its digital certificate product in the first half of 2022 and will make its utility token, OGY, publicly tradable thereafter; the token is required to create and transact these certificates on the platform. The organization operates as a Swiss nonprofit but runs a commercial operating entity headed by CEO Daniel Haudenschild. Proceeds from its recent funding will be used to expand and enhance the product suite, onboard new partners, and support continued research and development. Following the latest raise, the foundation is valued at approximately $300 million. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
