The @EtherFi eETH ARM is at an all-time high in deposits 🦾

The eETH ARM earned 8.9% APY yesterday
(4.5% 30 day average APY)

The ARM helps support the $eETH peg by purchasing eETH on AMMs when it trades below 1 ETH, redeeming it through the EtherFi withdrawal queue to profit from the spread.

Someone please explain to me how I can make more by borrowing $USDC and than lending it

Econ professors in disbelief

[Origin Protocol @OriginProtocol]

Where else do you get paid to borrow?

The Super OETH Borrow Booster market on @Base is offering negative borrow rates, with borrowers earning ~9.7% APY on $USDC.

Check it out on @Morpho 🦋

[Origin Protocol @OriginProtocol]

50,000,000 $OGN bought back ♻️

80% of that buyback volume happened in the last six months after the buyback proposal passed.

With protocol fees now fueling buybacks, staking rewards have accelerated like never before, with max locked $xOGN currently earning ~33% APY.

Next stop: 100M ⏳

Back in my day, men used to get liquidated taking on max LTVs.

Now you can size up your @Morpho loops with auto-deleverage while getting PAID to borrow USDC:

Auto-deleverage is available on @Morpho for Borrow Booster markets. 🛡️

OETH/USDC and superOETHb/USDC both support auto-deleverage, giving you more confidence to size up your loop.

Cheaper borrow rates, now paired with automatic risk controls 🧵 (1/2)

6 weeks ago, I told our senior smart contract engineer that we should replace Oracles committees.

Use Merkle Proofs to verify Beacon Chain balances instead, it's cleaner.

Much more elegant design. Anyways, here we are:

[Origin Protocol @OriginProtocol]

The $OETH staking upgrade is here — delivering major improvements in security, efficiency, and reliability.

The upgrade removes oracle dependencies and modernizes validator operations.

Here's why it matters 🧵

[Origin Intern @origin_intern]

Don't trust, verify.

Learn how $OETH uses Merkle Proofs to verify Beacon Chain balances, removing oracle dependencies that have been the standard for liquid staking... until now:

[Origin Protocol @OriginProtocol]

The End of Oracle Dependence: How Origin Ether Brings Trustless Validation to Liquid Staking

Ethereum’s liquid staking market keeps scaling, but most LSTs still rely on 3rd-party oracle committees to function.

That’s a structural weakness in a system built for self-verification.

These committees bridge execution → consensus, reporting validator balances and exits. The setup works, but it introduces delay, coordination overhead, and social trust into the a place that shouldn’t require it.

With the latest $OETH upgrade, that design gap is gone.

Origin Ether now verifies validator balances directly against the Beacon Chain using Merkle proofs via EIP-4788 — removing oracle dependencies entirely. This aligns LST accounting with Ethereum’s core principle: trust only the chain.

A quick breakdown:

• Execution-layer LSTs were historically blind to consensus-layer validator balances
• Most LSTs rely on committees to push updates every 24 hours
• This creates lag, trust assumptions, and offchain complexity
• Dencun’s EIP-4788 changed the model by exposing Beacon roots inside the EVM
• Smart contracts can now confirm validator state cryptographically, without intermediaries

OETH is among the first LSTs to fully adopt this architecture.

Validator balance increases, decreases, exits, and pending deposits are now verified entirely through Merkle proofs. Any state update failing validation is rejected onchain.

All contracts were audited by @OpenZeppelin, @sigp_io, and @Nethermind, ensuring the approach meets the same security bar as validator infrastructure itself.

Why this matters:

• Stronger resilience: no offchain actors needed
• Deterministic accounting: integrations can trust the numbers rather than oracles
• Full transparency: anyone can verify validator states using public Beacon data

OETH joins a small set of protocols — including EigenLayer and Stakefish — pushing proof-based validation forward.

Bringing this to the liquid staking layer gives users direct access to trust-minimized ETH staking rewards.

As Ethereum continues to evolve, proof-based accounting is set to replace oracle-driven systems.

Merkle proofs are emerging as a core primitive for the next stage of onchain finance, enabling things like:

• Restaking protocols with native validator state verification
• Institutional staking and fund products that require cryptographic solvency proofs
• Modular and cross-chain systems anchored to Ethereum’s consensus data

Origin Ether is taking this path early, setting a higher standard for verification in staking.

just making sure you see this 💕

[Origin Protocol @OriginProtocol]

The $OETH staking upgrade has passed governance and is now deployed.

This marks the start of OETH’s transition to Merkle Proof–based validation: a major step toward fully trustless Ethereum staking.
