While the crypto twitter is busy discussing why Bitcoin is down 30%+ and when it will retrace, blockchain teams are hard at work creating valuable protocols enabling new possibilities for the future.

One such protocol that I discovered recently is ‘Origin Protocol’ — (https://originprotocol.com)

The website says “Origin is a protocol for creating sharing economy marketplaces using the Ethereum blockchain and IPFS”

Think of this as a platform enabling AirBnB like business on blockchain without any centralized company controlling the marketplace and also removing 20–30% middleman fees.

Currently, next AirBnB, Ebay etc., is being built on top of this protocol.

If you want change the world and give power back to the users (also reward them while you do all this): this is one such protocol to look at while building your next decentralized marketplace!
