ORE

A Non-Sovereign Digital Store of Value

Throughout history, every form of currency has carried a fundamental tradeoff: the convenience of standardization against the risk of centralized manipulation. Bitcoin promised an alternative, but at just 7 transactions per second, it pushed users back to centralized exchanges and IOUs, recreating the very problem it set out to solve.

ORE is a fair-launch store of value on Solana with a 3 million token max supply and zero team allocation. Built on a chain capable of 1,000+ TPS with sub-second finality, ORE can actually be used without intermediaries.

Every minute, miners prospect on a 5×5 grid by deploying SOL. A winning tile is randomly selected; losers' SOL flows to winners, and +1 ORE is minted among them.

Unlike traditional mining where revenues leak to electricity companies, ORE captures miner spend directly. Protocol revenue buys back ORE from the open market: 90% is buried, 10% goes to stakers. When buybacks exceed emissions, supply becomes deflationary.

A 10% refining fee redistributes claimed ORE from quick sellers to long-term holders. A store of value is a belief system, and ORE aligns incentives with those who believe.
