What is ORE?
ORE is a token on Solana designed as a store of value. It was fair launched in April 2024 with no pre-mine or insider allocation, new supply is distributed through a virtual mining game, and the total supply is capped at 3,000,000 ORE.
Is this the official ORE website?
No. This is an independent community hub run by StonkBuilder Community. The official site is ore.com and ORE is built by Regolith Labs; neither operates or endorses this page.
What is the ORE contract address?
The ORE mint on Solana is oreoU2P8bN6jkk3jbaiVxYnG1dCXcYxwhwyK9jSybcp. It matches the address published at ore.com/learn/links. The retired 2024 token (v1) also starts with “oreo”, so compare the whole address before you swap.
How does ORE mining work?
Each round, miners deploy SOL on a shared 5×5 grid. An onchain entropy program picks one winning tile and 1 ORE goes to the miners on it: shared pro rata on split tiles, or to a single miner on solo tiles. Another 0.2 ORE per round is added to the Motherlode.
How do I start mining?
Connect a Solana wallet that holds SOL at ore.com/mine. Lite mode spreads your SOL over all 25 tiles across several rounds; Pro mode lets you choose the tiles, the number of rounds, how many split and solo tiles to mine, and Motherlode limits.
What fees does mining carry?
Every tile pays a 1% admin fee, and tiles that do not win also pay 9.9% of their SOL to the protocol, which funds buybacks. Claiming unrefined ORE costs a 10% refining fee that goes to other miners, and Solana network fees apply.
What is the Motherlode?
A jackpot that grows by 0.2 ORE every round. Each round has a 1-in-500 chance to trigger it, and the full balance is then shared by the miners on the winning tile in proportion to the SOL they deployed.
Where does staking yield come from?
From buybacks. Mining revenue buys ORE on the open market; 90% of that ORE is buried and 10% is distributed to stakers. The APR shown on ore.com is an estimate from the last 7 days of distributions, moves with mining activity and is not guaranteed.
Can I withdraw staked ORE at any time?
Yes. Staked ORE has no lockup. Staking rewards build up separately and are claimed on the Stake page, while stORE compounds on its own and can be unwrapped at any time.
What is stORE?
stORE is ORE's liquid staking token. It earns staking yield automatically: the amount of ORE each stORE unwraps to rises over time, and it can be used in other Solana apps.
Who created ORE?
ORE was created by the pseudonymous developer Hardhat Chad and is developed by Regolith Labs. Its programs are open source on GitHub.
Where can I see the live price and supply?
This hub prints no prices, because they change every minute. Use ore.com/explore for protocol stats, or CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, DEX Screener and Birdeye for market data.
