what's ORE?
Ore is a proof-of-work (PoW) digital currency built on the Solana blockchain, designed to enable accessible mining from everyday devices like smartphones and laptops without requiring specialized hardware. It promotes fair distribution by avoiding pre-mines or insider allocations, instead relying on an open, community-driven mining process that anyone can participate in. The project emphasizes transparency through its immutable and open-sourced smart contracts, fostering trust in its constant supply growth model. Technically, Ore introduces a novel mining protocol optimized for Solana's high-throughput environment, where miners solve computational puzzles to earn ORE tokens, contributing to network security while onboarding new users to crypto. This approach leverages Solana's speed to make PoW mining efficient and scalable, potentially attracting millions through mobile apps and tools. The ecosystem is supported by Regolith Labs, which focuses on developing liquidity networks and primitives to enhance adoption.
