Everyone’s asking how ORE fits into Solana.
Let me say this clearly:
ORE’s Blockspace Mining (BSM) isn’t just a fun game loop.
It might be Solana’s first real app-layer blockspace economy.
And that has huge implications for validators 🧵👇
2/
ORE doesn’t mine blocks.
It doesn’t produce consensus.
Instead, it monetizes compute by turning Solana blockspace into a derivatives market.
Hash tokens = futures on Solana compute.
Every 10 mins, they settle via a jackpot + burn.
3/
This means ORE is doing something novel:
It’s buying blockspace on purpose
…not for finality
…not for storage
…but to stress the chain and create game-theoretic yield.
Most apps try to minimize CU.
ORE maximizes it - strategically.
4/
Why does that matter?
Because Solana validators benefit when blockspace is scarce and valuable.
More demand → more fees → more justification for stake yield.
ORE becomes a synthetic demand engine for CU.
Like Jito, but sideways.
5/
Now here’s the gigabrain bit:
ORE lets anyone “mine” by buying compute,
but Solana validators already plugged in can:
✅ Run bots for every block
✅ Market-make on hash tokens
✅ Build UIs + indexes
✅ Harvest app-layer MEV
6/
ORE doesn’t just sit atop Solana.
It feeds it.
It’s not consensus-level mining.
But it’s economic-level mining.
A layer where compute = commodity
…and speculation is the security budget.
7/
BSM could be the first step toward validator verticalization:
📡 Stake SOL
⚙️ Run ORE bots
🧩 Serve frontends
📊 Collect burn metrics
🎯 Monetize blockspace end-to-end
Apps become pipelines. Validators become yield engines.
8/
TL; DR:
ORE is Solana’s first blockspace-native app that:
✅ Financializes compute
✅ Pays for CU via speculation
✅ Burns on every trade
✅ Builds yield on top of yield
It’s not Proof of Work.
It’s Proof of Speculation.
