Most people have never heard of ORE.
Of those who have heard, most don’t understand the mission.
Of those who understand, most don’t believe it’s possible.
Of those who believe, most aren’t brave enough to say so.
Be brave. Do the impossible.

ORE V4 rollout begins today.
V4 is designed to ship differently.
One thing V3 made clear: public, in-progress product development is hard to follow. Throwing out cherished ideas and considering new ones is part of the process, and that uncertainty can be uncomfortable to watch in real time.
So V4 was built more quietly. And rather than a single large upgrade, it will roll out gradually, with room for community feedback on each new feature.
Beginning today with the first ship: a redesigned miner deploy form.
The new deploy flow:
- Input the total SOL to be deployed into the mines.
- Select tiles per round and number of rounds.
- SOL per round is calculated automatically before deploy.
The new form is also substantially more mobile-friendly than before.
A few distinctions from the legacy form:
The primary number now represents total SOL being deployed into the mines. Increasing the number of rounds spreads that SOL across more rounds, automatically reducing the amount deployed per round.
For miners who prefer per-tile input, the legacy version remains available in settings, along with some newly added UI toggles.
Starting out small with some simple frontend changes for now.
Much more to come.
ORE V4.
The reporter in the field @zinnresearch back with another issue of the Mineshaft weekly. If you have somehow missed all of the updates for ORE this week, here is your chance to get caught up!
The Zcash bug is a reminder that every non-sovereign SoV asset sits somewhere on a spectrum of tradeoffs.
A big part of Bitcoin’s genius is its relative simplicity. Bitcoin is making the tradeoff of avoiding complex shielded privacy at the protocol level, which makes verification and supply auditing much simpler.
@Zcash chose a different point on the spectrum: stronger privacy, but more cryptographic complexity and more room for soundness bugs.
I’m still a believer in Zcash, and in fact I added to my PA today. It has one of crypto's strongest cypherpunk communities, and these trauma-bonding moments are often what forge the conviction needed to survive as a belief asset. And these are belief assets at the end of the day.
But Bitcoin is making tradeoffs too.
The Bitcoin asset must secure the Bitcoin blockchain. That works beautifully if blockspace demand and fee revenue continue to grow over time. But what happens if economic activity on the L1 stagnates? What happens if the chain struggles to improve performance, lower fees, or grow a native onchain eco?
I think the design space for crypto stores of value is much larger than most people appreciate.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I post about @ORE frequently.
The reason for which is that it occupies a very compelling point on the tradeoff spectrum: a non-sovereign SoV that natively inherits @Solana’s performance and ecosystem, while remaining separate from the L1 security asset itself.
I believe a non-sovereign SoV can be divorced from the responsibility of securing the L1 it lives on. It can instead inherit the performance, composability, and settlement assumptions of a chain that is already scaling, while remaining natively integrated with a thriving DeFi economy, without relying on trusted third parties (bridges, CEX wrappers, etc). It also can immutably freeze core components of the system (e.g. ORE's mint is frozen and can never be changed).
Of course ORE too makes a tradeoff in that it depends on Solana's survival. What is the optimal set of tradeoffs long term? We shall see.
The ORE mint program was frozen Dec 9, 2025.
Maximum issuance: 3,000,000 ORE.
Maximum emission rate: +2 ORE per minute.
Cannot be upgraded. Cannot be amended.
Immutable.
This is @HardhatChad's first interview in over a year.
What Satoshi started, he never stopped building.
He's locking @ore down so no one can change it. Not even him.
V1. V2. V3. V4.

The Solana native digital store of value - with maximum transparency.
No opaque side deals, boardroom meetings or quid pro quo.
@Blockworks cooked with this one.
If you are an investor, you can’t afford to miss this report.
Something very real is cooking on @solana - OPOS!
Be so different that you're in top 10 daily revenue, but they still don't know what category to put you in, so they just leave you off the map altogether
If you want a good cult coin - just buy ORE
If you want high yield, low risk - just stake ORE
If you want something truly unique like PoW mining with yield on Sol - just mine ORE
If you want a privacy solution but it has to be a native token on Sol - just shield ORE
If you want a store of value - just hold ORE
$ORE is inevitable.
More than HALF of our $39M market cap is being staked and earning a MASSIVE yield.
A relatively tiny market cap of $390M will bring us to a price of $850.
A moderate and very realistic market cap of $3.9B will bring us to a price of $8,500.
A future market cap of $39B (maybe during THIS coming bull run) will bring us to a price of $85,000.
Someday, maybe soon… or maybe in the distant future, an eventual market cap of $390B, will bring us to a price of $850,000.
We will retire our childrens’ children.
You are NOT bullish enough. 📈
