# ORE

> It's time to mine.

ORE is a proof-of-work token that anyone can mine on the Solana blockchain.

ORE is a cryptocurrency protocol built on Solana that implements a proof-of-work token system. It allows users to mine tokens through a set of instructions, including opening proof accounts, mining, claiming rewards, and staking. The protocol aims to provide a fair and accessible mining experience for all participants.

## Products

- [ORE Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ORE): ORE is a proof-of-work token distribution with personalized computational challenges on Solana, enabling fair mining rewards and staking multipliers up to 2x. The system uses DrillX hash function to maintain mining accessibility across consumer devices while distributing one token per minute globally through web and CLI interfaces. (Node Software, Live, Main Product)
- [Ore CLI](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ORE): Ore CLI provides command-line interface for advanced cryptocurrency mining operations, offering optimized performance and technical control for power users mining ORE tokens on Solana. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [ORE (ORE)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ORE): ORE is the utility token of ORE Protocol on Solana. It is used for staking to earn protocol revenue and can be earned by participating in the protocol's grid-based mining system. The protocol operates a gamified 5x5 grid where participants deploy SOL on blocks each minute, with winners splitting SOL from losing blocks and receiving ORE rewards, while protocol fees fund automatic token buybacks where 90% of repurchased ORE is permanently burned to create deflationary pressure.
