ORE Reserve is quietly building something important ⛏️ The ORE Reserve is now sitting at around $49.7K in TVL, with $230.68 in fees generated over the last 7 days. But the bigger story isn’t just the current number. It’s the concept. Protocol-owned liquidity. Instead of relying entirely on external liquidity providers, the protocol is building and controlling its own liquidity across assets including SOL, USDC, ZEC and GLDx. Over the last 7 days, the Reserve has averaged roughly $1,220 in support and $40 in buried value. And the liquidity is distributed across a wide range of ORE prices, creating a deeper foundation as the market develops. This is what makes the Reserve interesting. It’s not just sitting there. It’s infrastructure. More liquidity. More protocol-owned assets. More fees. More value being recycled back into the ecosystem. The Reserve is still early. $49.7K today. Let’s see where it goes from here. ⛏️ MINE. BUILD. EARN. solana:oreoU2P8bN6jkk3jbaiVxYnG1dCXcYxwhwyK9jSybcp

I truly think the most compelling thing about grid mining is what it removes. The ASIC. The warehouse. The electrical infrastructure. The logistics. The depreciation cycles. What remains is remarkably what is pure. The capital, the probability, the competition and the issuance. Grid mining is not the rejection of traditional POW. It is the evolution of its mechanism. Tip of the hard hat to @HardhatChad and his vision of $ORE. I truly don’t think the majority of people grasp the economic rails that have been laid by what is being built.

It has been interesting to watch solana:oreoU2P8bN6jkk3jbaiVxYnG1dCXcYxwhwyK9jSybcp being buried by memecoins that have donated to ORE vault. Never thought that memes could help with driving down the ORE supply. Check out @dchapman's site to see what memes are in the vault: grams.supply/vault

I'm not even making this up. On average an $ORE holder holds roughly 450,000x longer than a meme coin holder. Hard money for the limp hand chain.

alpenglow, a complete consensus rewrite for solana, went from whitepaper to testnet in ~1.5 years? and to mainnet within the next few weeks? on a ~$75B network? no one ships like solana

Alpenglow is officially running on testnet ⛰️ The handoff completed at slot 444625255: Alpenglow genesis block formed and TowerBFT is retired.  Testnet now finalizes with Votor and votes have entirely moved off-chain. Devnet is next. Mainnet-beta after our observation period.

A $32M token is growing its reserves at a rate of $200K per month Enough to buy almost 1% of its supply, at any moment, whenever the token drops It also allocates 95% of all revenue to token buybacks at any price It is a built-in plunge protection tool that no other token has in crypto $SOL going up means that @ORE activity, revenue, buybacks and reserve grow much faster If you assume SOL pumps to ~$170 which is incredibly realistic, then the reserve could grow up to $500K a month In this scenario, downtrends become way more muted, whereas holder confidence grows and incentive to sell decreases This is the cycle where revenue-generating businesses that deploy value back to their holders become the norm

The Supply Will Go to Zero Before the Price Does A month ago, ORE started building something different. A Reserve. The idea was simple: If ORE is going to become money, it needs more than a fixed supply. It needs a mechanism that continuously acts on that supply. Because scarcity is not just about how many coins exist. It is about what happens to the coins that do exist. And that is where the ORE Reserve gets interesting. ⸻ The old HaWG had one instruction: Spend it. Protocol revenue came in. HaWG bought ORE. ORE got buried. Repeat. It was beautifully simple but remarkably blunt. If ORE was ripping higher, HaWG was still buying. If ORE was falling, HaWG had little ammunition beyond whatever revenue was arriving in that moment. It meant the protocol was effectively fighting every battle with the same weapon: market orders. Well, markets don’t move in straight lines. And defense doesn’t work that way either. You don’t put every soldier on the front line. You don’t empty the armory every morning. You don’t spend your entire defense budget the moment you receive it. You build layers. You hold ammunition. You decide where it matters most. That is the idea behind the Reserve. ⸻ The Reserve is a war chest for ORE Think of the Reserve as the protocol’s permanent ammunition supply. It’s not a treasury or a redemption fund. Certainly not a promise that one ORE is worth X dollars. There is no NAV. There is no peg. There is no bureaucrat sitting behind a desk deciding what ORE should be worth. There is simply capital deployed onchain according to a strategy. The Reserve provides liquidity. The market determines the price. The contracts determine the behavior. And when the market moves down through the Reserve’s ranges, the protocol becomes a buyer. The deeper the drawdown, the deeper the defense. That changes the geometry of the buyback. Instead of: Revenue → buy ORE immediately you get: Revenue → Reserve → deploy capital across price zones → buy ORE when the market gives us better prices. That distinction is crucial. Because buying ORE at $70 and buying ORE at $700 are not the same economic event. The first one retires vastly more supply. The Reserve isn’t theoretical. It has already gone from an idea on a Discord thread to an actual piece of ORE’s monetary infrastructure. The dashboard currently shows approximately: $45,000 TVL $250 in fees over the last 7 days 1,138 ORE of support 47.64 ORE buried over the last 7 days And the capital isn’t sitting in one giant pile. It’s distributed across assets. Approximately one-third each in: SOL USDC GLDx The Reserve is plugging away, doing its job. Currently 5% of protocol revenue is diverted towards building it. Check back in a year. You might be surprised at how little things can compound :-)
