ORE has solved the original sin of crypto.
🧵👇
Every single token in crypto tries to satisfy multiple parties with competing interests.
Holders want appreciation. Miners need rewards. VCs need exits. Foundations want funding.
These interests don't just differ: they directly conflict.
Someone always loses.
Bitcoin came closest to avoiding this.
Proof-of-work aligned miners and holders for years.
But even BTC forces you to make two separate bets:
(1) Bitcoin is valuable, and (2) Proof-of-Work stays secure forever.
You can't separate these bets.
Now institutions paper trade BTC without actually transacting on chain: undermining the scarcity that gave Bitcoin its value.
ETH is worse. It was a "world computer" but then it bolted on a store-of-value thesis to compete with BTC.
Result? Ethereum became a protocol pulled in every direction:
• Validators need payment
• Foundation needs funding
• Developers need incentives
• Holders want gains
This pattern repeats everywhere.
SOL: 7% inflation unless you stake.
JUP: "50/50 split" means a few hundred team members get the same summed allocation as hundreds of thousands of holders.
Every protocol, even the great ones, has had to make impossible trade-offs.
These tokens act like equity without being equity.
They try to align parties with fundamentally opposed incentives.
In doing so, they compromise their core function, no matter what that function might be.
What if we didn't try to satisfy multiple constituencies?
What if we designed a token for a single purpose, serving a single constituency, without compromise?
Enter ORE: the first single-constituency token.
One purpose: Store of Value
One constituency: people who want to hold it
No validators to pay. No foundation to fund. No developers to compensate. No VCs to exit.
No compromises.
Pillar of Value 1: Modularity
Bitcoin forces you to bet on BTC value AND proof-of-work security. These bets are inseparable.
ORE separates them.
Solana handles consensus.
ORE handles value storage.
When Solana gets faster, more secure, or adds features,
ORE inherits all of it without compromises or contentious forks.
Pillar 2: True Fair Launch
• Zero team allocation
• Zero insider allocation
• Zero VC presale
• Zero premine
• Zero foundation reserve
Even the devs had to buy it off the market or mine it.
PILLAR 3: No Consensus Tax
Bitcoin dilutes holders to pay miners. Ethereum inflates to pay stakers. Solana inflates to pay validators.
ORE pays nothing. Solana validators get paid in SOL.
ORE holders bear zero consensus cost: and is the first to escape the tax.
The multi-constituency approach that defined crypto for 15+ years was never justified.
It was just how it was.
ORE is a different path: one token, one purpose, one constituency.
In a space defined by complexity, simplicity might be the most profound innovation of all.
PILLAR 4: Aligned Incentives
Traditional PoW: miners extract value & sell immediately.
ORE: 10% of all claimed rewards flow to those who hold unclaimed ORE: ~120% APR.
Miners become long-term holders. Revenue funds buybacks. Revenue increases scarcity.
The perfect flywheel.
This isn't incremental improvement. It's a paradigm shift.
Every assumption about token design:
• That tokens must serve multiple functions
• That early allocation is reasonable
• That tokens must pay for their own consensus.
ORE proves these were choices, not necessities.
The multi-constituency approach that defined crypto for 15+ years was never justified.
It was just how it was.
ORE is a different path: one token, one purpose, one constituency.
In a space defined by complexity, simplicity might be the most profound innovation of all.
