Important Details

Bitcoin-style mining has become popular on the Solana blockchain through the Ore project. This project has successfully increased transactions on the Solana network, putting a strain on the system.

The Ore project's mining model allows miners to earn 1 ORE every minute by solving cryptographic puzzles. Ore's token supply is expected to reach 21 million in 42 years, but it does not have a maximum limit. As of now, more than 4,100 ORE tokens have been mined, with close to 3,000 tokens already claimed. The Ore treasury currently holds 1,145 ORE, while top accounts hold up to 150 ORE.

Influence on Solana Network

The Ore project has attracted attention from the Solana community, resulting in a rise in mining activities. Mining is not limited to large miners, and anyone can participate. This growth in mining has led to an increase in transactions processed on the Solana blockchain, adding pressure to the network.

Austin Federa, the head of strategy at the Solana Foundation, mentioned that the Solana network is facing challenges due to a significant increase in traffic from Ore. He confirmed that bug fixes are underway and improvements are on the horizon. However, he acknowledged that there is no immediate solution, and the demand for scaling up the network will persist.

Ore's token began trading on April 2 and reached a peak price of $3,786 on April 5, according to DEX Screener. Currently, the token is trading at just below $2,000.
