# Orz **ORZ is the decentralized version of ORE with same code.** It uses a novel proof-of-work algorithm to guarantee no miner can ever be starved out from earning rewards. ## Modify vs ORE - [`Consts`](src/consts.rs) – Replaced metadata & PDAs. - [`Entrypoint`](src/lib.rs) – Replaced declare_id. - [`Errors`](src/error.rs) - Added total supply error. - [`Processor`](src/processor/reset.rs) – Added total supply of 21M. ## How to start Just run [orz-cli](https://github.com/OrzSupply/orz-cli) with your solana RPC ## How it works The primary innovation of Orz is to offer non-exclusive mining rewards. This means one miner finding a valid solution does not prevent another miner from finding one as well. Rather than setting up every miner in a winner-take-all competition against one another, Orz gives each miner a personalized computational challenge. As long as a miner provides a valid solution to their own individual challenge, the protocol guarantees they will earn a piece of the supply. Since no miner can be censored from the network and valid solutions are non-exclusive, starvation is avoided. ## Supply Orz is designed to protect holders from runaway supply inflation. Regardless of how many miners are active in the world, supply growth is strictly bounded to a rate of `0 ≤ R ≤ 2 ORZ/min`. In other words, linear. The mining reward rate – amount paid out to miners per valid solution – is dynamically adjusted every 60 seconds to maintain an average supply growth of `1 ORZ/min`. This level was chosen for its straightforward simplicity, scale agnosticism, and for striking a balance between the extremes of exponential inflation on one hand and stagnant deflation on the other. - 1 orz per minute, capped at 21 million. - 1x difficulty per 5k holders, capped at 32x. - Voting governance, never close. ## Program - [`Consts`](src/consts.rs) – Program constants. - [`Entrypoint`](src/lib.rs) – The program entrypoint. - [`Errors`](src/error.rs) – Custom program errors. - [`Idl`](idl/ore.json) – Interface for clients, explorers, and programs. - [`Instruction`](src/instruction.rs) – Declared instructions and arguments. - [`Loaders`](src/loaders.rs) – Validation logic for loading Solana accounts. ## Instructions - [`Initialize`](src/processor/initialize.rs) – Initializes the Orz program, creating the bus, mint, and treasury accounts. - [`Reset`](src/processor/reset.rs) – Resets the program for a new epoch. - [`Register`](src/processor/register.rs) – Creates a new proof account for a prospective miner. - [`Mine`](src/processor/mine.rs) – Verifies a hash provided by a miner and issues claimable rewards. - [`Claim`](src/processor/claim.rs) – Distributes claimable rewards as tokens from the treasury to a miner. - [`UpdateAdmin`](src/processor/update_admin.rs) – Updates the admin authority. - [`UpdateDifficulty`](src/processor/update_difficulty.rs) - Updates the hashing difficulty. ## State - [`Bus`](src/state/bus.rs) - An account (8 total) which tracks and limits the amount mined rewards each epoch. - [`Proof`](src/state/proof.rs) - An account (1 per miner) which tracks a miner's hash, claimable rewards, and lifetime stats. - [`Treasury`](src/state/treasury.rs) – A singleton account which manages program-wide variables and authorities. ## Tests To run the test suite, use the Solana toolchain: ``` cargo test-sbf ``` For line coverage, use llvm-cov: ``` cargo llvm-cov ```
