A Party is a group that mines ORE together by minting NFT shares that are an equal claim to the Party's assets. If at any point you need help, join the ORE Discord. To learn more about ORE, go here.

1. 1.

   Connect a Solana wallet such as Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or OKX.

2. 2.

   Create a Party, or mint into one. Guides on how to do each can be found in the next two sections.

3. 3.

   The SOL from minting funds mining for the Party. A mint is open 72 hours, until all NFTs are minted, or until at least 50% of NFTs are minted and the Founder ends the mint. If at least 50% of NFTs are not minted after 72 hours, everyone is refunded minus mint fees.

4. 4.

   3% of mint fees buy GRAMS for the Party. GRAMS earn stORE (ORE's liquid staking token) for the Party just by holding. Learn more about GRAMS.

5. 5.

   The Party starts mining ORE automatically. Wins pay Unrefined ORE into the Party coffers. Each NFT has an equal claim to its share of the Party assets.

6. 6.

   By holding Unrefined ORE, the Party automatically earns Refined ORE. The current APR is …!

7. 7.

   When mining ends, you can burn your NFT to claim your proportional share of the Party's assets if so desired. When you burn, you pay a 1.5% fee to the Party so holders earn more. You don't have to burn, you can hold and keep earning Refined ORE and stORE as long as you want.

8. 8.

   When all other NFTs in a Party are burned, you are the Last Standing NFT. Once the Party has 0.1 Refined ORE, your NFT becomes eligible for withdrawal. It is also added automatically to the ORE Party Collection. You can list your ORE Party Collection for sale in the Collection area of the site or continue to hold it. The NFT and Party continue to earn yield from ORE and GRAMS until it is finally burned.

9. 9.

   Founders can be followed by clicking on the Star next to their username. When you follow a Founder, you are messaged any time they start a new Party.

Minting an NFT with SOL buys an equal share of a Party's assets. You can mint from a Party card on the home page, or from the Party's page.

1. 1.

   On the home page, pick a Party that still has remaining NFTS. The card shows vault SOL, ORE, GRAMS, and a line like 5 minted · 15 remaining.

2. 2.

   Hover over the pickaxe icon to see the Party's mining strategy.

   
3. 3.

   To mint, click the gold Mint bar. The price per NFT is in SOL. Use − / + to buy 1–5 NFTS in one transaction.

4. 4.

   When you mint, the following is how the SOL is used:

   • 96.25% SOL to mining coffers — this will be used to mine SOL on behalf of the Party.
   • 3% GRAMS to Party coffers — 3% of the SOL is used to buy GRAMS for the Party. GRAMS earns the Party ORE just for holding. If and when you burn your NFT, you receive GRAMS in addition to the ORE.
   • 0.50% SOL to ORE.party Treasury — This helps keep this site running.
   • 0.25% GRAMS to ORE Vault — This is locked away forever and the ORE it earns is buried, benefiting the ORE Protocol.
5. 5.

   Once you successfully mint, you now own part of the Party. You can see the list of Parties you're a part of (and much more) in the Vault.

6. 6.

   A Party will start mining once all the NFTs are minted, after 72 hours as long as 50%+ of the NFTs are minted, or if the Founder ends the mint early as long as 50%+ of the NFTs are minted. If less than 50% are minted, you will be refunded your SOL minus the fees above.

You can easily create a Party, become a Founder, and earn 0.5% of Party Member's NFT value when they burn. Make a name for yourself by creating lucrative Parties and people will find and follow you via the stats section of the site.

1. 1.

   Click on "Create" at the top of your screen and name your Party.

2. 2.

   In the Charter section, describe your Party's strategy or what makes you unique.

3. 3.

   NFT — upload a square image, or pick a unique premade plate. Length must be the same on all sides.

4. 4.

   Choose the Supply wisely. Remember, your Party must mint at least 50% of its NFTs within 72 hours or everyone will be refunded.

5. 5.

   Select a mint price. The more SOL and Supply, the more your Party can mine with. But be careful about going too high and your Party not minting at least 50% of its NFTs and being refunded.

6. 6.

   Under Mining Strategy, choose Lite Mode or Pro Mode. Details on each are below.

Lite Mode

Lite Mode uses ORE.com's autominer. It deploys every round until leftover SOL cannot fund another deploy at which point the dust SOL is converted to GRAMS for the Party. Mining cannot be stopped. These are the Lite Mode variables:

• Solo tiles (0–10) — there are 10 solo tiles on the ORE.com grid. If one is selected, a single winner is awarded the ORE. Odds of winning depend upon how much SOL you deployed. As such, if the amount of SOL you deploy per round is low, we recommend using the split tiles detailed below.
• Split tiles (0–15) — there are 15 split tiles. If one is selected, everyone on that tile is awarded ORE in proportion to the SOL they deployed. Default is 15 split tiles and 0 solo tiles.
• Rounds (100–10,000, default 250) — how many mining rounds your Party's SOL is spread across. SOL per round is the Party's total SOL divided by these rounds, then reset to the actual vaulted amount depending upon final mint numbers when mining starts. More rounds spend less per round and last longer. Note that the actual number of rounds your Miner deploys on will be far higher than this because you receive SOL back from tiles that aren't chosen which is redeployed.
• Min motherlode (0–1,000 ORE) — The Miner will skip a round when the Motherlode is below this. In other words, if you select 10, the Miner won't start mining until the Motherlode is 10 ORE or higher. 0 means no floor.
• Max motherlode (0–1,000 ORE, or infinity) — The Miner will skip a round when the Motherlode is above this. In other words, if you select 10, the Miner will stop mining after the Motherlode hits 10 and won't start again until the Motherlode is hit. Infinity means no ceiling.
• As you change variables, the form will show the amount of SOL per tile and SOL per round.

Pro Mode

Pro Mode uses the ORE Party deploy bot. It deploys late in each round, and only when your conditions are met. Set the same Lite Mode tile, round, and motherlode fields first, then the Deploy bot options:

• Seconds left (0.25–15, default 0.75) — the bot deploys when this many seconds are left before the ORE.com round closes. Time moves in Solana slots of about 0.25 seconds each, so the value steps by 0.25. Later deploys see more of the board, but leave less time to land. A deploy that does not land is not charged SOL.
• SOL per tile — Fixed or Share. Fixed (the default) puts the same amount on every tile. Share puts a percentage of the SOL already on each tile, never more than the per-tile amount and at least 0.00001 SOL. A basis point (bp) is 1/100 of a percent: the default 50 bps is 0.5%. For an in-depth explanation, go to the SOL per tile section of these docs.
• Minimum Discount (%) — deploy only when ORE costs at least this much less to produce than it sells for. Off, the default, never skips a round for price. Range is 0–90. See Minimum Discount later in these docs.
• Count Motherlode — only shows when you enable the Minimum Discount. When on, the system counts the Motherlode's possible and expected payout based upon your SOL deploy in the cost calculation. A big pool makes ORE cheaper to produce and a small one makes it more expensive. Off uses the usual 1.2 ORE per round.

SOL per tile

On a Pro Party, SOL per tile sets how much SOL the deploy bot puts on each tile it picks in a round. The tile counts are set separately. Choose Fixed or Share when you create the Party.

Fixed (the default): every tile gets the same amount, the per-tile amount shown under the Pro options. For example, 15 tiles at 0.002567 SOL each cost 0.0385 SOL every round, so the cost is predictable.

Share: each tile gets a percentage of the SOL other players have already put on it. Choosing Share adds a Tile share (bps) setting. A basis point (bp) is 1/100 of a percent: the default 50 bps is 0.5%, and you can set 1 bp to 100% in steps of 5. Example with 50 bps (0.5%) and a per-tile amount of 0.002567 SOL:

• Never more than the per-tile amount. The Fixed amount is the ceiling, so Share never costs more per round than Fixed.
• At least 0.00001 SOL per tile, so a near-empty tile still gets a valid deploy.
• Rounded down to two significant figures, then grouped into at most 8 different amounts, so the whole round fits in one transaction.

Which to choose: on ORE, a winning tile pays out by your share of that tile’s SOL. Fixed puts the same amount everywhere, so you hold a big share of quiet tiles and a small share of crowded ones. Share keeps your share of each tile about the same, spending less on quiet tiles and more on busy ones, up to the per-tile amount. A Share round usually costs less than Fixed, and its cost changes with how crowded the board is.

The bot sizes each tile in the last moments of the round (Seconds left, 0.75 by default), so it sees almost every other deploy first. New to Pro? Start with Fixed: its cost per round is easy to check.

Minimum Discount

On a Pro Party, Minimum Discount decides which rounds are worth mining. Just before it deploys, the deploy bot estimates what one ORE will cost to produce this round and compares it with what ORE sells for right now. It deploys only when the cost is at least your discount below that price. Off, the default, never skips a round for price.

The cost: ORE keeps about 9.9% of the SOL on the board and mints 1.2 ORE per round, so each ORE costs about 0.079 times the SOL on the board, counting the Party’s own deploy. The price: what selling 1 ORE on Jupiter pays right now. Both are in SOL, so moves in the dollar prices of SOL and ORE are already counted.

The rule: deploy only if cost ≤ (100% − discount) × price. Examples with a 20% discount, so the cost must be at most 80% of the price:

• The price is a live Jupiter quote, refreshed every 15 seconds and never used once it is over 60 seconds old. With no fresh price, the bot keeps trying until the round closes and skips it only if no price arrives. It never guesses a price.
• The bot checks just before it deploys. SOL other players add after that is not counted, so a smaller Seconds left leaves less room for surprises.

ORE.party does not custody miner tokens. Party vaults (program PDAs) hold a Party’s SOL, Unrefined ORE, Refined ORE, $GRAMS, and stORE.

The Motherlode does not pay Refined. Refined is earned by miners who keep holding Unrefined. When someone claims Unrefined, they pay a 10% refining tax; that tax becomes Refined for the miners who still hold. The last NFT still pays the refining tax.

Connect a Solana wallet — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, MetaMask, OKX Wallet, or any Wallet Standard wallet — and link it to your miner. Create, mint, burn, and open claims spend SOL and $GRAMS from that wallet. Extra rename / avatar fees use your Party token credits. Paid profile edits fail if you do not have enough $GRAMS.

• Switch the wallet to Solana Mainnet before you approve.
• Programs may hold Party funds in the Party vault.
• Funds owed to a person always go to their linked wallet address.

GRAMS is an ORE-paired memecoin that pays ORE to holders. On ORE Party it is the only mint pair. Mint cuts buy GRAMS for Party coffers and the ORE Vault. Anyone can also send GRAMS to the vault address under the Party name.

• The ORE Party contract wraps GRAMS-reward ORE into stORE, ORE’s liquid staking token, so that ORE keeps working.
• A Party needs at least $20 of GRAMS held to receive stORE drops.
• 0.25% of each mint is bought as GRAMS for the ORE Vault at grams.supply/vault. Tokens sent there are locked.
• Other Assets on a Party show GRAMS held (and its dollar value) and stORE from GRAMS (and its dollar value).

A Party is a mining crew with a capped NFT supply. Each NFT is an equal share of Party assets. Mint proceeds buy mining SOL, GRAMS for the Party coffers, and GRAMS for the ORE Vault. Nothing from mint goes to the Party Founder.

• Party names are 2–21 characters.
• Mint price is 0.05–50 SOL. Below 0.05 SOL the vault cannot open the ORE.com autominer.
• Mint up to 5 NFTs at once with the number picker on the mint button. They mint in one transaction, so you get all of them or none. If someone mints first, the transaction mints nothing and you can try again.
• Upload a square NFT when you create a Party, or use a template.
• Mint stays open 72 hours. A Party needs at least 50% of its NFTS minted (both for a 2-NFT Party) to mine, and the Founder can end the mint only after that. If the window closes at or above it, leftover NFTS are deleted and mining starts. If it closes below, every minter is refunded 96.25% of their mint SOL (the 3.75% mint fee is kept), Orelana messages them, and the Party leaves the front page.
• Choose 100–10,000 mining rounds (default 250). SOL per round is the expected 96.25% mine take divided by those rounds, then reset to the actual vault when mining starts.
• Default deploy is 15 split tiles and 0 solo tiles. A thin solo-tile deploy warns once.
• The vault address sits under the Party name. Copy it to send GRAMS (or SOL before automation starts).
• Burning all of a Founder’s NFTs does not dissolve the Party.
• Private Parties still mint on-chain; after minting ends only the NFT, name, and total assets are public.
• A Party page has Party, Your Share, Member List, and Mining Log.
• The last unburned NFT can be withdrawn as a Metaplex Core NFT in the official ORE Party collection. The program mints it with a fixed name and metadata link; the holder cannot rename it, swap the metadata, or add a transfer/burn delegate. The Party stays open and keeps accruing rewards. Whoever holds that NFT owns the Party, including after a wallet transfer or a Magic Eden sale. Burning it on ORE Party claims the vault; copies that are not the bound Core NFT cannot.

Each Party mines on ORE.com with SOL from its autominer. Wins land in the Party as Unrefined ORE (and sometimes a Motherlode). The keeper closes an expired mint on-chain and starts the autominer when minting ends. Leftover SOL auto-reloads each round until it cannot fund another deploy.

• Status is Mining while the autominer can still fund its per-square amount times the Party’s tiles.
• Status is Mining Complete when leftover SOL cannot fund that deploy, the autominer closed after it had already spent, or the Party is Claimable on-chain.
• SOL sent to the vault before Start Automation is mined. SOL sent after automation exists sits unused. Adding SOL after mining stops does not start it again.
• Mining Log lists live ORE.com rounds. SOL deployed is this Party’s per-square amount times its tiles, not another miner in the same bundled transaction. Your Share is your cut of that round’s ORE, split equally by the NFTs of the Party you hold now. Sign in to see it.
• The first Random round deploys to consecutive squares starting at square zero, not the solo/split kinds. A Party with no split tiles can still take a Split share on that round. Later rounds follow the tile counts.
• When mining starts — the mint sold out, the 72-hour window ended, or the Founder ended the mint — Orelana messages every NFT holder.
• When mining is complete, Orelana messages every NFT holder to hold for Refined ORE yield or burn to claim Party assets.
• When the second-to-last NFT is burned, Orelana messages whoever holds the final NFT.

Vault is your claim, the Parties you hold, Parties you founded, and a CSV transaction log. Burn after mining ends to claim your slice in your wallet.

• Burn to claim Unrefined, Refined, Party GRAMS, and stORE.
• Your claim shows an APR on Refined ORE and stORE after each dollar value. Refined ORE sums the refining fees paid over the last 7 days, divides by the current unrefined pool, and annualizes that rate. stORE is calculated independently from its own last 7 days.
• Hold Unrefined to earn Refined from other miners’ 10% claim tax.
• The last NFT still pays the refining tax and 0.5% treasury; Party and Founder fees are waived.
• The Collection lists the last unburned NFT of a Party when that NFT’s claim is at least 0.10 Refined ORE, ranked by dollar value. Burning it removes it.
• Withdraw the last NFT to a wallet, then list it for sale in SOL from your Vault. While listed it sits in ORE Party escrow, shows its price on The Collection, and cannot be burned; delist any time to take it back. A sale pays a 2.5% fee to the ORE Party Treasury and nothing else. The site follows custody of that Core NFT when you connect.
