Staking Explained
One of the unique features of ORE Pump is that you earn ORE rewards just by playing, regardless of whether you win individual bets.
How It Works
Unrefined ORE
When you play ORE Pump, you accumulate unrefined ORE:
- Automatically generated as you place bets
- Displayed in the ORE Rewards widget (amber icon)
- This is your "stake" in the ORE mining ecosystem
Refined ORE
Your unrefined ORE continuously generates refined ORE:
- Accrues passively over time (like earning interest)
- Displayed in the ORE Rewards widget (diamond icon)
- This is the reward you can claim
Think of it like a mine: Unrefined ORE is your mining operation, and Refined ORE is what you extract from it.
The ORE Ecosystem
ORE Pump is built on the ORE v3 smart contract by Regolith Labs:
- ORE is a legitimate Solana token with real value
- The mining mechanism provides sustainable rewards
- Your stake earns rewards regardless of betting outcomes
Earning Unrefined ORE
You accumulate unrefined ORE through:
- Placing Bets: Every bet adds to your unrefined ORE
- Active Participation: The more you play, the more you accumulate
Viewing Your ORE
In the ORE Pump interface, look for the ORE Rewards widget in the header:
- Unrefined (amber): Your accumulated stake earning rewards
- Refined (white): Processed ORE ready to claim
- Arrow between them: Shows the flow from unrefined → refined
Click the widget to see more details and claim options.
Key Differences
| Type | What It Is | Can Claim? |
|---|---|---|
| Unrefined ORE | Your stake, earns refined ORE | Yes, but stops earning |
| Refined ORE | Rewards from your stake | Yes, anytime |
| Claimable SOL | Winnings from bets | Yes, anytime |
Important: Claiming Unrefined ORE
If you claim your unrefined ORE, it stops generating refined ORE. Only claim unrefined ORE if you want to cash out completely.
Most players leave unrefined ORE accumulating and only claim refined ORE as it accrues.
