Solana Co-Founder Proposes ORE Fork To Stress Test The Network
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has shared an open proposal to anyone who wants to fork ORE as a means to stress test the network
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Solana congestion could be solved in part by forking ORE
Anatoly Yakovenko has shared an open proposing to achieve this
More solutions to solve Solana congestion woes are being explored
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has raised a new open proposal to the community in a bid to correct the network challenges the blockchain is having. In his latest call, he advocated for stress testing the network through the forking of the ORE protocol.
Forking ORE: Benefit To Everyone
The proposal to stress test Solana as shared by Yakovenko came as a direct response to an earlier X post from Chaofan Shou, a PhD student at the University of Berkley on how he earns $10,000 daily from mining ORE.
Giving a background, he introduced ORE as a token built on Solana but which uses a mining system as a means for claiming. While his setup hinges on bloXroute and Jito Bundles, the lucrativeness of the venture appears as something Yakovenko believes forking it for a more mainstream embrace will be appealing to all.
In his proposal, he asked if someone can “build an ORE fork but with a miner on solana’s testnet then airdrop rewards on mainnet?”
The logic in this proposal is not hard to decipher as Solana’s core developers are currently exploring a number of solutions on the blockchain’s testnet to solidify its durability in a broader move to resolve the congestion issues being experienced. To Yakovenko, an attractive ORE fork can draw thousands or even millions of users who at the same time will provide the needed traffic that can show if Solana is breaking the congestion jinx.
Can someone build an ORE fork but with a miner on solana’s testnet then airdrop rewards on mainnet? All the validators and core devs will be your number one supporters.
Solana gets a testnet stress test, you get tokens. Everyone is happy.
