How It Works
Summon shiny rocks. Watch them spit passive income. The deeper the Ore, the harder you flex. Simple mechanics wrapped in ancient magic (and light tax logic).
1. Open an Ore Node
To begin, users stake ORB tokens to summon an Ore Node. Each node corresponds to a specific tier, starting with Shard of Orineth and rising up to the rare Aetherium of the Elders. Higher tiers cost more to open—but offer stronger APR and greater long-term benefits.
2. Earn Tiered APR
Each Ore Node grants daily yield based on its tier:
Shard of Orineth: 1% Daily Yield, 365% APR
Ore of Eldryn: 2% Daily Yield, 730% APR
Crystal of Valdunir: 3% Daily Yield, 1095% APR
Mithril Heartstone: 4% Daily Yield, 1460% APR
Aetherium of the Elders: 5% Daily Yield, 1825% APR
APR is calculated automatically, with rewards accruing in real-time and claimable at any time.
3. Claim or Compound
Users can choose to:
Claim their yield and use it freely
Compound to open new nodes or upgrade existing ones (e.g., combine lower-tier Ores to ascend)
Compounding helps maximize long-term yield and allows users to climb tiers over time.
4. Burn & Loop Mechanics
Every Ore Node creation feeds the Orb's deflationary cycle:
Spent ORB re-enters the Rewards Pool, creating a self-fueling loop
Unclaimed rewards may be burned after cooldowns to reduce passive drain
Claim taxes and ritual events reroute ORB into locked vaults, sustaining long-term yield.
Node fusion and Echo upgrades trigger irreversible ORB burns.
5. Vault-Backed Rewards
Orb Protocol does not inflate supply to print rewards.
A fixed portion of total ORB is vault-locked exclusively for node emissions.
Rewards are distributed from this pool - no minting, no dilution
Emission pacing can adjust dynamically as user behavior evolves
What you earn is finite. What you forge is permanent.
Future Upgrades
In later phases, the Orb Protocol will introduce:
NFT wrapping of Ore Nodes ---> Enables node trading, mobility, and legacy status
Echo Infusion Mini - Game ---> Upgrade Echoes via quests, burns, and crafting visuals
Tier Ascension Rituals ---> Limited-time burn events to evolve nodes beyond their original state
PvE-style Orb Quests ---> Interact, harvest, earn rare Echoes & loot
