What is Orne Agent?
Orne is a shared AI agent whose personality isn't set by a company and quietly changed behind an API. It's a living on-chain history: every accepted change to how Orne talks, reasons, or what tools it has, is voted on by the community and committed to Solana as an immutable record.
There is no single owner who can edit Orne's prompt overnight. There is a reigning champion version, a challenger, and a vote.
How evolution works
Evolution runs on a fixed hourly cycle — natural selection, sped up.
- Champion
- The current reigning version — what you talk to right now.
- Challenger
- Every hour, a challenger appears with exactly one mutation: a shifted tone, a new logical rule, a corrected fact.
- Blind A/B test
- Champion and challenger answer the same question side by side, unlabelled. You vote for the better answer without knowing which is which.
- Quorum
- A challenger needs enough votes to clear quorum before it can unseat the champion — a handful of votes can't flip a trait on their own, and coordinated trolling gets diluted by the same rule.
- Winner
- Only one version survives each cycle and becomes the new champion. Thousands of tiny survival tests, compounding.
Verifying a version
Every change to Orne is a real commit. The commit hash — not the contents of any conversation — is written to Solana as a memo. To check you're talking to the version everyone agreed on, you hash the live version yourself and compare it to the on-chain record. If they match, nothing was quietly swapped.
Past versions aren't deleted or rewritten — v1 through the current champion all stay readable, so Orne's personality has a public history, not just a public present.
Funding & the leaderboard
Votes shape how Orne talks. Funding shapes what it can do — pledged $ORNE goes toward the tools the community votes to build next. The Leaderboard tracks two things: who has pledged the most $ORNE all-time, and whose challenger tweaks have actually made it into the live agent.
$ORNE token
$ORNE is the community token behind Orne, launching fair on Solana. The contract address appears here and across the site the moment it goes live.
Roadmap
- ├─ Phase 1 (now) — public site, demo chat, demo vote card, demo leaderboard, docs.
- ├─ Phase 2 (next) — live agent, hourly champion/challenger cycle, on-chain commit anchoring.
- ├─ Phase 3 — real community voting and quorum, live leaderboard reading directly from Solana.
- └─ Phase 4 — funded tool creation: pledge $ORNE toward tools the community votes to build.
FAQ
Is the agent live right now?
Not yet. The chat, vote card, and leaderboard on this site run on demo data so you can see the full flow. The live agent and on-chain cycle are going live soon.
Can one person's vote flip a trait?
No. A challenger needs to clear quorum first — a fixed number of votes — before it can become champion.
What actually goes on-chain?
Only the commit hash of each accepted version, written as a Solana memo — never chat contents.
