The Open Rights Exchange (ORE) Protocol provides a simple and flexible way for developers to add rights/access control, identity, and payment to any application.
The protocol runs on the ORE Network - a secure EOS sister-chain that is hosted by a decentralized network of independant block producers.
This documentation is for ORE block producers and those interested in joining the network.
The ORE Network is an EOS sister-chain that runs an unmodified version of EOSIO blockchain. However, ORE is not a general-purpose chain. Users cannot deploy smart contracts to the chain. Instead, the chain is only used to house EOS user accounts and to trade 'rights tokens' that provide access to a digital asset (or the right to call an off-chain, ORE-enabled API). These Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) can be owned and transfered between users.
ORE Block producers agree to run a few additional off-chain 'Oracle' services including one that validate these 'rights tokens' and enable calls to off-chain APIs.
Block Producers Agreement - All ORE Block Producers agree to abide by these guidelines
ORE Block Producer Technical Requirements - ORE Block Producers should run a minimum hardware configuration and launch their chain using the provided configuration and Genesis file(s)
For now, AIKON will be screening all BP candidates to ensure that we strike the right balance between professionalism, decentralization, and security. If you haven’t yet been pre-approved as a BP please fill out this form to apply: ORE Block Producer Request Form
