Explainer

Round title

Displays the current round ID (e.g., 'ORE mining #123') or 'ORE mining explorer' when no round is active. Shows which mining round is currently being displayed.

Round grid

A 5×5 grid of 25 tiles representing the mining squares. Each tile shows the total SOL deployed and number of unique miners. The grid supports two view modes: Smart View (shows deployment intensity with colored borders and includes average statistics) and mempool (real-time bid updates).

Countdown

Shows the remaining time until the current mining round expires. Displays time in human-readable format (seconds, minutes, hours, or days) and approximate slot count. Shows 'Awaiting start' when no round has begun, and 'Expired' when the mining window has closed. The round status can be 'idle' (before start), 'active' (during mining), 'finished' (after end slot), or 'expired' (when results are available or round finished 10+ slots ago). The frontend gracefully handles status transitions and missing status values.

Motherlode

Displays the accumulated jackpot in ORE tokens from the treasury. Shows both the ORE amount and its USD equivalent value. A fire emoji (🔥) appears when the USD value exceeds $10,000. The card highlights when a motherlode is hit in the last completed round.

Total deployed

Shows the sum of all SOL deployed across all 25 tiles in the current round. Displays both the SOL amount and its USD equivalent based on the current SOL/USD price.

Unique miners

Count of unique wallet addresses that have placed bids in the current round. Includes a subtitle showing the total number of bid placements (e.g., 'with 150 bids').

Production cost / unrefined ORE

Calculates the estimated SOL cost to acquire one unrefined ORE token based on the current round's total deployed SOL. Formula: (Total Deployed SOL × Acquisition Cost Rate) / Assumed ORE per Round. The acquisition cost rate accounts for protocol revenue (10%) and admin fees (1%). Assumes 1.2 ORE mined per round. Displays USD value with SOL amount in the subtitle.

Buyback volume / ORE mined

Estimates how much ORE could be bought back per ORE minted using the revenue from the current round. Formula: (Total Deployed SOL × Acquisition Cost Rate × SOL Price) / (ORE Price × Assumed ORE per Round). Shows the ORE amount that could theoretically be purchased per ORE minted, assuming all revenue is used for buybacks at current market prices.

Round result banner

Displays the results of the last completed round when available. Shows the winning tile number, the top miner's wallet address (truncated), and the reward amount in ORE. The banner remains visible at the top of the dashboard and is never automatically hidden - it continues to show the last round's results even when new rounds begin. This allows users to always see the most recent round outcome. If results aren't immediately available after a round ends, a loading state is shown indicating the system is waiting for results. When a motherlode is hit, the banner includes a celebratory confetti effect within the banner area.

Smart View

Grid layout showing all 25 tiles with their deployment information. Each tile displays SOL amount and miner count clearly. Tiles are colored with a subtle bottom border (green for below average, red for above average) to indicate deployment intensity relative to the average. Includes average statistics and legend. The bottom border also functions as a progress bar showing the round progress.

Mempool view

Visual representation of all confirmed bids for the current round, displayed as a treemap where each rectangle represents a bid proportional to its SOL amount. Shows on-chain confirmed miner deployments sorted by amount. Updated every 2 seconds during active rounds. Despite the name, this view shows confirmed on-chain data, not pending transactions from the mempool.

Price indicators

Shows current ORE/USD and SOL/USD prices in the header. Prices are fetched from Jupiter's price API and updated periodically.

Last refreshed

Indicates when the data was last successfully updated from the API. Helps users understand data freshness.

Refresh indicator

Visual indicator showing when the dashboard is actively fetching new data from the API. Also displays connection error states when the API is unavailable, with intelligent error detection that distinguishes between real outages and normal waiting periods (e.g., between rounds).

Acquisition cost rate

The acquisition cost rate is calculated as: (24/25 × 10%) + 1% = 10.6%. This represents the portion of deployed SOL that goes to fees (protocol revenue and admin fees) rather than being distributed to winners.

Assumed ORE per round

The dashboard assumes 1.2 ORE tokens are minted per round for economic calculations. This is an estimate used to calculate production costs and buyback volumes. Actual ORE minted per round may vary.

Round status values

• idle: Round has not started yet or status cannot be determined
• active: Round is currently in progress, mining window is open
• finished: Mining window has closed, but results may not be available yet
• expired: Round has finished and results are available, or round finished 10+ slots ago
