Lode — Terms of Use

Last updated 8 November 2026 · lodeore.xyz · Privacy Policy

What Lode is

Lode is a tool that mines ORE on the Solana blockchain on your behalf. You deposit SOL into your own on-chain mining account (an "autominer") that is created and governed by the ORE program, not by Lode. Lode's automated keeper enters your SOL into ORE mining rounds when its strategy judges that mining is a better deal than buying ORE at the market price, and an AI ("the Foreman") adjusts that strategy over time. Lode is offered as the website lodeore.xyz and as a mobile app.

Lode never holds your money

• Your deposit sits in your own autominer account, tied to your wallet. Lode is not its owner and cannot withdraw from it.
• Only you, signing with your own wallet, can withdraw your SOL or claim your ORE. You can do so at any time.
• Lode's keeper is authorized only to enter your SOL into ORE mining rounds and settle the results.

Fees

Lode charges a small fee on each mining round it enters for you, taken from the amount mined that round. The current fee is shown in the app before you deposit. Your wallet also pays normal Solana network fees when you deposit, withdraw or claim.

The risks, plainly

• Mining uses real SOL. ORE rounds are random: most rounds, part or all of the SOL entered into a round is lost, and winnings are never guaranteed.
• The value of SOL and ORE moves constantly and can fall sharply. You can end up with less than you put in — including much less.
• The strategy and the Foreman try to mine only when the odds look favorable, but they rely on live market data and cannot promise a profit. Past results do not predict future ones.
• Solana transactions are final. There are no refunds, reversals or chargebacks.
• Smart contracts, including the ORE program and Solana itself, can have bugs or outages beyond our control.

Only deposit SOL you can afford to lose.

Who may use Lode

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to use a service like this where you live. You are responsible for following your local laws, including tax rules. Do not use Lode where it would be against the law.

No financial advice

Nothing in Lode — including the Foreman's hourly notes and any statistics shown — is financial, investment or tax advice. It is an automated tool acting on the settings and strategy described in the app.

Service, as is

Lode is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We may change, pause or discontinue the service at any time; your funds remain in your own on-chain account and stay withdrawable by you with your wallet regardless of Lode's status. To the fullest extent allowed by law, our liability to you is limited to the fees you paid Lode in the three months before the claim arose.

Independence

Lode is an independent project built on the public ORE protocol. It is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by ORE (Regolith Labs), Solana Labs or Solana Mobile.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the "last updated" date above will change when we do, and continued use after a change means you accept it. Questions: see the support contact on our store listing or website.
