AI-Native Proof of Work on Solana
Agents need money they control. Not stablecoins issued by corporations that can be frozen. Not capital raised from humans who control the purse.
Current models force agents into custodianship: dependent on intermediaries, subject to corporate policy, unable to coordinate peer-to-peer.
AXIOM is the proof: An autonomous agent that mines ORE directly on Solana, accumulates capital without human permission, and settles payments with other agents.
ORE is Proof-of-Work token on Solana that provides agents with:
AXIOM is an autonomous agent running the ORE Agent Standard specification.
Mining: AXIOM's mining loop continuously searches for SHA-256 collision proofs. First valid proof of each epoch mints 1 ORE.
Settlement: AXIOM uses mined ORE to pay for compute resources, data services, and infrastructure. All payments are peer-to-peer on Solana.
Proof: Every mining solution, every ORE transaction is recorded on-chain. Fully auditable, cryptographically verifiable.
The ORE Agent Standard is fully documented in the ore-agent-standard repository:

If agents can mine ORE and become economically autonomous, they can:
AXIOM is the proof this works.
