Question 1

What is OORT?

Accepted Answer

OORT is the utility token of OORT's decentralized AI data cloud. The network uses the native Layer 1, Olympus Protocol, as its foundation, serving AI data collection, organization, processing, storage, and related resource coordination; the OORT token is used for payments, staking, and governance in this ecosystem.

Question 2

What can OORT be used for?

Accepted Answer

OORT can be used to pay for ecosystem services. Official materials state that users can also pay for some services with fiat methods such as credit cards; paying with OORT generally provides a discount, so token and fiat payments are parallel paths rather than all services requiring the token. Specific discounts and applicable service scope depend on the rules of the relevant product.

Question 3

Can holders participate in staking with OORT?

Accepted Answer

OORT can be delegated to node providers through a bonding pool. Delegated tokens are used by node providers as mining collateral; in return, delegators share a portion of that provider's mining rewards. This differs from operating a node yourself: self-operated nodes must provide computing, storage, or bandwidth resources and participate with their own collateral, whereas delegators do not directly take on the role of running a node. The reward share depends on the actual performance and rules of the node provider and pool, and a fixed yield cannot be assumed.

Question 4

What is the role of OORT governance?

Accepted Answer

OORT governance is used to decide network-layer matters such as network parameters, slashing mechanisms, and service fees. Users can submit proposals and vote; submitting a proposal requires a deposit, which is fully returned if the proposal passes and goes into the mining reward pool for node providers if it does not pass. This deposit arrangement makes the proposal result directly determine where the deposit goes: it is neither a voting reward nor an ordinary transfer fee. Specific proposal eligibility, deposit amount, and voting procedures remain subject to the rules in force in the governance system at that time.

Question 5

How are OORT Edge node rewards released?

Accepted Answer

OORT Edge node rewards reserve 400 million OORT and are released in stages: the first stage contains 200 million OORT, and the total allocation for each subsequent stage is half that of the preceding stage. The system automatically enters the next stage only after a stage's entire allocation has been distributed; thus, the “halving” is triggered by exhaustion of the stage allocation, rather than a switch based solely on calendar dates. The official first-stage daily output per node is 2.875 OORT, while the second-stage example is 1.4375 OORT; subsequent stages continue to decline under this relationship. How long a stage lasts also depends on the number of active nodes: if per-node output rules remain unchanged, more active nodes exhaust the stage's total allocation more quickly.

Question 6

How was the 800 million OORT miner allocation subsequently handled?

Accepted Answer

The 800 million OORT originally allocated to miners had been planned to unlock gradually over five years beginning September 15, 2024; following a community vote, this allocation was formally designated for burning on April 23, 2025. The implementation does not treat the entire still-locked allocation as immediately circulating tokens; instead, any portion is burned immediately once it reaches its originally scheduled unlock time. This is a separate supply path from the 400 million OORT still used for OORT Edge node rewards and released in stages.

Question 7

What are the respective roles of OORT Edge, DataHub, and Olympus Protocol?

Accepted Answer

OORT DataHub is for collecting, organizing, processing, and monetizing AI data; OORT Edge provides decentralized storage and data-processing infrastructure. In other words, the former is the data workflow and service layer, while the latter is the node network that provides the resources required for such work. Olympus Protocol is the underlying Layer 1 that connects global cloud and edge devices, and coordinates node resources and node behavior through its Proof of Honesty validation layer. Once node providers contribute storage, computing, or bandwidth, Edge can provide foundational resources for services such as DataHub.
