To solve blockchain network problems, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, has put forward a new open proposal to the community - he insists on forking the ORE protocol to conduct network stress tests.

In response to an earlier post by Chaofan Shaw, a UC Berkeley graduate student, about how he makes $10,000 every day from ORE mining, Yakovenko proposed the idea of stress testing Solana.

He provided some context before introducing ORE, a Solana-based token that uses a mining engine as a means of approval. Even though its installation depends on bloXroute and Jito Bundles, Yakovenko seems to think that everyone will be interested in forking it to make it more widespread.

In his message, he asked about the possibility of creating a fork of ORE using a miner on the Solana test network, and then distributing rewards on the main network.

The rationale for this proposal is clear, given that Solana's core developers are exploring several blockchain testnet options to ensure its long-term viability as part of a larger effort to alleviate current congestion issues.

According to Yakovenko, an ORE fork could attract thousands, if not millions, of users who would simultaneously provide the traffic needed to determine whether Solana has broken the congestion barrier.

For anyone interested in participating in the project, the creator of Solana has outlined the incentive associated with the ORE fork. While miners and testers will receive free monetizable tokens, Solana will undergo a much-requested stress test, and he has confirmed that the blockchain's core developers and all validators will support the move.
