SORA’s XOR Token Supply and Denomination Explained

💱 XOR Token Repackaging Successful! The SORA Network underwent a token denomination update. Each existing 1 XOR was repackaged into 0.000001 XOR (1 : 1,000,000).

💰 What this means: • Holders saw their XOR balances divided by 1,000,000. • The total supply figures on dashboards were scaled down by the same factor — real economic value didn’t change. • Prices, market caps, and purchasing power remain identical; only the unit denomination and displayed numbers shifted. • This improves usability by bringing XOR into line with modern DeFi denomination standards.

📅 Activation: Block 22,708,853 — 17:57 CET (October 2025)

SORA’s native token XOR has an elastic supply managed by on-chain governance and a token bonding curve, rather than a fixed cap. This article explains how the 1 : 1,000,000 denomination update changed the unit scale and displayed numbers without changing anyone’s real value. It also shows how to check live XOR supply data via Polkaswap and the SORA Wiki, and how these mechanics fit into SORA’s broader economic design.

TL;DR

As of October 2025, SORA repackaged XOR’s on-chain units by a factor of 1 : 1,000,000, so balances and total supply values displayed in wallets and dashboards changed in scale — but underlying economic value and proportional ownership did not. XOR’s supply remains elastic, managed by a token bonding curve and on-chain governance rather than a fixed issuance schedule. Live supply figures should always be checked via Polkaswap Stats and the SORA Wiki, since the bonding curve and governance can adjust supply over time. This denomination step also prepares XOR for future SORA v3 accounting precision and interoperability.

🪙 XOR Denomination Repackaging (TXOR)

SORA has completed a major technical milestone — a denomination repackaging that modernizes XOR’s on-chain representation while keeping its public identity unchanged.

Each 1,000,000 previous XOR units is now represented internally as 1 TXOR on-chain, but the token continues to be displayed and traded everywhere as XOR. This preserves every holder’s total value across wallets, pools, and contracts while simplifying backend precision for the SORA Network.

What Changed

• Wallets and exchanges still display XOR, but the underlying on-chain denomination has shifted to TXOR units.
• The network’s accounting system is now cleaner and more efficient for DEX operations, governance, and future integrations.
• Balances, prices, and market caps remain economically identical — only the internal unit representation and visible scale changed.

Why It Matters

• Better clarity: Less confusing decimals for on-chain operations and accounting.
• Improved compatibility: Simplifies listings, cross-chain bridges, and Iroha integration (SORA v2 uses Iroha 2; SORA v3 will migrate to Iroha 3).
• Future-proof design: Lays the groundwork for next-generation DeFi scaling and SORA v3’s hub-and-subnet architecture.

This update marks a key milestone in SORA’s technical evolution — improving usability while maintaining XOR’s established branding and economic role.

⚙️ Validator & Fee Update: SORA Network v4.7.1

Following the denomination transition, the SORA team released Network v4.7.1, introducing crucial fee reductions and validator improvements to enhance usability.

Key Highlights

• 🪙 Fee Reduction: Transaction fees were recalibrated to more practical levels — making SORA accessible again for everyday users.
• ⚙️ Validator Update: Node operators were asked to upgrade, restart nodes, and verify telemetry to stay in sync with the network.
• 🌐 Release Details: Implementation details are documented in the official SORA Network repository: sora-xor/sora2-network v4.7.1 release notes.

As the developers humorously noted:

“Fees have been reduced so you don’t need to be Elon Musk — or a follower of Klaus Schwab — to use the SORA Network.”

This lighthearted acknowledgment highlights SORA’s community-driven governance — transparent, adaptive, and responsive when fine-tuning the network’s economy.

How to Check the Live XOR Supply

You can verify XOR’s total and circulating supply directly from two official sources:

• 🔗 Polkaswap Stats Dashboard Open the live dashboard at polkaswap.io/#/stats. The Token Supply panel shows live mint, burn, and remit activity. As of October 22, 2025, total supply stood at approximately 245.22 trillion XOR (after the denomination update). Always refer to the latest numbers on Polkaswap, as XOR’s elastic supply can change over time.

• 📘 Official SORA Wiki — Check Supply Guide Read the step-by-step guide at wiki.sora.org/check-supply.html. It provides detailed instructions, consistent with the SORA Docs “Check Supply” guide, on how to confirm on-chain data using explorers or the SORA CLI tools.

Why the Repackaging Matters

SORA’s economy is built around transparent, rule-based monetary governance. The repackaging didn’t change anyone’s actual value — it only adjusted the unit scale and how balances and supply values are displayed, simplifying accounting and aligning XOR’s precision with modern DeFi norms. SORA v2 uses Iroha 2 standards, and SORA v3 (Nexus) will migrate to Iroha 3.

Previously, XOR had been redenominated 1 : 100 earlier in 2025. This new 1 : 1,000,000 update consolidates units even further and prepares the token for interoperability across SORA v3’s Hub Chain and future subnets, which are being designed to benefit from more precise accounting and interoperability.

Understanding XOR’s Token Supply Model

SORA treats its token supply as a governance-directed instrument — dynamically managed through transparent smart contracts rather than fixed issuance.

1. Elastic Supply, Transparent Governance

XOR supply expands or contracts via on-chain proposals and economic modules. Parliament and community votes determine when to mint, burn, or allocate new tokens, helping to ensure democratic monetary control.

2. Token Bonding Curve (TBC)

The Token Bonding Curve algorithm adjusts supply in response to demand. When users buy XOR, tokens are minted; when sold, they’re burned. This keeps liquidity balanced without arbitrary inflation.

3. Utility Beyond Speculation

XOR powers the SORA economy by serving as:

• A transaction medium for network fees
• A governance token for proposals and Treasury funding
• The base asset for Polkaswap liquidity
• The unit of account for assets such as KUSD on the Kensetsu Platform

The design focuses on economic utility, not speculative scarcity.

Why the Numbers Look Large

Community discussions often focus on the size of the XOR supply. Here’s what those numbers actually mean:

• Current Total Supply (as of October 2025): ≈ 245.22 trillion XOR (subject to change as elastic supply adjusts)
• Circulating Supply: Estimated 4 – 6 % of total at that time, with the remainder locked in governance, liquidity, or ecosystem reserves
• Market Value: Unchanged — denomination affects display units and numeric scale, not underlying economic value

Just like a stock split, this adjustment improves usability while preserving every holder’s proportional value.

Transparency Through Data

SORA’s network provides live supply metrics through Polkaswap Stats, while the SORA Wiki explains how users can independently verify this data on-chain. The dashboard also tracks:

• Mint (Remint) – new XOR issued through bonding-curve logic
• Burns – tokens removed from supply
• Net Supply Trend – real-time change in total supply

This transparency is rare among blockchain projects and underscores SORA’s commitment to auditable, data-driven governance.

SORA vs. Traditional Systems

SORA reimagines economic management as a community-governed process — combining the precision of algorithmic control with democratic oversight.

Key Takeaways

• 1 : 1,000,000 denomination finalized in October 2025 — balances and total supply display units were adjusted, but value and proportional ownership remained unchanged.
• Current total supply (as of October 2025): ≈ 245.22 trillion XOR, with live values available via Polkaswap Stats.
• Circulating supply (as of October 2025): ~ 4 – 6 % of total, with the remainder in governance, liquidity, or ecosystem reserves.
• SORA Network v4.7.1 reduced fees and improved validator stability — see the GitHub release notes for full details.
• Live stats available via Polkaswap.io and wiki.sora.org/check-supply.html.
• Governance & bonding-curve mechanisms maintain equilibrium transparently.
• SORA v3 Hub Chain introduces new accounting precision and interoperability for future subnets and CBDC-style assets.

Conclusion

The 2025 denomination update and SORA Network v4.7.1 release mark another milestone in SORA’s evolution toward a transparent, mathematically governed economy. While raw numbers may appear massive, each adjustment improves usability and long-term precision without changing real value.

For the most accurate picture, always check live data directly from Polkaswap.io or the official SORA Wiki — and remember: In SORA, supply follows governance and utility — not speculation.
