Understanding SORA’s (XOR) Token Supply Explained
SORA’s 1:1,000,000 XOR repackaging explained — what changed, why it matters for token holders, and how to verify the live supply on Polkaswap.
💱 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 was reduced accordingly — real value didn’t change.
• Prices, market caps, and purchasing power remain identical; only the unit denomination shifted.
• This improves usability by bringing XOR into line with modern DeFi denomination standards.📅 Activation: Block 22,708,853 — 17:57 CET (October 2025)
How to Check the Live XOR Supply
You can verify XOR’s total and circulating supply directly from two official sources:
-
🔗 Polkaswap Stats Dashboard: https://polkaswap.io/#/stats
The Token Supply panel shows live mint, burn, and remit activity.
As of October 19, 2025, total supply stands at approximately 127.5 Q (pre-repackaging) — equivalent to 127.5 billion XOR in the new units. -
📘 Official SORA Wiki: wiki.sora.org/check-supply.html
Provides detailed instructions 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, simplifying accounting and aligning XOR’s precision with modern DeFi norms and Iroha 2 standards.
Previously, XOR had been redenominated 1 : 100 earlier in 2025.
This new 1 : 1 million update consolidates units even further and prepares the token for interoperability across SORA v3’s Hub Chain and external subnets.
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, ensuring 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 (Oct 2025): ≈ 127.5 Q (pre-repackaging) ≈ 127.5 billion XOR (post-repackaging)
- Circulating Supply: Estimated 4 – 6 % of total, with the remainder locked in governance, liquidity, or ecosystem reserves
- Denomination: Balances were divided by 1 million during the latest update
- Market Value: Unchanged — repackaging affects display units only
Just like a stock split, this adjustment improves usability while preserving every holder’s proportional value.
Transparency Through Data
SORA’s network offers live metrics via Polkaswap Stats and the SORA Wiki so users can independently confirm supply data.
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
| Feature | Traditional Fiat | SORA (XOR) |
|---|---|---|
| Supply Policy | Central-bank discretion | On-chain governance |
| Transparency | Limited | Public and auditable |
| Inflation Source | Debt creation | Algorithmic issuance |
| Accountability | Political | Decentralized votes |
| Adjustment Tools | Interest rates, QE | Bonding-curve mint/burn |
SORA reimagines economic management as a community-governed process — combining the precision of algorithmic control with democratic oversight.
Key Takeaways
- 1 : 1,000,000 repackaging finalized Oct 2025 — balances and total supply adjusted, value unchanged.
- Current total supply: ≈ 127.5 billion XOR (after repackaging).
- Circulating supply: ~ 4 – 6 % of total.
- 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.
FAQs
Why was XOR repackaged again?
To modernize unit denominations, simplify accounting, and align with Iroha 2’s precision standards ahead of SORA v3.
Does this change my holdings’ value?
No. It’s purely cosmetic — your proportional ownership and purchasing power remain identical.
How can I confirm total supply?
Visit Polkaswap Stats or follow the instructions on wiki.sora.org/check-supply.html to view the live on-chain total.
How is new supply created?
Through governance-approved allocations and bonding-curve minting; burns remove XOR when demand contracts.
How does this support SORA v3?
The new unit scale integrates cleanly with Hyperledger Iroha 2’s multi-asset precision, preparing XOR for interoperable CBDC and DeFi subnets.
Conclusion
The 2025 XOR repackaging marks 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.
