About
Core is a Layer 1 blockchain network designed to integrate Bitcoin security and liquidity with Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility. The network operates on the Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, which combines Delegated Proof of Work, Delegated Proof of Stake, and Non-Custodial Bitcoin Staking. Under this architecture, Bitcoin miners delegate hash power, token holders delegate native assets, and Bitcoin owners timelock Bitcoin to elect high-performance network validators. Core facilitates decentralized finance applications, cross-chain yield generation, and smart contract execution while enabling Bitcoin holders to earn native staking rewards without relinquishing custody of their underlying assets. The network utilizes its native utility token for transaction gas fees, governance voting, and validator staking rewards.

Operations
Products and/or services of Core
- Bitcoin Staking Protocol: A native yield mechanism enabling Bitcoin holders to earn network rewards by locking Bitcoin on the Bitcoin blockchain using CheckLockTimeVerify time locks, preserving full self-custody while delegating voting weight to elected validators.
- Hybrid Consensus Architecture: A consensus system combining Delegated Proof of Work, Delegated Proof of Stake, and non-custodial Bitcoin staking, allowing Bitcoin miners, token delegators, and Bitcoin lockers to jointly elect network validators and secure block production.
- Layer 1 Network Infrastructure: An Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible smart contract platform providing high-throughput transaction execution with median gas fees under one cent, enabling developers to deploy decentralized finance, gaming, and decentralized application protocols.
- Staking Yield Optimizer: A protocol feature that combines non-custodial Bitcoin staking with native token staking, granting higher reward yield multipliers based on the ratio of staked native tokens to locked Bitcoin across structured reward tiers.
- Miner Hash Power Delegation: An integration framework allowing Bitcoin miners to attach validator election votes within Bitcoin block coinbase transaction metadata, earning supplemental token rewards alongside standard Bitcoin block rewards without diverting existing hash power.
- Decentralized Application Ecosystem: A suite of decentralized financial protocols built on the network, supporting yield generation, liquidity routing, cross-chain asset bridging, and decentralized exchange trading backed by locked Bitcoin capital and native liquidity pools.
