Basics of Core

Core is an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain powered by Bitcoin. It combines Ethereum’s composability with Bitcoin’s security using the Satoshi Plus consensus. This consensus model allows Bitcoin miners to delegate their hashing power to a Core validator and enables both Core and Bitcoin holders to stake and vote for validators.

Core Token

The Core token is the native token of the Core ecosystem. It is used for all gas fees on the network, staking, and on-chain governance.
