Core holds more than 2,900 BTC, leading Bitcoin finance
Core introduced the first live BTC staking protocol to the world and will lead Bitcoin finance. Core's mainnet has been live since January 2023, with BTC staking launching in early 2024. Core exclusively uses features that have existed since the early days of Bitcoin to secure BTC custody. BTC staking allows you to earn CORE block rewards through contributions to Satoshi Plus, the Core consensus mechanism, which enhances its security. Currently, there is no other risk-free way to earn BTC yield, making Core the creator of the risk-free rate in Bitcoin finance.

EVM Compatible: Built specifically for BTCfi.
BTC Re-staking: Supports Bitcoin Application Chain.
Bitcoin's Bond Layer: All key functions in one.
How Non-custodial BTC Staking Works
Core is completely non-custodial. BTC is not locked in Core’s smart contracts; rather, it is locked to Bitcoin using native functionality.
The staking protocol uses proven Bitcoin primitives to unlock yield opportunities without requiring new trust assumptions.
BTC stakers on Core are not penalized. Validators post collateral and can be penalized for their mistakes, but BTC delegators face no risk.
Core powers the first yield-generating BTC ETP created by Valour, a DeFi Technologies company. The ETP is open to institutional investors who can stake Core with BTC and earn CORE tokens.
Non-custodial BTC staking sets the risk-free rate for Bitcoin finance. Just as traditional finance follows the Federal Reserve’s interest rates, BTCfi follows Core’s BTC staking rewards.
Why use Core for staking?
BTC staking with Core helps secure the network by contributing to the Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism. In the future, BTC can be re-staked on cooperating blockchains through BTC re-staking. BTC staking rewards come from CORE block rewards paid over 81 years, as well as transaction fees. BTC stakers can also earn rewards from cooperating chains. BTC stakers earn CORE tokens, and can earn more through BTC re-staking.
Core's journey so far
Core was originally a Bitcoin-powered and EVM-compatible blockchain designed to give Bitcoin miners access to an end-to-end smart contract platform.
Its real-time non-custodial BTC staking feature allows BTC stakers to secure the core without losing custody. The ecosystem is full of BTC-centric financial protocols that can be used to dive deeper into DeFi.
there are more
Liquid BTC staking will allow BTC stakers to use their BTC on Bitcoin DeFi platforms while earning trustless yield. Since Lisk uses Satoshi Plus consensus, Core will offer BTC re-staking. BTC stakers can also access specialized Lisks for gaming, stablecoins, token issuance, and more.
Core’s multi-chain future
Core provides the best security for other chains through BTC staking. “Application chains” are specialized blockchains that need to bootstrap their security and user base. By extending Satoshi Plus to multiple chains, we can help application chains secure themselves through BTC staking, CORE staking, and BTC miner hash delegation.
Advantages of Application Chain
Shared security: Core validators protect core and partner application chains.
Seamless access: Core users can plug into the application chain to use specific utilities.
Improved User Experience: Access to a dedicated protocol enhances our user experience. Core is not only the first platform to enable live BTC staking, but also the best platform to lead Bitcoin finance into the future.
