Core is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain secured by the Bitcoin network. Through the Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, it integrates Bitcoin staking, Delegated Proof of Work (DPoW), and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC in a non-custodial manner to earn yields and participate in network governance, while Bitcoin miners can delegate their hash power to validators. The CORE token is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance voting.

About Core
Core DAO has achieved several milestones with long-term significance. The first Bitcoin staking ETP, powered by Core, was listed on the London Stock Exchange, offering 1.4% yield on BTC holdings and marking a major step for Bitcoin staking in traditional finance. The Core Fusion upgrade was completed, redefining Bitcoin staking and Bitcoin finance by introducing Dual Staking and LstBTC, a liquid staking token that enhances capital efficiency. The Core Commit Program was launched to fund and support early-stage projects, fostering ecosystem growth. Abdoulaye Ndiaye was appointed as a research advisor, bringing academic rigor to protocol development. Core executives announced plans to launch a Bitcoin yield ETF in the U.S. within five years, signaling long-term institutional ambitions. Additionally, the proposal to expand validators to 31 by Q2 2025 was approved, improving decentralization and network resilience. These developments collectively position Core as a leading Bitcoin-aligned EVM blockchain, bridging Bitcoin security with DeFi innovation.
Positive:
The 2026 roadmap focuses on revenue and buybacks: BTC DeFi fees and SatPay (built with Mobilum) consumer use cases are expected to drive CORE demand.
The Sept 3 emergency hard fork fixed validator over-rewards and resumed staking rewards; trading volume surged 170% in 24 hours and the price rose about 4%.
The burn mechanism is still active: a portion of block rewards and transaction fees is burned each round, and block rewards decrease by 3.61% annually.
Negative:
In early September, a validator reward over-issuance incident led Coinbase, Bithumb, and others to suspend CORE deposits/withdrawals; the amount and supply impact remain undisclosed.
The whitepaper states the burn mechanism will be phased out, with future deflation relying mainly on buybacks and reduced emissions, weakening near-term deflation expectations.
Core DAO's core contributors include Brendon Sedo (Initial Contributor, former CEO of Joist, a Nasdaq-listed company), CJ Reim (Initial Contributor, founded Amity Ventures in 2017), and Rich Rines (Contributor, former Coinbase engineer, founder of Element Wallet and AutoReach). These individuals are not officially titled as co-founders but are recognized as founding contributors. Current core executives are not publicly disclosed beyond these contributors. For accurate and up-to-date leadership details, refer to official channels.
Core recently underwent a significant team change: Head of Institutional Hong Sun departed in June 2026, ending nearly two years of service since August 2024. During his tenure, he led key initiatives such as the institutional Bitcoin yield platform Core Alpha and the revenue-sharing program RevPlus, helping establish Core as a leading Bitcoin sidechain. Following his departure, Hong Sun joined zerohash, a digital asset infrastructure firm, as VP of Enterprise Sales in July 2026. This transition may impact the continuity of Core's institutional business strategy going forward.
