What is Core?
Bitcoin-linked validator selection
Bitcoin miners can delegate hashpower to support Core validators. Bitcoin holders can vote by timelocking coins on Bitcoin itself. CORE holders contribute through delegated proof of stake. The selected validators produce blocks on the separate Core blockchain. This arrangement does not turn Bitcoin into Core's gas token. Developers can deploy Ethereum-style contracts and tools. CORE pays transaction charges. Staking also connects holders with the network's validator selection.
Long-duration issuance
Core's tokenomics specifies a 2.1-billion maximum supply. Mining rewards account for 39.995% of the allocation. Users receive 25.029% and contributors receive 15%. Reserves receive 10%; treasury receives 9.5%. Relayer rewards account for the remaining 0.476%. Mining emissions extend over 81 years. The schedule reduces annual emissions by 3.61%. Core also provides for burning part of transaction charges. Governance determines the burn parameters.
