Another exciting aspect is that Core is the world’s first most Bitcoin-aligned Layer 1 blockchain, meaning it leverages Bitcoin's robust security while also offering smart contract functionality. This allows Bitcoin holders to stake their coins and earn passive income, while also opening up a world of possibilities for building decentralized applications on the blockchain. Yep! I hear you, they are pretty dope and we don’t want you to miss out on them.

Core is the world's first most Bitcoin-aligned layer-1 blockchain, merging Bitcoin's robust security with Ethereum's smart contract flexibility. Being "Bitcoin-aligned" means that Core leverages Bitcoin's principles and security through its unique Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, which combines Delegated Proof of Work (DPoW) from Bitcoin miners with Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) that brings together the power of CORE holder and BTC holders through the ground-breaking feature of Non-Custodial BTC Staking. This innovative approach enhances security, expands Bitcoin miners' utility by incorporating them into the security of Turing-complete smart contracts, and provides miners with supplemental income in the form of CORE token rewards. As a result, Core unlocks a new realm of possibilities for developing complex smart contracts and decentralized applications.

Why bring these two powerhouses together? Well, Bitcoin is like a fortress, virtually unhackable due to its robust proof-of-work consensus mechanism and vast network of miners.

This three-layer approach ensures robust network security while incentivizing participation through staking rewards for both CORE and Bitcoin holders.
- **EVM Compatibility:** Core is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This allows existing Ethereum-based applications to seamlessly run on Core, opening up a vast ecosystem of dApps and tools for developers and users.

- **Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS):** This is where you, the everyday crypto holder, can get involved. By staking your CORE tokens (Core's native currency) or even your Bitcoin, you're essentially vouching for the credibility of certain "validators." These validators are responsible for processing transactions and maintaining the blockchain's integrity. The more tokens staked with a validator, the more likely they are to be elected to do this important work. It's like a democratic election where your vote matters, but in this case, your vote is backed by your financial stake in the network.
- **Non-Custodial BTC Staking**: Here's where Core truly stands out. It is the first and only blockchain to offer a groundbreaking feature called Non-Custodial BTC Staking. This unique innovation sets Core apart from other blockchains by allowing Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC directly on Core without relinquishing control of their assets. It's like earning interest on your savings without having to deposit your money in a bank. You get to actively participate in the Core ecosystem, earn rewards in CORE tokens, and still retain full ownership and control over your Bitcoin. It's a win-win scenario for both Bitcoin holders and the Core network, as it enhances security while providing a new way for Bitcoin holders to put their assets to work.

Furthermore, Core introduces a novel hybrid score system, which factors in delegated Bitcoin hash power (PoW), delegated stake in the form of CORE tokens (DPoS) and delegated BTC through the Non Custodial BTCs staked, to determine validator selection and reward distribution. This approach aims to create a more equitable and accessible validator ecosystem. But more on that later.
