Core is a Turing-complete blockchain that uses the Bitcoin mining hashrate along with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Satoshi Plus uses a protocol-guided validator selection process to blend the best aspects of Proof of Work (PoW) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), aiming to strengthen security, scalability, and decentralization. The Satoshi Plus consensus integrates Proof ofWork (PoW) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), drawing on each approach’s advantages while addressing their individual limitations. In particular, Bitcoin’s computing power supports decentralization, while the DPoS and leadership election mechanisms are designed to improve scalability-together maintaining network security as a whole.

In line with Bitcoin’s sound money approach, CORE has a fixed maximum supply of 2.1 billion tokens. Beyond that hard cap, a share of block rewards and transaction fees will be destroyed in a manner comparable to Ethereum’s “Ultra Sound Money” concept. The specific burn percentage will be set by the DAO. All CORE holders can take part in staking by delegating their tokens to a validator.
