" summary

Core is an L1 fully EVM-compatible chain anchored to Bitcoin that claims to unlock trapped BTC liquidity by adding native yield, smart contracts and high throughput. It runs a hybrid consensus (time-locked non-custodial Bitcoin staking, delegated proof-of-work and delegated proof-of-stake), currently secures ~50% Bitcoin hash rate toward a “road to 100,” and launches an overcollateralized coreBTC enshrined bridge. Live products include yield-bearing BTC staking, an institutional Valor ETP partnership, Element wallet and Satoshi app integrations.
