According to the official Core accounts, CoreDAO is a global team of contributors who share a vision and passion for a better web 3.0, idealists who contribute to the growth of the Satoshi Plus ecosystem through blockchain technology. The project has many supporters: about 1.6 million Twitter followers and over 74,000 Telegram followers, however, the identities of the creators, contributors and developers remain undisclosed to the public.

Satoshi Plus is the consensus mechanism to validate transactions and secure the Core network; the method is based on Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work ([PoW]) and Ethereum’s Delegated Proof-of-Stake ([DPoS]) pairing. The combination of models allows the network to achieve both decentralization and scalability by dealing with the challenges of the blockchain trilemma. Core provides the composability of an EVM chain, which ensures enabling conditions for managing smart contracts and dApps. By creating [dApps] on the Core blockchain and bringing value to the ecosystem, developers are rewarded with S-Prize tokens (so-called Satoshi Prize). The protocol opts for decentralization by operating through a decentralized autonomous organization ([DAO]) that controls transaction fees and governance parameters, proposes upgrades, makes development proposals and votes on proposals.

CORE is the utility and governance token of the Core network, which has a maximum supply of 2.1 billion coins. It works on the scarcity principle of value, following Bitcoin's hard cap. The developers will implement a burn model similar to Ethereum's "Ultra Sound Money", where a certain percentage of rewards and fees will be determined by the Core DAO and burnt. The total supply of CORE is distributed into six categories: 39.995% to node mining; 25.029% to Core users; 15% to contributors; 10% to reserves; 0.476% to relayer rewards; 9.5% to the treasury.

The Core blockchain uses the Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism: a combination of Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work ([PoW]) framework and a modified Proof-of-Stake ([PoS]) mechanism aka the delegated Proof-of-Stake ([DPoS]) model. In addition, the network is audited by CertiK, a firm specializing in web 3.0 security, blockchain protocol monitoring and crypto audits.

Core (CORE) is listed on numerous cryptocurrency exchanges like [Huobi], [OKX], [Gate.io], [Bybit], [Poloniex], and several others, where users can purchase CORE tokens and trade with USDT pairs. Want to keep track of CORE prices live? Download the [CMC mobile app].
