Core (CORE) is built as an L1 blockchain that is compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), therefore it can run Ethereum smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). The Core network is powered by the “Satoshi Plus” consensus mechanism, which secures the network through a combination of delegated Bitcoin's mining hash and delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS). The protocol is backed by its native token, CORE.The developers of the project strive to create an infrastructure that operates at the core of web 3.0, offering revolutionary ideas to solve the blockchain trilemma.The mainnet was launched in January 2023. The blockchain is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), where the Core DAO is responsible for the development of the Satoshi Plus ecosystem.
