Core
Announcements
Core is a hyper-scalable smart contract platform designed to complement Bitcoin, serving as its first Proof of Stake (PoS) layer and the largest Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. By merging Bitcoin’s unmatched security with the scalability of the innovative Satoshi Plus consensus, Core expands Bitcoin’s capabilities while preserving its core principles of decentralization and security. With approximately 75% of Bitcoin mining hash power already contributing to Core’s security model and over 8,200 BTC staked through Non-Custodial Bitcoin Staking, Core strengthens Bitcoin's role as both the prime protector and central asset of the future of DeFi. Core's Dual Staking model further empowers Bitcoin holders to earn secure and sustainable yields by staking both BTC and CORE, all while retaining full control and ownership of their assets.
About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
