what's core?

Core DAO is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain designed to integrate Bitcoin with DeFi, enabling self-custodial staking for yield generation while maintaining full user control. It employs the Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, blending Proof-of-Work security from Bitcoin with Proof-of-Stake efficiency for scalable smart contract applications. The platform fosters a decentralized ecosystem through its DAO governance, supporting dApps in lending, exchanges, and restaking to unlock Bitcoin's potential in Web3.
