Core is a novel layer one blockchain that is pushing the boundaries within the crypto space. Inspired by Bitcoin and Ethereum, Core progresses beyond those blockchain behemoths by synthesizing each of their superpowers.
A student of blockchain history, philosophy, and innovation, Core optimally balances decentralization, security, and scalability.
Without Core’s advancements, crypto has been plagued by the “Blockchain Trilemma,” which states that decentralization, security, and scalability can never be achieved simultaneously. Tackling the Trilemma head-on, Core DAO contributors have designed a unique consensus mechanism known as Satoshi Plus, which marries the decentralization and security of Bitcoin’s Proof of Work (PoW) with the scalability of Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS).
With Satoshi Plus consensus, both Bitcoin miners and CORE token holders can participate in network security by delegating their BTC hash power and staked CORE to a decentralized set of validators. With Bitcoin’s decentralization and DPoS’ scalability, validators on Core can securely and quickly produce blocks and validate transactions. Given this ingenious synthesis of blockchain principles, Core DAO contributors must now be considered thought leaders in blockchain innovation.
