An EVM-compatible, Bitcoin-aligned Layer 1, Core uses Satoshi Plus to combine BTC hash power and staking, enabling non-custodial BTC staking, low fees, and fast finality.
Core Blockchain is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 secured by Satoshi Plus consensus, which blends delegated Bitcoin mining hash power with delegated proof of stake; its native currency is CORE. It powers BTC-aligned DeFi (BTCfi), cross-chain bridging and settlement, low-fee payments, gaming, and NFTs. Fees are typically under $0.01 with ~3s block times and hundreds of TPS, making it suitable for high-throughput bridge and dApp activity (check the Core explorer for live metrics).
Core is unique in anchoring EVM execution to Bitcoin via Satoshi Plus: validator selection combines CORE staking with delegated Bitcoin hash power, enhancing security relative to purely PoS EVM chains. It preserves full Ethereum tooling while delivering sub-cent gas, ~3s blocks, and hundreds-TPS throughput—comparable to leading EVM L1s—plus Bitcoin-aligned security and BTC staking integrations (e.g., Babylon) that most competitors lack.
Core Blockchain uses CORE as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain CORE by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge CORE to Core Blockchain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Core Blockchain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Core Blockchain you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Core Blockchain to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send CORE on Core Blockchain, ensure your wallet is connected to the Core Blockchain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of CORE to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
