We need to understand @Coredao_Org team , @richrines@BrendonSedo tell us the truth about this $CORE issues , #CORETOSHIS , raise your voice! we buy , hold , stake , we trust you
We need more clarification about it!
$CORE is dying slowly!
The v1.0.26 hardfork is now live on Core mainnet and the reward issuance issue is resolved.
The upgrade closed the vulnerability and burned 150M+ CORE of excess issuance, removing it from supply permanently. No transactions were rolled back and no user funds were lost. We expect staking rewards to return to normal within 48 hours. A full post-mortem will follow.
Core routes part of its gas fees back to the apps that generate them
On most chains, the app that brings the users never sees a cent of the gas fees those users pay.
Core (@Coredao_Org) splits them instead. Under its Rev+ program, a share of transaction fees routes to builders, stablecoin issuers, and DAOs, either in real time with each transaction or through a monthly pooled coredaoorg:native payout.
Pool shares are scored on transaction count, new addresses, value moved, and fees generated. The plumbing arrived at the protocol level with the Theseus hardfork in June 2025.
Joining is opt-in: contracts enter through a governance proposal, and users interacting with configured contracts can pay slightly higher gas, per Core's own guidelines.
Your bitcoin:native never leaves the Bitcoin blockchain, and it still earns. That's the mechanism behind @Coredao_Org's dual staking, with four tiers from Base to Satoshi depending on how much $CORE sits next to it ⬇️

Did you know staking CORE can boost what your Bitcoin earns?
Bitcoin holders can earn CORE rewards on @Coredao_Org by timelocking coins, locking them on the Bitcoin network for a set period without giving up custody. The rate those coins earn is not fixed.
Dual Staking sorts Bitcoin stakers into four tiers. Staking $CORE alongside the Bitcoin lifts a user into one of three boosted levels, while Bitcoin-only stakers sit at the base rate. The deciding factor is the ratio of CORE staked to Bitcoin staked.
Per Core's documentation, those ratios and the tier count are not permanent; both can change by a governance vote, and the requirements have shifted before.
Core DEX Volume is gaining traction once again...
Activity on the @Coredao_Org blockchain has been a huge talking point in the past week.
This time, DEX volume on the chain has gotten a major boost.
Per DeFillama, volume on Core-based DEXes has increased by over 700%, representing a significant surge.
With over $100K in weekly traded volume and nearly 10,000 active accounts in the past 24 hours, the Core blockchain ecosystem is increasingly gaining traction.
Bitcoin miners help elect Core validators without mining a second chain
Miners keep mining Bitcoin exactly as usual, but to back a @Coredao_Org validator, they add one line to the transaction in the "op_return" field, which pays out each block's mining reward and provides a small space for arbitrary data.
That line names the validator they support and an address for coredaoorg:native payouts, giving miners a second reward stream on top of their bitcoin:native without any extra computation, per Core's docs.
Core recalculates validator scores daily using delegation data from one week prior, one of three inputs alongside staked CORE and time-locked Bitcoin.
How Core lets Bitcoin holders vote for validators without giving up their coins
Bitcoin holders can back @Coredao_Org validators by locking coins with CLTV, Bitcoin's native timelock feature. The bitcoin:native stays in the holder's wallet, though it cannot be spent until the lock expires.
Relayers scan the Bitcoin network for those locks, read the validator choice embedded in the transaction, and update election weights on Core accordingly. Rewards arrive in $CORE, scaled to the amount locked and the validator's performance.
When a lock expires, the vote and the rewards stop with it. Core's docs state there is no auto-renewal, so continued participation means a fresh timelock each time.
Core, the Bitcoin-first chain, and how it’s trying to stretch BTC’s usefulness
Core DAO (@CoreDAO_Org) brands itself as “The Bitcoin Everything Chain.” The pitch is simple: take Bitcoin’s strengths and push them beyond the usual buy-and-hold story.
The protocol centers on one main idea: BTC shouldn’t sit still. Core wants idle Bitcoin to earn, but without giving up the properties people care about most: safety, decentralization, and full self-custody.
To get there, Core leans on a mix of Satoshi Plus, timelocks, and a quick Layer 1 EVM chain. Satoshi Plus folds in Delegated Proof of Work (so Bitcoin miners can participate), self-custodial Bitcoin staking, and staking of the $CORE token.
Core frames the relationship with Bitcoin as mutualistic. It borrows security and incentive alignment from Bitcoin, then tries to send value back through extra miner rewards, trustless yield opportunities for BTC holders, and infrastructure that makes it easier for Bitcoin products to plug in and scale.
Key ways Core aims to expand Bitcoin utility:
1.) Self-custodial Bitcoin staking
Lock BTC with timelocks directly on the Bitcoin network (CLTV) and earn CORE yield, no wrapping, no bridges, and no handing custody to anyone else.
2.) Dual staking
Stake $BTC and $CORE together to reach higher yield tiers.
3.) Tapping Bitcoin’s hash power
Miners can delegate hash power to earn extra CORE rewards, while Core itself is secured using a majority share of Bitcoin’s hash rate.
4.) The “Bitcoin Power Grid”
A set of rails Bitcoin products can connect to, built around yield, collateral, payments, and DeFi use cases.
5.) Scalable Bitcoin DeFi
An EVM-compatible network designed for faster, cheaper BTCFi apps.
6.) Two-way value flow
The goal is to strengthen Bitcoin’s security budget over time, while also turning dormant BTC into something that can actively do work.
In plain terms, Core DAO’s broader mission is to make Bitcoin more productive without piling on trust assumptions, converting energy and capital tied up in Bitcoin into yield, DeFi activity, and scalable infrastructure.
CORE price looks to have woken up... Maybe
After a positive showing in activity, @Coredao_Org's native $CORE token looks to have made some progress.
According to CoinGecko data, CORE's price has been in the green zone for the past 7 days. The last time CORE saw a significant price surge was in April, roughly three months ago.
However, CORE is still down nearly 20% over the past 30 days.
On the bright side, DEX volume has also surged over the same period.
There’s Crazy Activity on Core DAO!
Even as the price of @Coredao_Org's $CORE token and TVL continue to slide, there’s another set of data points suggesting something else might be happening under the hood.
One protocol in particular is taking the growth crown: @SumerMoney, which saw TVL grow by +501% over the last 30 days to $46,929.
Although still very low, it is the fastest-growing protocol.
Daily active users are growing as well, up 4.4% to a weekly average of ~9,163/day, compared to ~8,776/day the previous week.
And finally, DEX volume has defied the trend altogether, growing by 26.6% over 30 days.
Core has run at 100% uptime while Bitcoin products plugged in and started generating real revenue.
Continuous operation is the prerequisite for all of it.
What has happened to the CORE token?
The @Coredao_Org native $CORE asset recently hit an all-time low, precisely on July 28. At that point, CORE traded at $0.01678.
Fast forward to the time of writing, the asset has surged 7%, with trading volume increasing in the past 24 hours.
Presently, Core is not at the center of attention, but the protocol is still building its ecosystem, with SatPay leading Bitcoin DeFi.
CORE has a permanently fixed supply of 2.1 billion tokens.
CORE is used for staking, Dual Staking, gas, collateral, and more.
As demand for CORE grows, its supply remains fixed.
