Core employs the Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, a tripartite system that integrates Delegated Proof of Work, Self-Custodial Bitcoin Staking, and Delegated Proof of Stake. Through this mechanism, Bitcoin miners, Bitcoin stakers, and CORE token holders delegate resources to elect 31 validators who secure the network. Each round lasts one day, with 3-second block slots and on-chain governance for parameter adjustments.
