Core is the first Bitcoin-aligned EVM blockchain, combining Bitcoin's unparalleled security with Ethereum's programmability through the innovative Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism. With 65%+ of Bitcoin's mining hash power contributing to Core's security, the network offers the unique proposition of Bitcoin-level security for smart contract applications.

Access Bitcoin-secured smart contracts
A Core RPC node provides applications with access to the first blockchain combining Bitcoin's security with EVM programmability. Core's Satoshi Plus consensus uniquely leverages Bitcoin miners and stakers to secure an EVM-compatible smart contract platform, creating a bridge between Bitcoin's $1.3T ecosystem and DeFi innovation.
Core solves a fundamental challenge: Bitcoin is the most secure blockchain but lacks smart contracts, while EVM chains have programmability but less security. Satoshi Plus consensus allows Bitcoin miners to simultaneously secure Core while mining Bitcoin, bringing Bitcoin-level security to smart contracts without compromising either network.
Core advantages:
Satoshi Plus combines three security sources: (1) Bitcoin miners delegating hash power, (2) Bitcoin holders staking BTC non-custodially, and (3) CORE token stakers. This triple security model creates unprecedented decentralization and resistance to attacks.
How Satoshi Plus works:
Core enables Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC to earn yield without moving Bitcoin off the Bitcoin network. This non-custodial mechanism uses Bitcoin's native multisig and timelocks, ensuring Bitcoin never leaves the Bitcoin blockchain — a revolutionary approach to Bitcoin DeFi.
This design makes Core the most Bitcoin-native smart contract platform, fundamentally aligned with Bitcoin's security model and ethos.
Quick start for developers
Core supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/core/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Verify we're on Core
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 1116
// Get CORE balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('CORE Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance));
// Interact with coreBTC (wrapped Bitcoin on Core)
const COREBTC = '0x...';
const btcABI = ['function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint256)'];
const coreBTC = new ethers.Contract(COREBTC, btcABI, provider);
const btcBalance = await coreBTC.balanceOf('0x...');
console.log('coreBTC:', ethers.formatUnits(btcBalance, 8));from web3 import Web3
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/core/YOUR_API_KEY'))
print('Connected to Core:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id) # 1116
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)
print('Gas price:', w3.eth.gas_price, 'wei')
# Get CORE balance
balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0x...')
print(f'CORE: {balance / 1e18}')const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/core/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Monitor new blocks
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
console.log(`Core block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});
// Monitor BTC staking events
const STAKING_CONTRACT = '0x...';
const filter = {
address: STAKING_CONTRACT,
topics: [ethers.id('BTCStaked(address,uint256,address)')]
};
provider.on(filter, (log) => {
console.log('Bitcoin staked on Core:', log);
