Staking workflow

What is the staking process?

CORE staking is comparable to other dPOS chains. Once the delegation happens, CORE tokens will be attributed to a chosen operator. Core DAO’s methodology for integrating bitcoin staking centers on CLTV timelock. Basically, when users stake their BTC, they send a transaction to themselves, with a native timelock enforced on the output. Users can redeem the BTC after the timelock has ended (see image above).

You can find more details about Bitcoin Native Staking here.

What is the reward claim process?

NOTE: Ensure you have some CORE in your wallet to pay gas fees for the initial rewards claim.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency as the reward distribution (every round).
