CORE Bitcoin pledge: How to make idle BTC generate revenue through the Core network
Bitcoin has been idle in the wallet for a long time and cannot generate any revenue.@ Coredao_Org is trying to change this. Through its self-custodial pledge mechanism,$BTC holders can let their coins work on the Bitcoin network and receive $CORE rewards without having to surrender control of the assets during the entire process.
How Bitcoin Pledge Works on the Core Network
This mechanism relies on Bitcoin's native CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) opcode. Bitcoin holders do not need to wrap, cross-chain bridge or relinquish custody rights. They only need to lock a specific number of BTC for a period of time to complete the native pledge.
During the lock-up period, these coins remain on the Bitcoin blockchain, but cannot be used. After the lock-up period ends, the holder can regain full access to the asset. The Core protocol detects valid CLTV timelocks and allocates CORE rewards based on the performance of the verification node and the number of bitcoin pledges supported.
Dual pledge and four-tier reward system
Only users who pledge Bitcoin can receive rewards, but the yield is the lowest. Double pledge can significantly increase the level of income.
Dual Pledge is an upgraded version of the Core self-managed Bitcoin Pledge mechanism, allowing users to pledge Bitcoin and CORE at the same time, unlocking higher revenue levels. The higher the pledge ratio between CORE and BTC, the higher the level of income that can be obtained.
Under the dual pledge model, based on the pledge ratio of CORE to BTC, Bitcoin pledge can be divided into three levels of revenue improvement. For independent pledgers who only pledge bitcoin, there is a fourth level, with the lowest bitcoin pledge yield.
According to Core's integration documentation, the current hierarchical structure is roughly divided into: benchmark layer for users who only pledge BTC, and Boost layer, Super layer and Satoshi layer for users who achieve a higher CORE to BTC ratio.
It should be emphasized that these thresholds are not fixed. The pledge ratio and the number of levels can be adjusted through governance voting, and there are precedents. Following a successful governance vote, Core's dual pledge level requirements have been updated to further strengthen Bitcoin's collaboration with Core and improve rewards for active participants. This adjustment increases the number of COREs required for each BTC to reach higher revenue levels.
Level thresholds will dynamically adjust based on network conditions, and higher levels will unlock larger reward multipliers. The reward rate for Bitcoin pledges will also fluctuate daily due to fluctuations in token prices and overall market changes, so the actual income at each level is not guaranteed to be constant.
For Bitcoin holders who are also willing to hold $CORE, this system aims to reward them for their deep investment in the Core ecosystem by significantly increasing the return on their pledge of BTC.
