Supply caps based on Bitcoin
Core DAO's design of the supply structure of its native tokens clearly pays tribute to Bitcoin.
The supply limit of CORE tokens is 2.1 billion, which is exactly 100 times the 21 million limit of Bitcoin, imitating Bitcoin's scarcity model.
According to official Core documents, this correspondence is deliberate and aims to position the network as a Layer 1 blockchain aligned with Bitcoin, drawing on the principle of sound money in the original protocol.
New supplies enter the market only through block rewards, which are rewarded to the verifier who produces each block.
Core's rewards come from two main sources: one is a fixed block reward plan, which gradually distributes CORE tokens over 81 years; and the other is transaction fees generated by activities on the Core blockchain.
Decreasing annually rather than halving in four years
Bitcoin halves miners 'rewards approximately every four years, while Core takes a different approach.
CORE's circulation rate decreased by 3.61% per 10,512,000 blocks (approximately every 365 days).
Given the network's approximately three seconds of blockages, this interval is close to once a year, making each reduction much less than the halving of Bitcoin, but more frequent.
The issuance follows an 81-year plan, with consensus block rewards reduced by 3.61% annually, resulting in a predictable and gradually decreasing issuance, similar to Bitcoin's halving, but with a smoother curve.
The design is designed to maintain the incentives of verifiers over the long term, rather than causing severe supply shocks every few years.
On top of the declining release curve, Core also introduced a destruction mechanism.
A certain proportion of block rewards and transaction fees will be destroyed, and the specific proportion will be determined by the DAO.
However, Core is gradually abandoning permanent destruction.
These rewards and fees will no longer be permanently withdrawn from circulation, but will be reused to support validator incentives, fund ecosystem projects, and meet operational needs.
The combination of hard caps, diminishing issuance rates, and proactive supply management gives Core a layered monetary policy designed to balance long-term cybersecurity with predictable scarcity.
