CORE, the intrinsic utility token of the blockchain, serves dual purposes—staking and covering gas fees. Adhering to Bitcoin's token model, CORE has a fixed supply of 2.1 billion. Following a methodology akin to Ethereum, the network commits to burning a portion of block rewards and gas fees. The emission of tokens is spread across an 81-year schedule. A key aim is to entice Bitcoin miners to channel their hash power to the network post the anticipated decline in Bitcoin mining rewards around 2040.
