Valour Bitcoin Staking (BTC)

Yield is generated by delegating Bitcoins to a validator on the Core Chain through non-custodial, native Bitcoin staking. The staked Bitcoins receive staking rewards in the form of CORE tokens, which are then reinvested into the product.

Core Chain is a decentralised, secure, scalable, and EVM compatible layer 1 blockchain, backed by Bitcoin’s PoW through a unique consensus mechanism called 'Satoshi Plus'. Satoshi Plus allows Bitcoin miners to delegate their PoW (DPoW) to Core validators by repurposing their existing work without affecting their future Bitcoin rewards. Additionally, Bitcoin holders can delegate their Bitcoins (DPoS) to Core validators. Core Chain unlocks the power of Bitcoin-secured decentralized applications.

No, security is not decreased during staking. All custodial control is retained while yield is generated. Bitcoins are staked through a ‘stake transaction’, a specific type of native Bitcoin transaction that includes a lockup period and Core Chain staking details, such as the Core Validator to point the stake to and the Core reward address. During the lockup, the Bitcoins can't be transferred or slashed. Only the owner can transfer the Bitcoins once the lockup period ends.
