Delegated Proof of Stake

Having covered DPoW, let’s move on to the other side of Satoshi Plus consensus, DPoS.

DPoS allows holders of both CORE tokens and bitcoin [4] to vote and participate in the election of the validator set by delegating their holdings to their preferred validators. Because there is only a very small minimum staking requirement (of one CORE token), all CORE holders can contribute to the governance of the Core network. On the bitcoin-staking side, the present configuration stipulates a minimum staking requirement of 0.01 BTC (but this can be adjusted in the future through a governance vote).

Holders of both CORE token and bitcoin can delegate their CORE tokens to particular validators at https://stake.coredao.org/
