# Core (CORECHAIN) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/corechain.html

## Definition
Core is a Bitcoin-aligned, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain whose mission is to bring scalability and smart-contract functionality to Bitcoin's security model. Its official whitepaper (v1.0.5, hosted on Core DAO's docs site) introduces 'Satoshi Plus' consensus.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
Native asset of the Core L1 — gas, staking, and on-chain governance; tokenomics mirror Bitcoin scarcity (per available project docs; no whitepaper was found). Evidence: the open protocol — the token is the chain’s native unit by consensus rules; there is no issuer to claim against.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Native fuel of the Core network — pays for transactions and computation.

## Key risks & notes
Status: no_whitepaper_found — the official Core whitepaper exists at docs.coredao.org but could not be fetched during this session; summary grounded in Core DAO documentation and third-party explainers. Risks: security depends on sustained Bitcoin-miner participation; DPoS validator sets trend centralized; ecosystem and liquidity are far smaller than Ethereum's.

## Primary source
