Refresher on Core Chain and Core Dual-Staking
Core Chain Overview: Core is the first Bitcoin-aligned, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain designed to combine Bitcoin’s security with smart contract flexibility. By anchoring its consensus to Bitcoin mining hash power (≈75%) and leveraging Self-Custodial Bitcoin Staking, Core enables BTC holders to earn yield while securing the network, without ever giving up control of their Bitcoin.
Self-Custodial Bitcoin Staking: Introduced in April 2024, Self-Custodial Bitcoin Staking on Core allows users to stake their BTC without relinquishing control of their assets. By doing so, they earn CORE token rewards natively on the Core chain. This approach eliminates additional trust assumptions, making Bitcoin staking more secure, transparent, and accessible.
Dual Staking: To enhance yield potential, Core introduced Dual Staking, allowing users to stake both BTC and CORE to unlock higher reward tiers.
Staking BTC alone earns a base yield.
Adding CORE in proportion to BTC (e.g., 1:34,000) unlocks boosted yield tiers, 5-25x the base yield.
Dual staking is optional but incentivized, as higher BTC:CORE ratios lead to higher reward multipliers.
How b14g Merge Marketplace Expands Core Dual-Staking
The Challenge:
While Dual Staking offers higher yields, it can be capital-intensive.
To unlock the highest yield tiers, users must hold both BTC and CORE in the required ratio (e.g., 1:34,000). However, many users may only have one asset or lack the capital to meet this ratio, limiting their access to these top-tier yields.
The b14g Merge Marketplace Solution:
The b14g Merge Marketplace solves this by turning dual staking into collaboration. It connects BTC holders and CORE holders, allowing them to dual-stake together and unlock boosted rewards without needing to buy the missing asset.
For BTC Holders: If you have BTC but no CORE, you can create an order on the Merge Marketplace. A CORE holder can then match with you — together, you qualify for higher-tier yields without additional capital.
For CORE Holders: If you have CORE but not enough BTC, you can browse existing BTC staking orders and match with one. Your contribution helps reach the ideal BTC:CORE ratio, and both parties earn a share of boosted rewards.
Why It Matters
By matching stakers across assets, the Merge Marketplace:
Reduces capital barriers: you no longer need to hold both assets.
Expands participation: more BTC and CORE holders can earn dual-staking yield.
Strengthens security: higher total staked assets = stronger consensus base.
How Merge Marketplace works
b14g Merge Marketplace is a set of core smart contracts deployed on Core network. It integrates BTC staking and CORE staking to maximize rewards for both stakers.
BTC Staking: Alice creates a merge order on the b14g Merge Marketplace. Alice then stakes her native BTC on Bitcoin network through Core's Non-custodial BTC staking mechanism.
CORE Staking: Bob, looking to earn yield on his CORE tokens, matches with Alice’s order by staking his CORE. His CORE is sent directly to the Core staking contract — b14g never holds user funds. Check this transaction example for more info.
Reward Distribution: Here’s how rewards are generated and sent back to users:
Alice’s staked BTC generates rewards that go directly to her.
Bob’s staked CORE generates rewards that go directly to him.
Dual-staking boost rewards (from staking BTC + CORE): The boosted dual-staking rewards (from combined BTC + CORE) are automatically split between them.
Key Points
BTC stays timelocked in users' wallet on Bitcoin network, no custody risk.
All actions (orders, matches, rewards) happens on Core network.
b14g contracts only coordinate dual-staking, never hold user funds.
Transparent and verifiable, anyone can audit activity on-chain.
How to participate

Core Chain provides a secure, Bitcoin-aligned foundation for smart contract-enabled DeFi.
Dual Staking on Core allows users to achieve higher BTC staking yields by adding CORE to their positions, incentivizing deeper ecosystem engagement.
b14g Merge Marketplace removes the capital barrier and complexity by connecting stakers who lack one asset with those who have it, expanding participation and helping Core achieve healthier BTC:CORE ratios. The architecture integrates seamlessly with existing Core contracts, relying on its robust infrastructure for security and yield distribution.
With b14g’s Merge Marketplace, everyone can access and maximize the benefits of Dual Staking on Core—creating a more vibrant, user-friendly, and growth-oriented DeFi landscape.
