It lets you keep earning Core staking rewards and dual‑staking boost while your tokens remain liquid to use across DeFi. *** ## Quick Overview The **dualCORE Vault** keeps your CORE liquid while boosting your rewards—automatically. * Deposit CORE, receive dualCORE * Target APY: 20%+ (variable) * Yield generated through [staking CORE into b14g Merge Marketplace](#wow-20--apy-is-high-how-does-dualcore-offer-such-high-yields), matching with BTC, unlocking dual-staking boosted yield. * Yield is [auto-compounded](#how-to-track-how-much-i-earned-through-dualcore-vault) directly in your wallet. No need to claim or restake manually. * Withdraw anytime with 1-day unbonding (0% fee) or instant withdrawal (10 % fee). *** ## **What is liquid dual-staking?** Staking CORE helps secure Core network, earn staking rewards, but the trade-off is staked CORE tokens are locked and become illiquid. This means you can’t transfer, sell, or use your CORE tokens in DeFi while they’re staked. **Liquid dual‑staking** **dualCORE** fixes that. * **Deposit CORE → Receive dualCORE**, an ERC20 liquid dual-staking token. * dualCORE represents your staked CORE **plus** all the rewards it earns. * You can **transfer, trade, or use dualCORE in DeFi** while the vault keeps accruing staking and dual‑staking rewards for you.
*** ## How Is It Different From stCORE? You might ask: *“Isn’t this just like stCORE?”* Not quite. Here’s what sets **dualCORE** apart: | | stCORE | dualCORE | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Token Type** | Liquid staking token | Liquid staking token | | **Yield Sources** | CORE staking rate only | | | **APY (as of this post)** | \~8% | \~20%+ | | **Redemption time** | 7 days (you miss out on staking rewards during that long redemption time) | | | **Extra DeFi yield** | Limited | Works as yield aggregator (TBD) | *** ## Wow, 20%+ APY is high! How does dualCORE offer such high yields? **dualCORE** taps into **Core’s dual-staking system**, which offers enhanced rewards when both BTC and CORE are staked together. Here’s what happens under the hood: * You deposit CORE into the dualCORE vault. * The vault stakes that CORE into active BTC orders on [**b14g Merge Marketplace**](/products/for-core-holders/core-marketplace.md)**,** forming a dual-staking position. * You earn boosted yields from dual-staking even though you only supplied CORE. * Your rewards are auto-compounded daily. All of this happens **automatically**. {% hint style="info" %} *b14g Merge Marketplace connects BTC stakers with CORE stakers to collaboratively dual-stake.* *BTC stakers create orders and stake BTC non-custodially, then CORE holders stake CORE into these orders to unlock dual-staking boost rewards for both.* *This means you can stake either BTC or CORE alone and still earn dual-staking boost rewards. It’s live at* [*https://app.b14g.xyz/*](https://app.b14g.xyz/)*.* {% endhint %}
*** ## **So, w**hy using dualCORE Vault instead of staking CORE directly on the Merge Marketplace? Manually staking on the Merge Marketplace requires effort: * You need to browse active orders to find the best APR. You also have to constantly monitor and manually reallocate when new orders with better rates appear. * You must track expired orders and move your funds to new ones. * You need to claim and reinvest rewards daily to maximize returns. Honestly, it’s **time-consuming** and can feel overwhelming, especially for beginners (or for those of us who prefer a simpler life 🤷‍♀️). **dualCORE Vault fixes that.** All you need to do is deposit your CORE into the vault. It’ll take care of everything: * Allocating your CORE to the orders with highest APR. * Reallocate your CORE when orders expired. * Automatically claiming and reinvesting rewards to compound your returns. It’s DeFi made simple—so you can sit back, relax, and still earn more. *** ## How to track how much I earned through dualCORE Vault? dualCORE is a derivative token, where your yield is auto-compounded directly in your wallet. No need to claim or restake manually. While your dualCORE balance may stay the same, its value against CORE increases over time as rewards are applied in the background. For example, 1 dualCORE today might be worth 1.1 CORE. But after a few days of staking, that same 1 dualCORE could be worth 1.2 CORE. When you choose to unstake, you'll receive more CORE than you initially put in, reflecting the rewards you've accumulated. *** ## How to Participate {% content-ref url="/pages/z2RKNUYp7iS2QTUJX4b4" %} [Guide: dualCORE](/user-guide/for-core-holders/guide-dualcore.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Itvbts3NPYhYLPyLRnvt" %} [FAQ: dualCORE](/faq/faq-dualcore.md) {% endcontent-ref %} *** ## DeFi Integration You can: * Trade dualCORE or provide liquidity on [Glyph Exchange](https://app-v4.glyph.exchange/pool/0xee2c1703d96443ff0b2c3bc7166b4a6e792b5a97). * Use dualCORE as collateral for borrowing & lending on [Sumer Money](https://app.sumer.money/?chain=1116).
