# Guide: BTC Staking (Core chain)

## Quick Overview

* **Core Self-Custodial Bitcoin Staking** allows Bitcoin holders to lock BTC directly on the Bitcoin mainnet, secure Core chain and earn rewards in return — all while keeping full custody of their assets.
* When integrated with **b14g’s Merge Marketplace**, your BTC can be paired with CORE stakers to unlock **dual-staking rewards** for higher yield.
