User Guide: Merge Marketplace

This guide will walk you through what Merge Marketplace is, why you should use it, and how to participate.

What is Merge Marketplace?

The Merge Marketplace is a platform that connects BTC holders and CORE holders for dual-staking on Core Chain. BTC holders can create Merge orders, while CORE holders can match these orders, enabling both to share the highest reward tier from Core Chain dual-staking.

Why do I need to use Merge Marketplace?

Short Answer: To achieve higher dual-staking yields even if you’re short on capital.🤑😆

Long Answer:

Dual-staking on Core offers great APYs, but it requires you to deposit both BTC and CORE in a specific ratio. If you’re missing one, you can still participate, but your yield will DROP significantly.

That’s where Merge Marketplace comes in. It connects stakers who complement each other. For example, if you have BTC but no CORE, you can team up with someone who has CORE but lacks BTC. Together, you can dual-stake and share rewards, reaching the highest yield tiers without needing extra capital. It’s an easy way to maximize your returns without stretching your budget.

How to participate

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following ready:

1. The Merge Marketplace runs on the Core Chain mainnet.

2. Make sure you have enough CORE in your wallet for gas fees.

Once you have everything set up, you’re ready to dive in!

For BTC Holders: Creating a Merge Order

If you’re a BTC holder looking to create a Merge order, follow these steps:

Go to Merge Marketplace and connect your wallet.

Merge Marketplace screen

On the main screen, find and click the ‘Create Order’ button.

1

Set reward sharing allocation

Enter the percentage of rewards you want to keep, and the remainder will go to future CORE holders. Please keep in mind that the reward shared portion only applies to the additional rewards gained through CORE dual-staking. Your original BTC staking rewards stay yours and aren’t affected.

2

Stake BTC

Enter the amount of BTC you want to stake and click ‘Proceed to Stake’ to lock your funds.

That’s it! Your order is now live. Wait for CORE holders to match with your BTC to enable dual-staking.

Why haven't my merge order shown up in marketplace?

As with all blockchain transactions, it's not instantaneous. Bitcoin deposits take about 6 blocks to confirm. Once confirmed, your order will appear in the marketplace.

Visit the ‘My Order’ tab to view your created orders.
