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.
If you’re a BTC holder or a CORE holder, the Merge Marketplace lowers the capital barriers to staking by letting you collaborate with others. BTC holders can earn boosted staking rewards without needing CORE, and CORE holders can maximize their yields by matching with BTC orders. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Once you have everything set up, you’re ready to dive in!
If you’re a BTC holder looking to create a Merge order, follow these steps:
On the main screen, find and click the ‘Create Order’ button.
On the Core Devnet, you’ll need to click the ‘Activate’ button after locking BTC to activate your Merge order due to some instability with the relayer between Core devnet and BTC testnet.
On the Core Chain Mainnet, this step won’t be required. After step 2, your Merge order is created and automatically activated.
That’s it! Your order is now live. Wait for CORE holders to match with your BTC to enable dual-staking.
If you’re a CORE holder ready to match a BTC Merge order, here’s how to do it:
That’s it! Your CORE will be merged with the BTC staker’s order, enabling dual-staking on the Core Chain.
