Core (CORE) is the native token of the Core blockchain, a Bitcoin-aligned Layer 1 that combines Bitcoin’s proof-of-work security with Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) through its unique Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism. Bitcoin miners can earn CORE rewards without any extra energy cost, making Core one of the few blockchains with deep Bitcoin miner participation. Core supports EVM-compatible smart contracts, a growing DeFi ecosystem, and Bitcoin staking through coreBTC. African investors can buy and sell CORE on Bitget and Bybit using local currencies.

- Enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your Bitget/Bybit account immediately after registering.
- Only trade with verified P2P merchants — look for high completion rates and positive feedback.
- Never share your password, 2FA codes, or seed phrases with anyone.
- Invest only what you can afford to lose — crypto prices are volatile.
- Consider withdrawing to a personal wallet for long-term holdings.
