The supply is mathematically fixed at exactly 2.1 billion tokens. This number will never change, creating predictable economics that reward long-term commitment rather than punishing it.

Bitcoin's revolutionary insight wasn't just digital money—it was digital scarcity. Satoshi Nakamoto understood that for a digital asset to hold value, it must be genuinely scarce. Bitcoin's 21 million coin limit created the first truly finite digital asset, and that scarcity is fundamental to its value proposition.

CORE follows this same principle. Just as Bitcoin will never exceed 21 million coins, CORE will never exceed 2.1 billion tokens. We're following the example set by Satoshi: true scarcity creates lasting value.

Fixed supply creates certainty in an uncertain world. When you acquire CORE tokens today, you know exactly what percentage of the total supply you own.

This stands aligned with Bitcoin and in contrast to many other crypto projects, where token supplies can be modified, creating uncertainty about future dilution. CORE's approach mirrors Bitcoin's commitment to mathematical certainty over human discretion.

CORE's 2.1 billion token supply is distributed through a carefully designed 81-year consensus rewards schedule with a 3.61% annual reduction rate. This creates a smooth, predictable curve that gradually decreases new token issuance over time, similar to Bitcoin's halving concept but without the dramatic supply shocks.

Here's how it breaks down:

This rewards schedule means that while new CORE tokens enter circulation each year, the rate decreases predictably and permanently. The result is a supply curve that becomes increasingly scarce over time, echoing Bitcoin's own scarcity model.

Bitcoin proved that digital scarcity could create real value. Before Bitcoin, digital assets could be copied infinitely. Satoshi's breakthrough was creating something truly finite in a digital world, and that scarcity became the foundation for Bitcoin's trillion-dollar valuation.

CORE applies this same principle to the Bitcoin ecosystem. While Bitcoin established digital scarcity for money, CORE establishes digital scarcity for the token that unlocks Bitcoin's productivity. The parallel is intentional: both assets gain power from their finite nature.

CORE's 2.1 billion supply represents exactly 100x Bitcoin's 21 million, a deliberate homage to Bitcoin's pioneering scarcity model. This connection emphasizes CORE's role as Bitcoin's companion asset, designed to enhance Bitcoin's utility while maintaining the scarcity principles that made Bitcoin valuable.

Fixed supply is only half the equation. The real power comes from understanding what drives demand for CORE tokens and why that demand grows as Bitcoin adoption expands.

CORE tokens are the exclusive key to unlocking the highest Bitcoin staking yields through Dual Staking. Bitcoin holders who want to maximize their returns must acquire and stake CORE tokens alongside their Bitcoin:

This creates genuine utility demand. Bitcoin holders acquire CORE tokens because they need them to maximize yields, not for speculation.

Core's tiered reward system creates ongoing demand for CORE tokens. To access the highest yield tier (Satoshi Tier), Bitcoin stakers need to maintain a specific CORE-to-Bitcoin ratio. As more stakers qualify for higher tiers, the protocol can adjust requirements upward, creating sustained demand for additional CORE tokens.

When genuine scarcity meets real utility, the economics become compelling. CORE tokens aren't just scarce; they're necessary for Bitcoin holders who want to maximize their yields. This combination of finite supply and growing utility demand creates a fundamental value proposition.

As more Bitcoin holders discover they can earn meaningful yield while maintaining custody, they need CORE tokens to access the highest rates. With only 2.1 billion tokens ever created, each one becomes increasingly valuable as adoption grows.

Bitcoin's scarcity wasn't accidental. It was an intentional design. Satoshi understood that abundance creates weakness while scarcity creates strength. Bitcoin's 21 million coin limit wasn't chosen randomly; it was chosen to create mathematical certainty in a world of human unpredictability.

CORE applies this same wisdom. The 2.1 billion token limit creates the same mathematical certainty that made Bitcoin revolutionary.

Bitcoin proved that digital scarcity creates real value. CORE extends this principle to Bitcoin's ecosystem, creating the first truly scarce asset designed specifically to enhance Bitcoin's productivity.

There will only ever be 2.1 billion CORE tokens. As Bitcoin adoption grows and more holders seek yield, demand for those finite tokens will only increase. The supply is fixed. The utility is expanding. The precedent is proven.

Satoshi showed us that scarcity works. CORE follows that blueprint.
