Timeblock plus integration
BitGo built a native integration for Core's Timelock Plus model, enabling clients to earn rewards on bitcoin while optimizing rewards through CORE token participation.
The challenge
Core enables rewards on bitcoin while guaranteeing principal security through Bitcoin's native CLTV timelock functionality. By timelocking your bitcoin on the Bitcoin blockchain, you earn the right to help elect Core validators. When your selected validators secure the Core network, you receive a share of the network's fixed block emissions and transaction fees as rewards.
Bitcoin has historically lacked native reward opportunities that meet the security, compliance, and operational requirements of institutional investors. As Core's trustless bitcoin rewards grew, they needed a partner for secure custody of bitcoin and CORE tokens, institutional bitcoin Timelock workflows, reward distribution, reporting, reconciliation, and regulated on-chain transaction infrastructure.
The conclusion
The partnership between The Core Foundation and BitGo marks a pivotal moment for bitcoin reward solutions. By integrating with BitGo, Core has made bitcoin rewards accessible to institutions with the tools, trust, and compliance standards they demand. Together, Core and BitGo are unlocking a new era of institutional rewards backed by Bitcoin's security.
Our priority was to offer bitcoin reward solutions in a way that large institutions could trust—without compromise on security, transparency, or scale.
