Core Foundation&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://coredao.org/explore/blog/core-foundation-announces-dual-staking-model-to-boost-bitcoin-yields-and-set-market-standard" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">unveiled</a> its Dual Staking model to boost Bitcoin yields and set a new standard in the market. Building on Core's pioneering Non-Custodial Bitcoin Staking, this innovation introduces a $BTC bond layer to establish the ‘Bitcoin Risk-Free Rate.’&nbsp;
The transformation is expected to reinforce Bitcoin's role from a store of value to a secure, yield-bearing asset.

The new model allows Bitcoin (BTC) stakers to stake both BTC and Core rewards for higher returns. Holders who stake $CORE tokens alongside $BTC can earn "Dual-Staker Rates." Meanwhile, $BTC holders can continue to stake their Bitcoins for the base Risk-Free Rate. This rate refers to the yield generated without counterparty risk within the protocol.
&nbsp;
Bitcoin stakers who commit to long-term staking will receive higher rewards than those staking for shorter periods. The duration will be determined in the long run, but the development aims to close the economic loop between Bitcoin and the Core network.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
This establishes clearer value for Bitcoin staking rewards and alignment between the two blockchains. Industry experts view Dual Staking as a crucial advancement for Core's value proposition, positioning the native CORE asset as a cornerstone of Bitcoin finance.
&nbsp;
The integration of Bitcoin and Core blockchains comes as 55% of BTC mining hash power is actively delegated to Core.

In April 2024, Core launched its&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://coredao.org/explore/blog/74" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Non-Custodial Bitcoin Staking</a>, allowing Bitcoin holders to earn yield without relinquishing custody. In the initial months, around 5,000 BTC, worth $309 million, were staked with Core. These stakers earned the Risk-Free Rate, paid out in CORE tokens.
&nbsp;
Rich Rines, a key contributor to the Core DAO, explains that the new model not only offers an additional earning mechanism but also enhances blockchain security.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 "Core acts as a second block reward provider for Bitcoin. In exchange for&nbsp; security provision, Core rewards Bitcoin participants with CORE tokens,”&nbsp; said Rich Rines, contributor to Core DAO. “With Dual Staking, those CORE token rewards take on even greater importance.”
</blockquote>
By staking, participants contribute to network security, fostering a safer ecosystem for transactions. In return, they receive CORE tokens, which now play a more critical role in their investment portfolio due to the dual staking system.
