Question 1

What are CORE Vault and CORE?

Accepted Answer

CORE is the core crypto asset described in CORE Vault materials. Its design emphasizes limited supply, a source of staking fees derived from transfer fees rather than continuing issuance, and community governance. Holding CORE does not represent corporate equity, dividends, debt, or a right to redeem at a fixed price. Accordingly, CORE’s mechanisms should be understood separately from its market price: protocol rules may define supply and fee flows, but cannot promise liquidity, the amount of returns, or asset prices.

Question 2

Will CORE continue to be issued?

Accepted Answer

CORE has a maximum supply of 10,000 tokens. Official materials state that all tokens were minted at once during the liquidity generation event and that no new CORE can be created thereafter; this is the issuance restriction referred to by its non-inflationary design. “Cannot be minted again” restricts the creation of new CORE. It does not prevent existing holders from transferring, selling, or depositing tokens into the protocol, nor does it guarantee that the market’s tradable quantity or price will remain unchanged. When considering supply, fixed total quantity should be distinguished from the balance actually tradable at a given time.

Question 3

How does CORE’s 1% transfer fee work?

Accepted Answer

Official help materials describe a 1% fee on the amount of CORE transfers, connected to a distribution mechanism for stakers. In other words, the source of fees is CORE transfers that occur, rather than newly minting additional CORE to pay rewards. If transfer activity decreases, the amount entering the fee-distribution mechanism under this logic may also be affected; how much an individual actually receives also depends on the protocol’s staking and settlement rules at the time and on participation. Fee distribution is not a fixed interest rate and does not eliminate contract, liquidity, or price risks.

Question 4

What is the purpose of staking CORE?

Accepted Answer

Staking CORE means depositing CORE into the relevant protocol contract to participate in the transfer-fee distribution mechanism described in the official materials. The key distinction of this mechanism is that the source of potential distributions is CORE transfer fees, rather than rewards from ongoing new issuance. Before depositing, users need to confirm that they are interacting with the correct contract and understand the applicable staking, settlement, and exit rules. Staking does not turn CORE into a bank deposit: contract risk, changes in asset price, and market conditions at exit may still affect outcomes.

Question 5

What can a CORE/WETH liquidity receipt be used for, and what should be noted when exiting?

Accepted Answer

A CORE/WETH liquidity receipt represents a receipt obtained after providing both assets to a CORE/WETH liquidity pool. CORE Vault materials associate this receipt with a farming contract, so it is not simply a substitute for holding CORE alone. The official FAQ also states that this liquidity design restricts the path for redeeming the receipt into the corresponding CORE and WETH. This restriction directly affects how holders can exit: holding the receipt should not be simply equated with being able to retrieve both underlying assets at any time through the usual liquidity-pool process, and the contract’s specific exit conditions should be understood before participation.

Question 6

What practical impact does community governance have on CORE users?

Accepted Answer

CORE Vault materials characterize project decisions as being governed through community voting. In practice, governance allows participants who meet the rules to influence the protocol’s direction through proposals and voting, rather than having all decisions made solely by one party. The effect of each governance decision depends on the specific proposal and its effectiveness rules. For example, a proposal may concern protocol parameters or modes of use; before voting, users should review the proposal text, voting eligibility, execution conditions, and potential risks. Community governance itself does not guarantee that a decision will increase asset value.
