Core's Revolutionary Satoshi Plus Consensus Marries Decentralization, Security, and Scalability

Singapore, Singapore, 30th March, 2023, Chainwire Core is a novel layer one blockchain that is pushing the boundaries within the crypto space. Inspired by Bitcoin and Ethereum, Core progresses beyond those blockchain behemoths by synthesizing each of their superpowers.
