Core Foundation today announced the launch of the Core Journey NFT collection on Core. The NFT collection is available to mint on Wizard Gallery, the new NFT marketplace on Core. It offers a unique opportunity for users to actively participate in the growth of Core. The collection is designed to celebrate the journey of Coretoshis and to provide an immersive experience into the world of BTCfi as Core continues to see a growth in Bitcoin-aligned dApps on the blockchain.

Complementing the NFT launch, the Core Foundation is also rolling out an incentive program, Core Ignition, to reward users and builders for their contributions to the network’s growth.

Core Ignition, launching today on March 11, 2024, is a major move to foster the growth and adoption of the Core ecosystem, running for six months. Participants will have ample opportunities to engage and earn rewards. Core Foundation will regularly share interesting criteria with the community to keep everyone informed and excited.

“The Core network has seen immense growth since its mainnet launch in 2023. It is becoming the most Bitcoin-aligned EVM chain and the go-to chain to build BTCfi and scale Bitcoin with a massive community, which has translated into millions of Core adopters, over 15M unique addresses, and 230M transactions. Core Ignition and the Core Journey NFT collection aim to bring stronger utility to the chain, with builders feeling and being empowered to build on Core,” said Core contributor Rich Rines.

The Core Journey NFTs are now live and available for minting on the Wizard Gallery NFT marketplace. As BTCfi takes center stage in 2024, the Core community has crafted a captivating campaign to celebrate its journey with this amazing collection.

Core contributors recently released the ‘Unlocking Bitcoin DeFi‘ paper, which proposes a radical expansion of the Bitcoin Network to support DeFi on Core. Core Foundation also launched the Core Starter Program, backed by over $300,000 in incentives and tools to catalyze innovation within the blockchain space. Its primary goal is to equip developers with the necessary resources to explore new frontiers in blockchain technology.
