Validators have played a crucial role in verifying and validating transactions while maintaining the ledger’s accuracy and thereby contributing to its overall security. Thus, by being a validator, Animoca Brands will be actively participating in the governance and stability of the Core blockchain. As a result, Animoca will be working on supporting Core’s vision of unlocking $1.3 trillion of trapped liquidity on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Along with running the validators, Animoca Brands will collaborate with Core contributors and select certain dApps from its portfolio of Web3 investments. This initiative seeks to foster collaboration and innovation by harnessing the strengths of multiple projects to advance BTCfi. Speaking on the development, Brendon Sedo, Initial Contributor at Core, said:

“We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Animoca Brands, one of the most well-known companies in the Web3 space. By running a validator on the Core network, Animoca Brands is playing a crucial role in securing the Core chain and enabling BTCFi.
