The Satoshi app not only airdrops CORE tokens but also allows you (the users) to mine the CORE tokens using the mobile application. In April 2024, CORE, the inaugural project on the Satoshi APP, skyrocketed with an unbelievable 400+% surge in its price, pushing its market cap past a jaw-dropping $3.2+ billion! This incredible leap isn't just a victory for CORE fans; it's a shining symbol of Satoshi App's core values.
