Stacks

The Stacks Nakamoto Release 🟧

At Bitcoin Block 867867, ~October 29th, the Stacks ecosystem will see its largest upgrade yet.

This means Fast blocks & Bitcoin Finality, making Stacks the number one choice to build a scalable Bitcoin ecosystem. But why? View the thread 👇 1/X

Fast Blocks

Nakamoto brings significantly faster block times by decoupling Stacks block production from Bitcoin block production.

The time taken for a user-submitted transaction to be mined within a block (and thus confirmed) will now take seconds (instead of 10+ minutes). 2/5

Secured by Bitcoin Finality

Once a Stacks transaction is confirmed, reversing it is at least as hard as reversing a Bitcoin transaction. The Stacks L2 no longer forks on its own.

Stacks leverages 100% of Bitcoin's security budget, something unique and novel in the L2 space. 3/5

Miners & Stackers Securing the Network

The elegant Nakamoto design creates a cooperative relationship between miners and stackers while achieving the best of both worlds:

Block production and transactions with speed and security by Bitcoin finality. 4/5

sBTC

The Stacks ecosystem is building the most decentralized Signer network to secure leading Bitcoin L2 stacks.

This year, core developers will also introduce sBTC, a novel decentralized way to move Bitcoin from the L1 to the Stacks L2 and back.

A bright future ahead. 5/5
