This article introduces how Stacks brings smart contracts to the Bitcoin blockchain and discusses the investment value of the STX token. Stacks achieves symbiosis with Bitcoin through the POX consensus mechanism, where miners earn STX rewards by producing blocks, and holders earn BTC rewards by participating in Stacking. Stacks also implements the sBTC mechanism, allowing smart contracts to read Bitcoin state and settle transactions on the Bitcoin chain. With a first-mover advantage, Stacks' ecosystem covers areas such as wallets, NFTs, DEX, DeFi, etc., and STX, as the native token, holds long-term investment value. With the development of the Bitcoin L2 track, the Stacks ecosystem is poised for significant growth, demonstrating enormous potential.

This article introduces the Stacks Bitcoin platform, which aims to improve transaction performance and scalability without changing the Bitcoin architecture.

We focus on Stacks and its imminent Nakamoto hard fork. Then, we compare and contrast a variety of newer projects entering the scene that have been on our radar including RGB++, Merlin, Build on Bitcoin (BOB), BEVM, Bsquared, and Nostr Assets.

Looking for a solution to unlock Bitcoin’s full potential beyond its foundational layer? In this article, we explore why Bitcoin is essential for Web3 and introduce sBTC: a non-custodial pegged Bitcoin mechanism poised to become a cornerstone of decentralized finance.

This article introduces Stacks from the perspective of team background, capital relations, consensus mechanism, technical architecture, etc.

The Stacks project is undergoing a significant update called the "Nakamoto Upgrade" to enhance the performance and security of the Stacks chain, making it more like a Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2). The upgrade includes rapid block generation, transaction finality through Bitcoin, and improved MEV (Miner Extractable Value) resistance. Additionally, the introduction of sBTC will allow BTC to be used as a native asset on the Stacks chain, a crucial step towards establishing Stacks as a Bitcoin L2.

This article introduces BTC ecological related projects in detail.

In May 2024, the Bitcoin (BTC) halving will be one of the hottest events in the market. As the halving approaches, more funds will focus on Bitcoin, drawing investor attention to the Bitcoin-derived ecosystem. Layer 2, with its compelling narrative, is likely to become a preferred target for alpha-seeking capital. This article provides an overview of the current BTC Layer 2 concept race and introduces representative projects, including Stacks, RSK, and the Lightning Network.

To make Bitcoin more programmable and productive in decentralized finance (DeFi), it needs to be tokenized, such as in the form of WBTC and the upcoming sBTC. WBTC is the most popular tokenized Bitcoin on Ethereum, but it faces issues of centralization and cost. In contrast, sBTC, supported by Stacks, features a decentralized design and is scheduled for release in 2024. It aims to enhance security and cost efficiency through an open network of verifiers. The launch of sBTC will offer Bitcoin holders more opportunities to leverage their assets in DeFi.

Stacks, a layer-1 blockchain, is used by Bitcoin to support DeFi, NFTs, apps, and smart contracts.

In the past year alone, Total Value Locked (TVL) on Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions has surged sevenfold. From zero to $1.25 billion in just three years. So how did Bitcoin, a chain lacking DeFi or smart contracts, spark this wave of growth? Why did it take so long? And is Bitcoin now ready to do it all?

This article introduces SatoshiVM and its differences from other L2 solutions, and provides an interactive tutorial for reference.

This article provides a detailed analysis of the security challenges and threats of BTC Layer 2 technology. As the demand for the Bitcoin network grows, Layer 2 solutions such as Lightning Network, Rootstock, Stacks, etc. are developed to improve transaction speed and scalability, but at the same time bring new security issues, such as channel attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, double Flower attack etc.
