Bitcoin is secure, robust, and widely adopted. As the leading Bitcoin L2, Stacks allows builders to leverage these properties and create new use cases for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin boasts a market cap over $1T. It is easily accessible in most of the world and continues to see retail and institutional adoption. Yet, relatively few apps and experiences have been built for Bitcoin due to its limited scripting language. Stacks enables more complex use cases without changing Bitcoin.

Simply, Bitcoin's security is unmatched. Through Stacks, transactions are settled to Bitcoin, making these transactions as irreversible as Bitcoin's after the Nakamoto upgrade.
Stacks activates the Bitcoin economy. Bitcoin is the most adopted, most valuable, and most durable decentralized asset. Stacks extends Bitcoin with new functionality by enabling apps and smart contracts on the Bitcoin L2. All Stacks transactions settle to Bitcoin and Stacks apps can interact with Bitcoin state allowing developers to leverage the security, capital, and network effects of Bitcoin without modifying Bitcoin itself. With the release of sBTC, Stacks will enable seamless movement of BTC between layers.
The Nakamoto upgrade is an expected upgrade to the Stacks layer that enables faster blocks, full Bitcoin finality, and a number of network performance enhancements. Nakamoto sets the stage for Bitcoin DeFi and prepares the network to support sBTC.
sBTC is a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed asset that will enable trust-minimized movement of BTC in and out of the Stacks L2. This effectively enables 'writing to Bitcoin', offering a programmable version of BTC to developers that want to create apps and smart contracts for Bitcoin. sBTC transactions are validated by a decentralized network of 'Signers' that include top infrastructure providers in the industry along with a robust community of Stackers.
Proof of Transfer (PoX) is the consensus mechanism that connects Bitcoin and Stacks. It recycles Bitcoin’s Proof of Work, offering Stacks transactions the benefit of Bitcoin's full finality, meaning Stacks transactions become as irreversible as Bitcoin's post-Nakamoto. Proof of Transfer also enables Stacking, which allows holders of the Stacks Token to lock their Stacks to help secure the network and validate transactions, earning them a share of the Bitcoin that miners spend to mine new Stacks blocks.
Clarity is a decidable smart contract language that optimizes for predictability and security, designed for the Stacks blockchain. Smart contracts allow developers to encode essential business logic on a blockchain. The design decisions behind Clarity were based heavily on taking lessons learned in common Solidity exploits and creating a language that has been purpose-built for safety and security in mind.
Stacks extends Bitcoin with new functionality. Bitcoin is Stacks’ secure and robust base layer where all transactions are settled, and Stacks adds complex apps and smart contracts. Stacks apps can interact with Bitcoin state, so you can have an app that uses Bitcoin as its currency.

Hold and temporarily lock STX, Stacks’ native currency, and support the network’s security & consensus. As a reward, you’ll earn BTC.
