Stacks, Bitcoin Layers, and the Nakamoto Upgrade: Here’s What’s Going On
The modern era of crypto sees a resurgence in Bitcoin, with projects like Stacks experiencing significant growth. Stacks, tied to Bitcoin, offers unique features like faster and cheaper transactions, smart contracts, and improved yields for "stackers." An upcoming Nakamoto upgrade aims to enhance transaction speed and security, while a future sBTC upgrade seeks to bridge BTC holdings onto the Stacks blockchain in a trust-minimized manner. Stacks is also supporting BitVM to enable Bitcoin rollups, aiming to reduce trust assumptions and potentially scale by 2025. This collaboration signifies a promising future for layered Bitcoin development.
