At Bitcoin block 375,000 (Dec 16, 2024), Stacks is entering a new phase of evolution. Think of epoch 3.0 as the phase of digging a tunnel through solid rock, opening a path for future journeys. Now, with epoch 3.1, not only is the tunnel being perfected, but a smooth automated rail system is being installed to ensure faster, easier, and more efficient movement.
The upcoming WASM optimization can be thought of as a major expansion project, widening and strengthening the tunnel to accommodate higher speeds and more traffic, resulting in a stable, high-capacity network.
In the context of sBTC, minting (converting BTC to sBTC) relies on Bitcoin’s blockchain, like starting your journey on a major highway. However, using sBTC runs on the Stacks blockchain, like seamlessly switching to a high-speed rail system within a tunnel. This makes version 3.1 a game-changer, maximizing efficiency and creating a strong synergy between Bitcoin and Stacks.
