According to Odaily Planet Daily, Stacks posted on X that the current transaction processing time of Stacks is about 10 minutes, which severely limits the development of its DeFi applications. The upcoming Nakamoto upgrade will completely change this situation, significantly shorten the block time, and is expected to revolutionize the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.

After the upgrade, the interaction time between users and existing protocols will be reduced from minutes to seconds, which will greatly improve the user experience, support high-volume use cases, and eliminate the limitations of complex DeFi strategies. For example, the current time-consuming operations of liquidity stacking token minting, depositing into DeFi applications, and mortgage lending will become faster.

In summary, the Nakamoto upgrade will facilitate rapid interaction between users and DeFi applications, support the implementation of DeFi strategies that require fast block confirmations, and attract more developers to build high-throughput applications on Bitcoin.

Previously, the Stacks Foundation stated that the final code for the Nakamoto upgrade will be sent to network operators on August 28, and the activation window will be open. The Nakamoto upgrade is designed to significantly improve security and speed by increasing transaction throughput, "100% Bitcoin finality" and reducing Bitcoin miner extractable value (MEV).
