According to CryptoPotato, Bitcoin second-layer solution Stacks has achieved significant growth in the past year, with its quarterly revenue increasing by 3,386% and annual revenue increasing by 3,028% to $637,000. The market capitalization of Stacks’ native cryptocurrency STX grew 203% quarterly and 598% annually to reach $2 billion. Messari's "State of Stacks Q4 2023" report shows total value locked (TVL) grew 363% quarterly and 773% annually to $61 million. Additionally, the report shows that average daily miner revenue increased by 1,015% year-on-year to $78,000. The report highlights Stacks’ prominent position in the Bitcoin second-layer ecosystem and the prospects for further growth through the Satoshi upgrade in April 2024. The upgrade will bring significant improvements, including accelerating block times, ensuring the finality of Bitcoin transactions, eliminating fork risks, and reducing the Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) associated with Bitcoin. The Satoshi upgrade will also launch sBTC, a trust-reduced form of Bitcoin that can be bridged and operated within the Stacks ecosystem. This will align the decentralized finance (DeFi) experience on Stacks with features offered by other leading DeFi platforms, increasing its appeal and utility.
