According to TechFlow, Granite, an innovative Bitcoin DeFi liquidity protocol incubated by Trust Machines, has officially launched.

Granite leverages Stacks’ recently launched Nakamoto upgrade and sBTC Bitcoin bridge to enable BTC users to access DeFi services without the need for centralized custody.

The Nakamoto upgrade reportedly increases Stacks’ block speed by 100 times while maintaining its unique Proof of Transfer (PoX) consensus mechanism and Bitcoin finality.
