#OnChainLendingSurge Stacks (STX) is a layer-1 blockchain designed to bring smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) to Bitcoin without altering the underlying protocol of Bitcoin. The uniqueness of STX lies in its Proof of Transfer (PoX) mechanism, which allows users to "stack" STX and earn rewards in BTC. This creates a direct connection between two major blockchains, leveraging the security and credibility of Bitcoin as a foundation.

Additionally, Stacks supports Clarity, a smart contract programming language designed to be transparent and error-resistant. The STX ecosystem helps expand the capabilities of Bitcoin, transforming it into a platform not just for storing value but also for developing Web3 applications, offering opportunities for innovation in the field of decentralized finance.
