$STX ❗️**News #STX in Brief🗞**‼️

April 15th is an important day for STX (Stacks) in the crypto world. Here is what is being prepared:

The **Nakamoto Update** for *Stacks (STX)* brings significant improvements to the Stacks blockchain, improving its efficiency and integration with Bitcoin. Here are the key points of this update:

1. **Acceleration of transactions**:

- Miners can now generate multiple Stacks blocks in the space of one Bitcoin block, significantly speeding up transaction processing.

2. **Guarantee of permanence**:

- Transactions on Stack become as permanent as those on Bitcoin. This builds confidence in the security and reliability of the network.

3. **Introduction of sBTC**:

- The update introduces *sBTC*, a programmable version of Bitcoin. This strengthens the link between Stacks and Bitcoin while allowing Bitcoin features to be used in a more flexible and programmable way on Stacks.

4. **Change in block creation**:

- Before the update, the creation of Stacks blocks depended on miner elections. Now, miners produce blocks consistently, on a fixed schedule. For a fork to occur, it would require approval from 70% of PoX Stackers, making any reorganization as difficult as for Bitcoin.

5. **Miner Extractable Value (MEV) Risk Reduction**:

- The update aims to reduce VEM risks, thereby improving network security.

6. *Improved resistance to reorganization*:

- By strengthening the finality of transactions and further involving Stackers, the update makes blockchain reorganizations as difficult as for Bitcoin.

In summary, the Nakamoto update improves the efficiency, security, and integration of Stacks with Bitcoin, marking a notable advancement in the blockchain space.
