Stacks ($STX) is now available on Nexo, a leading digital assets platform. Stacks introduces smart contracts and decentralized apps (dApps) directly on the Bitcoin network. This was announced via Nexo’s official X account. It is built for its capability to scale with the ecosystem and meet the implementation of added functionalities within it. Stacks can be used to support applications such as decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens and many others.

Stacks Leverages Bitcoin Security for New dApp Use Cases
One of the most important distinctive elements of the Stacks ecosystem is the Proof of Transfer (PoX) consensus algorithm. This ties Stacks to Bitcoin and makes it more secure and stable. The Stacks platform allows participants to stack $STX and receive $BTC rewards, meaning participants can have the best of both worlds with Stacks’ innovation.
$STX, the native token of the Stacks ecosystem, has an important role to play. It is mainly for performing the smart contracts, the transactions and for the governance of the network. Therefore, $STX is useful for the functioning of the platform and the activity of the community.
Secondly, Stacks enables new use cases to be built while leveraging Bitcoin security. Its integration with Bitcoin allows for new and advanced decentralized applications, which cannot be developed on Bitcoin’s base layer.
$STX Listed on Nexo, Boosting Bitcoin Smart Contract Capabilities
This also helps Nexo to step up on its promise to provide its users more types of digital assets to invest in. With the listing of $STX, Nexo clients can directly invest in a token that introduces smart contract capabilities to the biggest blockchain in the world.
Overall, Nexo integration with Stacks has been a positive development for both platforms because it enhances the utility of Bitcoin while bringing more features to Nexo users in the field of digital assets.
