The Stacks (STX) Foundation has announced that the Nakamoto upgrade will be activated on October 9th. To commemorate this, the Stacks community will be hosting over 20 developer workshops worldwide. The workshops will feature talks, live demos, and hackathons with opportunities to earn STX. The Nakamoto upgrade is focused on separating the block production schedules of Stacks and Bitcoin. This will result in faster transaction times, enable the operation of BTC virtual machines, and support BTC-based decentralized finance (DeFi) and related dApps. The Nakamoto upgrade is a significant milestone for the Stacks ecosystem. It will make Stacks a more attractive platform for developers and users, and it will open up new possibilities for BTC-based DeFi and dApps. If you are interested in learning more about Stacks and the Nakamoto upgrade, I encourage you to attend one of the developer workshops. You can find more information about the workshops on the Stacks website.
