What is Stacks (STX)?
The Stacks network serves as a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, enabling the use of smart contracts and Decentralised Applications (DApps) on the Bitcoin blockchain. Its design emphasises Bitcoin’s security and robustness while introducing functionalities commonly associated with other blockchain platforms, like Ethereum. By operating as a distinct layer, Stacks allows developers to build on Bitcoin without altering its core structure, creating an extended environment that taps into Bitcoin’s decentralisation and trustless nature.
