What is Stacks

Stacks (STX) is a blockchain for smart contracts and apps anchored to Bitcoin; its developers call it a Bitcoin layer 2. Muneeb Ali and Ryan Shea started the project as Blockstack in 2013. It held a token sale in 2017, and in July 2019 Blockstack PBC (now Hiro) ran the first token offering qualified by the US SEC under Regulation A+. The project was renamed Stacks in October 2020, and the Stacks 2.0 mainnet launched on 14 January 2021.

Consensus works through Proof of Transfer (PoX). Instead of hashing as in Bitcoin, miners commit bitcoin in Bitcoin transactions, and a bigger bid means a better chance to produce Stacks blocks and earn newly minted STX. That bitcoin pays rewards to holders who lock STX in staking (called stacking), which backs the signers who approve every block. The Stacks chain is anchored to Bitcoin blocks. Since the Nakamoto upgrade in late 2024, blocks arrive within seconds, and reversing a confirmed transaction is at least as hard as reversing a Bitcoin one. Smart contracts use Clarity, a language whose code is stored on chain as written and whose behavior can be known in advance.

STX pays fees, runs smart contracts and is staked for bitcoin rewards. Since December 2024 it has offered sBTC, a token backed one to one by bitcoin and redeemable for BTC, which brings bitcoin into Stacks lending protocols, exchanges and other apps. Unlike the Lightning Network, which speeds up payments, Stacks adds smart contracts to Bitcoin, and unlike many layer 2 networks it has its own token and miners.

What it’s used for

paying fees and running smart contracts on Stacks
staking STX for rewards paid in bitcoin (sBTC by default)
using bitcoin in DeFi apps through sBTC

Risks

sBTC depends on a group of signers: the bitcoin backing it sits in a multisignature address, so a failure or collusion within that group would threaten the backing
security does not come from Bitcoin alone: blocks are approved by signers tied to STX staking, so weaker interest in STX would weaken the network’s protection
new STX is issued continuously as a reward to miners, so supply keeps growing

Is Stacks a Bitcoin layer 2?

Its developers call it one: Stacks blocks are anchored to Bitcoin, and reversing a confirmed transaction is at least as hard as reversing a Bitcoin transaction. The network still has its own STX token, miners and signers, so its security is not identical to Bitcoin’s.

How does stacking STX earn bitcoin?

Holders lock STX for one or more reward cycles of roughly two weeks each. Rewards come from the bitcoin that miners spend for the right to produce blocks and are paid as sBTC by default. The amount is not fixed and depends on how much miners bid.
