The Nakamoto upgrade and sBTC launch are only the beginning.
New Stacks core improvements are coming to boost chain efficiency and drive user and developer adoption.
Here’s a full breakdown of the upcoming upgrades and initiatives.🧵 ⬇️
1) Fast and reliable transactions are a prerequisite to becoming a top chain.
Building on the progress of the Nakamoto upgrade, the short-term goal is to achieve consistent sub-10s transactions.
Long-term, the target is to match transaction speeds of other leading ecosystems.
2) To attract more apps, building on Stacks needs to be as simple as possible.
That’s why a new version of Clarity is coming, along with Wasm compilation support.
The upgrades will enhance transaction throughput, improve smart contract efficiency, and overall app performance.
3) Stacking is a pillar of the Stacks consensus mechanism.
Several improvements will be introduced to enhance UX and increase active pool operators:
- New tooling to simplify pool operations
- Removal of the one-cycle cooldown period
- Automatic Stacking until manually stopped
4) To make Stacking even more attractive and unlock more liquidity, Dual Stacking will be introduced.
Users will be able to stake BTC to earn BTC, with additional reward boosts for also stacking STX.
This upgrade will further align Stacks with Bitcoin.
These improvements are crucial to enhancing the overall experience for both builders and community members.
They will make it much easier to onboard new users and attract builders to Stacks, helping to grow the Bitcoin economy.
