Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Wrapped.com, a collaboration between industry stalwarts Tokensoft and Anchorage, and specialists in wrapped crypto assets, will soon offer wrapped bitcoin on Stacks, or ‘xBTC’. Wrapped bitcoin on Stacks is a huge step toward native DeFi on Bitcoin and because the Stacks 2.0 blockchain settles to Bitcoin in shared consensus already, xBTC will be the first wrapped asset actually backed by Bitcoin.

Another major player joins the Stacks Ecosystem as Foundry Digital LLC commits to providing STX Mining services with the launch of Stacks 2.0. Foundry, a Digital Currency Group subsidiary, is a leader in the world of Bitcoin mining and will bring expertise and capital to the Stacks ecosystem.

Once a passing thought about decentralized naming by Satoshi, the possibility of a separate blockchain that shares CPU with Bitcoin has been realized with today’s launch of Stacks 2.0. This quote is now saved in the Stacks 2.0 genesis block forever!

Hiro PBC and Skynet Labs are teaming up to support more bridges between the Stacks and Skynet protocols. Together, they’ll be sponsoring a bounty for the best tutorial educating developers on how to use Skynet to create pointers in Clarity smart contracts to data that is too large to store on-chain.

UPDATE: Community members have reported that Binance deposits and withdrawals for Stacks 2.0 are working and the integration is complete.

Over the course of all 1000 blocks, 11.94 BTC were burned to mint 2 million STX tokens. According to Daemon Technologies this gives a conversion of 0.00000597 BTC/STX. It can be compared to a secondary market conversion at the time of this writing of 0.00001459 (1) BTC/STX, which implies overall profitability of 144.4% for the first 1000 blocks. 🔨
