What Does Lightning’s Taro Proposal Mean for Stacks?
Last month, Lightning announced Taro, a proposed Bitcoin upgrade that allows for the representation of assets on Bitcoin.

⭐️ Highlight: A richer state representation on Bitcoin would be great for Stacks. Clarity, the smart contract programming language for Stacks, can read Bitcoin state. So in a world where Taro is implemented, you can imagine Clarity having more functions to allow Stacks to read and validate that state, giving us a deeper integration with those assets.
