Stacks enables Bitcoin applications, but what does that mean in practice? 🤔
The Stacks blockchain is uniquely positioned to make reading from the Bitcoin chain easy for smart contracts on the Stacks network, and proof-of-transfer consensus even makes certain kinds of bitcoin transactions programmable from the Stacks network. 🚀
