L2s are a natural progression of the Bitcoin evolution

Bitcoin narrative has revolved around digital gold

But it can also become a network powering Web3 apps

In fact, L2s open the door for BTC to play a productive role in DeFi and various apps

Stacks is enabling Bitcoin-backed DeFi

Using BTC in lending, derivative, and DEX protocols will be possible thanks to sBTC

DeFi will only make the Bitcoin ecosystem more valuable

It's time to keep experimenting with new use cases

Building on Bitcoin has been viewed as a contrarian approach

So why Stacks ecosystem is doing it?

Because with Bitcoin, the value is already there

It's just about finding the optimal way to unlock it and create new use cases

The Stacks Nakamoto testnet is now live!

With this release, 5-second blocks are implemented, brining us one step closer to the mainnet Nakamoto upgrade

Another good news for developers: Clarity WASM also went live, making Clarity contracts much faster
