ℹ Overview of Stacks
Stacks is a Bitcoin Layer 2 network that brings smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) to Bitcoin without modifying the base protocol. Using its unique Proof of Transfer (PoX) consensus mechanism, Stacks anchors its security to Bitcoin and allows developers to build on Bitcoin’s stability, decentralization, and liquidity.
With Stacks, smart contracts are written in Clarity, a predictable, secure programming language that enables full visibility into contract behavior. This makes Stacks a powerful platform for building trust-minimized applications that settle on the most secure blockchain—Bitcoin.
