Say hi to the new fxhash! 🚀
After a year in the making, we're ready to present you with the new fxhash experience—reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up.
Take it for a spin now 👉 https://t.co/WcGEREKd2F
Ready to see what’s new? Let's talk details 🧵
@whoabuddydev Yes you can just use the https://t.co/MoPtJaoE6T url pointing to the JSON.
It would be great to come up with a more generic approach that doesn't rely to a centralised gateway, like for ipfs "ipfs://<cid>" or arweave "ar://<id>". Maybe smth like "ord://<id>".
New feature on @stackspulse: You can now view user stats in two ways - "nested" or "direct"!
"Nested" shows everyone who's used the protocol, including indirect interactions (like using @VelarBTC through @bitflow), while "direct" shows only direct protocol usage.

Thank you to our award sponsors @AeonsBTC and @OnChainMonkey for their generous support!
A WASM implementation of Clarity is coming, and while I don't know what the final performance numbers will be (it's under development), I can say that it'll probably be between 10x to 100x faster than the current VM. That's 10x-100x more TPS.
NEWS: the stacks nakamoto upgrade is successfully live!
- 100% bitcoin finality for stacks l2 transactions. the tx ordering and reversal protected by full bitcoin hashpower. satoshi’s idea from 13 years ago.
- fast blocks give latency of seconds instead of 10-40 mins of bitcoin.
- stacks no longer forks separate from bitcoin. only way to fork stacks l2 is to reorg bitcoin itself.
- mining becomes much more efficient giving higher btc yield for stacks holders.
- nakamoto sets the foundations for sbtc to go live, expected 4-6 weeks from now.
- core devs shipped this version focused on network safety, given massive upgrade. in the coming weeks more optimizations for network bandwidth and latency will go live. these upgrades are not consensus critical and will be normal node upgrades.
kudos to the core devs for the 1.5 years plus of insane work. they successfully installed a new engine on a plane that was in-flight — legendary work 🟧🚀
