Claude: Good place to break for the day. Lots committed, the PR is waiting for you, and everything tested end-to-end.

Bitcoin Staking makes it possible to earn BTC while you hold the keys - no bridges, wrappers, or custodians in the middle.

[stacks.btc @Stacks]

Hold BTC. Earn BTC. That's what Bitcoiners want.

Today we're publishing the Bitcoin Staking whitepaper.

Self-custodial. BTC-denominated yield.

Here's what it is and why it matters 🧵

[andre.btc @andrerserrano]

@neerajprasad Huge, congrats @neerajprasad!

[stacks.btc @Stacks]

Institutions are sitting on trillions in Bitcoin with no way to earn yield.

Bitcoin staking on Stacks changes that as the only project architecting native BTC yield from day one.

Watch Stacks contributors cover what they're building:

Moonpay has been on an absolute tear with acquisitions lately.

Legendary run

[Jack Kubinec @whosknave]

Exclusive: MoonPay has acquired @dflow in a $100 million all-stock deal

DFlow, which builds Solana trading infrastructure, will bolster MoonPay's offerings for crypto traders

It's MoonPay's sixth acquisition in the past 18 months as the company prepares to eventually go public

BTC is pristine collateral and demand for borrowing against it is only growing.

@ZestProtocol has played a huge role in making Stacks the leading Bitcoin L2 for lending. Bullish on what the team has cooking this year

[Zest Protocol @ZestProtocol]

Zest Protocol is becoming the base layer for BTC yield.

🔸Ranked top BTC yield strategy by @bitcoin_yield

🔸800 BTC deployed, earning 1.69% apy

🔸Powers up to 8% APY on @HermeticaFi's hBTC vault

[andre.btc @andrerserrano]

@CarpeNoctom so this time it’s different?

[andre.btc @andrerserrano]

@randhindi Agree. I’d also add data.

[andre.btc @andrerserrano]

@adamdelphantom Let's go!

[andrew chen @andrewchen]

bullish on the PM role quietly becoming the most important role in tech again

when anyone can build, the person who decides WHAT to build becomes the bottleneck

[andre.btc @andrerserrano]

@KenTheRogers @OpenRouter Exciting news, congrats @KenTheRogers!

Currently using 402x more tokens. Interesting.

[andre.btc @andrerserrano]

@gajesh technically only these companies do

[RafShiToshi @RaphaStacks]

Agents are the users.

Bitcoin is their capital.

STX is their savings account.
