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 🧵

Tomorrow.

USDCx on Stacks is now live.

A USDC-backed stablecoin is now available via @Circle xReserve, enabling full interoperability between Circle's multichain ecosystem and Bitcoin's leading L2.

Bitcoin just got a Tier 1 stablecoin 🟠

[Stacks Developers @StacksDevs]

Clarinet 3.9.0 is released! 🚨

tl;dr
- NPM packages are now published under the `@ stacks` org
- Clarity VSCode extension is now published under the Stacks Labs org
- Usage of new Clarity 4 features now available

Check out the threaded link to learn how you can migrate over.

[Stacks Developers @StacksDevs]

TypeScript devs, this one's for you 👀

Stacks Labs shared they're experimenting with a way to write plain TypeScript and transpile it into Clarity smart contracts, runnable in Clarinet.

Goal: make onboarding & shipping faster for TS builders on Bitcoin.

Ok, office hours space is happening! Kicking it off next Monday at 10:30am ET

Initial format is an hour - start with a guest (eg a Hiro employee or someone from eco) talking about what they're working on and then just a bunch of community Q&A time.

For Stacks to be a generational product, it needed to be build the right way.

Now, Stacks is leading the charge for broader crypto adoption.

You can now test your code with mainnet data in Clarinet simnet.

Building on top of other Stacks contracts just got a whole lot easier. 🧵

[Kenny Rogers @KenTheRogers]

New @hirosystems cookbook is 🔥

Excited to see this grow and have a library of composable code snippets for Stacks devs

[muneeb.btc @muneeb]

stacks network completes a 500% increase in network bandwidth.

the tenure-extend feature of nakamoto that increases network capacity has been live on mainnet. core devs plan to work on several other optimizations in 2025 but it’s great to see this one live already!

[Hiro @hirosystems]

sBTC is live! 🔥🚀

You can now put your Bitcoin to work in DeFi apps, whether you want to take out a stablecoin loan against your Bitcoin, deposit sBTC into a liquidity pool to earn yield, and more.

With programmable BTC, everything in Bitcoin DeFi becomes possible.

[Bitcoin L2 Labs @BitcoinL2Labs]

The sBTC Mainnet Release is Live with Bitcoin Deposits! 🟧

Today is an exciting day for @Stacks and the broader Bitcoin ecosystem - the first version of sBTC is here, enabling users to mint sBTC on the Stacks layer!

🧵 This thread covers the nuts and bolts. 1/6

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 🟧🚀

[muneeb.btc @muneeb]

the stacks nakamoto binary is released today on github and shipped to known network operators and exchanges.

the bitcoin block 867,867 for hardfork is coded in this release. all systems are a go and bitcoin block countdown starts!

[ludo @ludo_txtx]

🚀 Introducing Txtx (β): The ultimate companion for anchor/clarinet/foundry/hardhat (more soon).
When these tools are great for writing and testing contracts/programs, Txtx is pushing the envelope on deployment & ops
We need 50⭐️ to make it on brew, help: https://t.co/pgtDQ0Z3eK

@setzeus With the latest Clarinet release, we have realistic burn and stacks blocks time in the simnet with `get-stacks-block-info?` and `get-tenure-info?`.
Maybe I could quickly cover that

[Hugo Clrd @Cohars]

@croloris Hey, I DMed you about an LSP extension compiled to wasm, mentioning https://t.co/Ce3SeCA5dz as well 👍 (might be in your spam DMs)
