Last weekend, we saw a spike in activity on Stacks, thanks to the @stx20stacks mint, and we saw the biggest Stacks block *ever*, with block #132377 containing 10,371 transactions 🤯

A year ago, this mint would have clogged the chain for days. A lot’s changed since then.👇

@AgeNeutral @hirosystems Yes, the updated docs for Beta inclduing the migration guyide and updated payloads are here : https://t.co/ypf8oyPJA0
We will continue to update as we roll out new features.

Reach out if you want to try our Chainhook-2.0 Beta!

[sarala.btc @saralabp]

Chainhooks has been pushed to its limits by the community, and it became clear that incremental refactors wouldn’t cut it. So we rebuilt the entire system from the ground up.

Introducing Chainhooks 2.0 Beta: a new event pipeline designed for throughput, reliability, and deterministic delivery.

[Hiro @hirosystems]

Chainhooks 2.0 (Beta) is here! 🚀

We rebuilt it from scratch. No more missed blocks, no more running your own nodes, no more fragile infra.

Full details 👇

[sarala.btc @saralabp]

You also get a cleaner dev surface:
• REST API for creating/managing hooks
• Typed JS SDK
• More predictable performance under load
We’re keeping beta seats limited so we can work closely with builders pushing high-volume workloads.

@mrwolf_btc @hirosystems Thanks for flagging this! We’re updating the error message to make it clearer and to better verify your metadata response.

@tripnm0nkey @ECBSJ @instoppabile @herogamer21btc @one_bns @hirosystems Chainhook is now syncing and will be fully restored in the next 30min.

[sarala.btc @saralabp]

@tripnm0nkey @ECBSJ @instoppabile @herogamer21btc @one_bns @hirosystems We beefed up our infra yesterday to improve the availability and are actively looking into the delay now.
Will follow up here with more updates.

Look at this data from Q1, this is great data to see that despite the tx volume being steady, the fee has decreased post the new estimator.

[sarala.btc @saralabp]

Our new fee estimator API has been live for a few months, offering improved accuracy. Based on ecosystem feedback and questions, sharing this deep dive from @rafaelcr on how it works under the hood.

Using it in your app? I'd love to hear about your experience, keen to understand both wins and pain points.

[Rafael Cárdenas @rafaelcr]

We just launched a new fee estimator in the @hirosystems Stacks API that massively improves the accuracy of suggested transaction fees. In most cases "more accurate" = "way cheaper". Think 10-100x cheaper.

Let's talk about why and how we did it 👇

Stacks roadmap is simple:

Increase usage, reduce friction.

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.

What a joy to witness this massive effort materialize on a Testnet!

The team is fixing bugs, optimizing and fine tuning. More details on the thread. The mainnet hardfork block might be adjusted, more details to follow soon.

For now, feast your eyes on this gorgeous thing!

LFG!

On August 28, final code for Nakamoto will be shipped to network operators & the Activation window will open!

Network operators will have Cycle 92 to upgrade; pending a successful Signer handoff from Cycle 92 to 93, core devs will select the final hard fork block.
