20 builders. Two weeks. $200 in participation rewards.
The Scaffold Stacks 20 Builders Challenge begins and submission opens September 17 through October 1st.
Your mission is to build and ship a full-stack Stacks dApp to testnet using Scaffold Stacks.
Twenty eligible builders will each receive a $10 participation reward.
Whether you are already building on Stacks or you’re exploring the ecosystem for the first time, this is your chance to start small, build something useful and ship it.
Submission opens: September 17, 2026

Bitcoin's next chapter is about more than holding an asset. It's about putting the world's most productive asset to work.
Bitcoin Bonds by @Stacks introduce a new primitive: native BTC yield, with Bitcoin remaining on L1 and in the holder's custody. We're excited to see this market develop 🟧
Happening today!
Secure your spot and take the first step towards building on Stacks. Join us, get hands-on, and start turning your ideas into working dApps.
Your Stacks builder journey starts here. Don't miss out!

Explore how to build, test, and deploy dApps using Scaffold Stacks from Clarity smart contracts to frontend integration and AI-assisted development. 🔥
Building on @Stacks should be straightforward, and that's exactly what we're working towards with Scaffold Stacks.
From project setup to contract deployment and frontend integration, we're making the entire development workflow simpler.
Come build with us.🟧
We've always advocated for a testnet-first approach to building on @Stacks. But before you deploy to testnet, you should be able to build and test your dApp locally as well without friction.
That's what this 2-minute demo shows.
- One command starts a local Stacks chain.
- One command deploys your contract.
- One command launches your frontend.
Choose an already devnet funded wallet and interact with your contract immediately on the debug UI.
No faucet. No waiting. No unnecessary setup.
With Scaffold Stacks, you go from a fresh project to a working, testable dApp in minutes.
The goal is simple: spend less time setting up your development environment and more time building on Stacks.

Building on @Stacks doesn't have to be complicated. @sfdstacks makes the developer experience simpler, from setting up your project to deploying and interacting with your smart contracts. Join us and see how easy building on Stacks can be!
Post-quantum Bitcoin has about a tenth of the bandwidth. The transactions have to live somewhere.
Wherever that is, it should be secured by Bitcoin hash power, settle in BTC, and pay yield in BTC. Not a separate chain with separate guarantees. From @muneeb at KBW.

stacksdapp 0.2.5 is out. This release enhances the local devnet flow and includes fixes for clean and redeploy.
- `stacksdapp dev` runs the local chain in that terminal
- `stacksdapp deploy --network devnet` deploys from a second terminal
- `stacksdapp dev --network devnet` starts the Next.js app against that local chain
- On devnet, Choose Wallet lists the funded accounts from `Devnet.toml`
- Testnet and mainnet still use Connect Wallet
- `stacksdapp clean` restores a running devnet to the snapshot and leaves the process up after which the next deploy uses the current contract name (no auto-version bump)
- Clean waits until Stacks is mining again. If the tip does not move, it restarts only the signer
- Auto-version steps forward only when that exact name is already on chain (`counter` to `counter-v2`)
Install or update: `cargo install stacksdapp`

The Binance hack already feels like old news and the market barely moved once it was clear the losses would be covered.
$6.3B is massive, but Binance stepping up with SAFU and treasury funds to make users whole is the right call. Users shouldn’t have to eat that.
At the same time, it’s not like self-custody is immune either. Phishing, malware, lost seeds, and contract bugs take people out all the time. Different risks, same outcome if you’re not careful.
Building safe still matters. On @Stacks that means clarity contracts and self-custodial dApps you control. Scaffold Stacks just makes it easier to get there without the usual friction.
These moments just highlight the trade-offs. Respect to everyone working through this. Hope users get their funds back smoothly. 🟧
Biggest hack in history and markets are showing resilience.
Clear sign of a maturing industry.
Meanwhile, Stacks ops team is preparing the next bond launch in the coming days.
Forward🛡️
This is your sign.
Building on @Stacks is effortless.
Everything you need: Clarity contracts, type-safe hooks, live debug UI, one-command deploy all bundled together, is one install away.
Build. Ship. Own it. 🟧
Get started:
cargo install stacksdapp

Bitcoin’s first chapter was digital gold.
Second chapter was corporate treasury asset.
Third chapter is the base layer of a new capital market where idle BTC becomes productive capital without ever leaving the holder’s control. We are early in chapter three.
We hosted a community builder call to walk through Scaffold Stacks, with participants building alongside us.
With @kenzman18 guiding the session, everyone built a full Stacks dApp of their own using the stacksdapp CLI, with AI agents assisting along the way.
By the end, every participant had deployed a contract to Stacks testnet and published their frontend to Vercel. They worked through project setup, connected Clarity contracts to the frontend, generated hooks and deployed.
Scaffold Stacks gives builders (New and Existing builders) a practical path through those steps, so they can spend less time wiring the project together and more time building the product.
The screenshots are from the call, with the community building in real time.

Cycle 145 is in the books. blockstack:native yields climbed through the whole cycle, and stBTC kept earning Bitcoin Staking yield on Stacks the entire time.
$100,269,077 TVL on Stacking DAO. stSTX sitting at 8.38% APY. Not bad for a cycle report.
JUST USE STACKING DAO!
Just built StacksBoard, an on-chain guestbook on Stacks testnet, with the Scaffold Stacks CLI. Clarity contract, Next.js frontend, wallet connect, deployed to Vercel. 🔥
