Stacks: Unlocking BTC Capital
summary
Claims that over $1 trillion idle BTC can be made productive, with Stacks focusing on a permissionless bridge design called sbdc and an alpha port to Solana. Technical detail: bitVM and other rollup work reduce bridge trust to one honest party, letting users move BTC between L1 and L2 without centralized custodians. Stacks is upgrading STX for faster blocks, developing a Rust toolchain and a working alpha bridge to Solana — prototypes exist but full mainnet security and UX are still in progress.
