About Stacks

Stacks is a layer-1 blockchain solution designed to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities by enabling the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. By leveraging Bitcoin's security and stability, Stacks allows developers to create applications that operate on the Bitcoin network while utilizing its underlying features. This integration ensures that the applications benefit from Bitcoin's robust infrastructure while introducing programmable logic that can execute automatically based on predefined conditions. The Stacks framework empowers developers to build applications that prioritize user control and transparency, as they are governed by code rather than centralized entities. This shift enables a new class of decentralized applications that can perform functions beyond the reach of traditional applications, fostering innovation and expanding the potential use cases of Bitcoin. As a result, Stacks aims to bridge the gap between Bitcoin's foundational strengths and the evolving demands of the digital economy.
