Have you heard of the STX token? It is the native currency of the Stacks network, a project aimed at bringing smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) to the security of the Bitcoin network.
What is the Stacks network?
Stacks is a blockchain layer built on Bitcoin, leveraging its immense security to enable developers to create smart applications and digital assets (like NFTs) directly on the strongest network, without altering Bitcoin itself.
What is the STX token and what are its uses?
STX is the fuel of the Stacks network and its main tool for:
* Paying transaction fees.
* Registering digital assets.
* Participating in the network consensus mechanism "Proof of Transfer".
* Stacking: Freezing STX to support the network and earn rewards paid in Bitcoin (BTC).
How does Stacks work?
It relies on the "Proof of Transfer" (PoX) mechanism: miners on Stacks use BTC, and this BTC is distributed as rewards to STX holders participating in stacking. This ties the security of Stacks to Bitcoin.
Why are STX and the Stacks network important?
Stacks allows the combination of Bitcoin's security with the smart contract functionalities it lacks on its own. This opens the door to decentralized finance (DeFi), NFT markets, and new applications built on a secure Bitcoin foundation.
