Why it matters
Stacks extends Bitcoin with smart contract capability without changing Bitcoin itself, settling its state to the Bitcoin chain and using a consensus mechanism tied to Bitcoin mining. Its sBTC design aims to let bitcoin move into programmable applications without a conventional custodial bridge, which is the central technical promise investors should evaluate.
