The @Stacks roadmap is live! 🟧 If you listened to the Town Hall today you will have heard about the self-custodial staking whitepaper being released in the next few weeks too So much has been shipped in the past few months and 2026 is shaping up to be a very exciting year

The biggest names in Bitcoin are backing Zest Protocol. @TimDraper led the seed round. @Yzilabs chose Zest Protocol among its first Bitcoin ecosystem investments. @Muneeb - Stacks founder - backed the protocol from the start.

Bitcoin is raw monetary energy. High volatility. High upside. Good reserve asset. @Strategy's STRC is step one. Bitcoin volatility gets absorbed, and what comes out is digital credit with a steadier yield profile.

Bitcoin-backed yield is the future. @Saylor mentions Hermetica as one of the first on-chain projects building it with @Strategy’s STRC. Live from Bitcoin 2026.

Transparency, independently confirmed. hBTC scored green on transparency in @bitcoin_yield’s latest Risk assessment review.

The gap between 'Bitcoin is a store of value' and 'Bitcoin is a productive asset' is closing fast. hBTC, HODLMM, Zest V2. Not long ago these were all on a roadmap. Now it's a product suite on Stacks.

Great breakdown from @RR2capital. Bitcoin dominance near 60% and we're building the infrastructure to put that capital to work. Lending, trading, yield, DeFi all secured by Bitcoin.

Fresh Stacks Snacks ↓

Zest Protocol is the liquidity hub of BTCFi. One third of all staked STX tokens run through the Zest Protocol Stacks market. 30m STX activated to secure the @Stacks network.

Bitcoin doesn't sleep on Stacks. $305M in sBTC TVL, 750+ AI agents transacting onchain, and the ecosystem keeps growing. Appreciate the coverage @HouseofChimera.

📌 Satoshi Designed for This. @Stacks Is Building It. 1⃣ Quote 1 "Escrow transactions, bonded contracts, third party arbitration, multi-party signature, etc. If Bitcoin catches on in a big way, these are things we'll want to explore in the future, but they all had to be designed at the beginning to make sure they would be possible later." — Satoshi Nakamoto, BitcoinTalk, June 17, 2010 2⃣ Quote 2 "Since 2007. At some point I became convinced there was a way to do this without any trust required at all and couldn't resist to keep thinking about it. Much more of the work was designing than coding." — Satoshi Nakamoto, BitcoinTalk, June 18, 2010 3⃣ Quote 3 "We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust." — Bitcoin Whitepaper, Conclusion, October 31, 2008 4⃣ Three takeaways ▸ Bitcoin was designed with financial layer expansion in mind ▸ That expansion had to follow a "trust-minimized" principle ▸ The groundwork had to be laid from the start 5⃣ How Stacks approaches this Stacks builds a financial layer on Bitcoin while trying to honor the principle Satoshi emphasized. · Transactions settle directly on Bitcoin L1 · PoX generates yield anchored in Bitcoin consensus · sBTC is a trust-minimized asset, not a custodial wrapper · Self-custodial BTC staking is in active R&D · Clarity is decidable by design, letting developers reason about contract behavior before deployment Read in this context, the direction Stacks is taking starts to look less like a pivot and more like a continuation. 📚 Sources · Satoshi Nakamoto Institute (satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org) · Bitcoin Whitepaper

Bridge from @solana to Stacks. Bridge from @SuiNetwork to Stacks. Bridge from @base to Stacks. Bridge from @Polygon to Stacks. Many more. Stablecoins moving freely across the entire ecosystem. This is multichain Bitcoin 🟧

@HermeticaFi It's been an incredible journey watching your team continue to build and ship through everything the past couple years have thrown at the world. Huge congratulations 🫡

hBTC checks all the boxes

Everyone wants yield on their Bitcoin. Store-of-value use of BTC is well understood, now people want income. @HermeticaFi just launched 5.45% earn. Hermetica deploys Bitcoin as collateral in on-chain lending markets, borrows stables to capture basis or STRC yield. Simple UX.

Soon.
