Stacks’ Nakamoto upgrade is now live, introducing “fast blocks” and “Bitcoin finality” mechanisms
On October 29th, Muneeb Ali, co-founder of the Bitcoin Layer2 network Stacks, announced on the X platform that Stacks' Nakamoto upgrade has been successfully launched. With this upgrade, for Stacks Layer2 transactions, Bitcoin's finality reaches 100%, transaction sequencing and reversal are protected by all of Bitcoin's hash power; "Fast Blocks" will be shortened to a few seconds, rather than Bitcoin's 10-40 minutes; Stacks is no longer forked from Bitcoin, and the only way for Stacks L2 to fork is to reorganize Bitcoin itself;
Nakamoto laid the foundation for SBTC's launch, which is expected to be launched within 4-6 weeks from now. Core developers have released this version, focusing on network security and conducting large-scale upgrades. In the coming weeks, more optimization measures will be launched for network bandwidth and latency; these upgrades are not consensus-critical upgrades, but normal node upgrades.
