Stacks
Stacks is a decentralized network that aims to bring smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) to Bitcoin (BTC).

Stacks' unique selling proposition lies in its ability to leverage the robustness of Bitcoin's infrastructure while adding the flexibility of smart contracts and DApps. This is achieved through the Stacks blockchain, which operates as a layer-1 solution alongside Bitcoin.
