Own your share of the future internet
Stacks enables a user owned internet. We believe in a future where the ownership rights you enjoy in the physical world extend to the digital world—an internet where everyone can participate in value creation.

The Stacks 2.0 blockchain is our master design (launching late 2020), and the foundation of a new digital ecosystem that allows all of us to participate as owners.
Stacks MENA: Awareness, education, growth.

The Stacks Ecosystem is a vibrant community and ecosystem that includes independent entities, developers, and community members working to build a user-owned internet. The main objectives and vision of the MENA chapter are to educate a new generation of blockchain developers, build broad awareness, expand the user-base, and extend the accessibility to Stacks in the region through partnerships, entrepreneurial events, summits, hackathons, and other activities.

A new way to earn BTC
Stacking


By 'Stacking', or locking* STX to the network and sending periodic transactions, STX holders actively support consensus, further securing the network and earning regular bitcoin (BTC) rewards. Stacking is a new, more secure way to earn bitcoin without the need to build costly mining setups, leverage 3rd-party DeFi products built on potentially insecure Solidity contracts, or get involved in centralized lending schemes.


With the Stacks 2.0 launch, over 300,000 STX holders will be able to earn BTC in by holding STX.

Why Decentralization Matters
Cryptonetworks are a powerful way to develop community-owned networks and provide a level playing field for 3rd-party developers, creators, and businesses. We saw the value of decentralized systems in the first era of the internet. Hopefully we'll get to see it again in the next.

The King Of Blockchains, Bitcoin Can Become The Foundation For Web 3.0
Bitcoin remains the undisputed "king" of blockchains. Bitcoin's dominance has increased significantly since the experimental times of 2017. However, the crypto industry has dismissed Bitcoin when it comes to smart contracts or Web 3.0. I believe this is going to change.

Why Bitcoin Matters
Bitcoin offers a sweeping vista of opportunity to reimagine how the financial system can and should work in the Internet era, and a catalyst to reshape that system in ways that are more powerful for individuals and businesses alike.

DeFi won't last long without unlocking Bitcoin's $250B treasure chest
By recognizing the opportunity to build on Bitcoin, I believe that we may see a future where Bitcoin continues to be the king of blockchains. As DeFi continues to grow, it's entirely possible that Bitcoin will remain the center of gravity for crypto and that smart contracts around Bitcoin will natively unlock innovation and $250 billion in Bitcoin capital.

Blockstack CEO Says Bitcoin Is a Better DeFi Solution Than Most Think
As interest in smart contracts surges, some Bitcoiners are asking: why can't Bitcoin (BTC) become the foundation for smart contracts too, instead of Ethereum (ETH)?
