Stacks (STX) is the native token of the Stacks blockchain, a layer-one blockchain built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Stacks blockchain is designed to enable developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) with smart contracts, tokenize assets, and build digital marketplaces. The STX token is built using the Clarity smart contract language, which is a purpose-built, secure, and auditable language. The Clarity language and STX token are designed to be used in secure and reliable smart contracts that can be used to tokenize assets, create financial instruments, and power decentralized applications.
The Stacks blockchain utilizes a Proof-of-Transfer (PoX) consensus protocol, which rewards miners for verifying transactions with a combination of Bitcoin and STX tokens. The PoX consensus protocol is designed to provide a secure, reliable, and decentralized platform for the Stacks network.
The Stacks Ecosystem is composed of the Stacks network, the Stacks token (STX), and the Stacks wallets and applications. The Stacks wallets provide users with a secure and easy way to store, send, and receive STX. The Stacks applications enable developers to build and deploy dApps powered by the Stacks blockchain.
The STX token is used to secure and power the Stacks network. It is used to reward miners for verifying transactions and for powering dApp transactions. STX can also be used to stake and earn rewards, purchase digital assets, and pay for services. Additionally, holders of STX can vote on important network decisions.
Stacks was created by the Blockstack PBC, a public benefit corporation based in the United States. The Blockstack PBC was founded in 2013 by Muneeb Ali and Ryan Shea. The Blockstack PBC is responsible for the development and maintenance of the Stacks network, including the core protocol, wallet, and other tools.
