Bitcoin Staking

Self-custodial yield gives Bitcoin holders a compelling reason to bring long-term capital on-chain. STX becomes the staking capacity, delivering sustainable Bitcoin yield.

Performance

With capital anchored, core performance upgrades prepare the network for real DeFi volume and AI agent activity at scale. Core developers are targetting a 100x for throughput and performance.

Bitcoin-native Finance

With proven infrastructure and real liquidity, a financial economy native to Bitcoin expands naturally. Lending, trading, perpetuals, programmable capital, all downstream of a thriving, capital-rich base.
