Stacks upgrades aim to boost speed, security and rewards as native token surges into top 30 cryptos

Stacks is a layer 2 protocol built on top of Bitcoin, with native token STX up 70% recently to become a top 30 crypto
The upcoming "Nakamoto" upgrade for Stacks will settle transactions in 5-10 seconds, protect against blockchain reorganizations, and expand DeFi potential
The upgrade is also expected to increase rewards for STX token holders and make mining more profitable
The later sBTC upgrade will enable trustless bridging of Bitcoin to Stacks blockchain via threshold signatures and validator network
Stacks team sees complementary potential with emerging BitVM technology and has contributed funding toward its development
