🔄 Release the StableSwap - Arkadiko X ALEX (source: Arkadiko Medium) The fine folks at Alex are bringing Arkadiko the technology to create a new type of liquidity mechanism, a StableSwap pool. Such a pool is fundamental to the Arkadiko Protocol as it allows for low fee and low slippage swaps between USDA, Arkadiko’s Stablecoin and xUSD, a wrapped version of USDC custodied by Anchorage and issued by Tokensoft. The two stablecoins already exist on the Stacks blockchain but are not directly linked to each other. Thanks to the StableSwap pool, we’ll soon be able to swap between the two stablecoins.

👁 sBTC Explained with Xverse Although Stacks has made significant progress, there’s still no way to move BTC in and out of smart contracts in a fully trustless manner. This has been Bitcoin’s evasive “holy grail” issue for almost a decade. Enter sBTC: a non-custodial form of pegged Bitcoin with 100% Bitcoin finality. The Stacks network's PoX connection to Bitcoin facilitates sBTC’s novel trustless peg design. Soon, users can convert BTC to sBTC for use in applications without involving centralized entities. Furthermore, users don’t pay any fees when converting between BTC and sBTC other than Bitcoin gas fees. Read the full article 👈

Step Aside, Ethereum: Blockchain Project Stacks Wants to Bring Smart Contracts to Bitcoin (source: Coindesk) "Blockchain project Stacks has published a whitepaper showing how a new digital asset called “Stacks bitcoin” (sBTC) can be used to make Bitcoin fully programmable." "Unlike Ethereum or Solana where developers can conjure up all manner of algorithmic machinations – think six-figure gorilla avatars – Bitcoin’s simpler scripting language limits what Bitcoin developers can create on the platform. Stacks, an existing smart contract platform, wants to break through those limitations by introducing a new digital asset derived from Bitcoin" Read the full article
