Stacks upgrade is focusing on the security of the network, the speed of transactions and the movement of coins between Bitcoin and L2s.
Muneeb Ali, the co-founder of Stacks noted that the upgrade will enable Bitcoin L2s to support DeFi applications currently on the works. The infrastructure improvements will also benefit Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens which are seeing a spike of interest in recent months.
The Nakamoto upgrade rollout will continue over the next month, improving block times from the current 10-30 minutes to around five seconds.
