1/12 Today a public Stacks ecosystem working group published a white paper on sBTC, a proposed asset unique to
@Stacks
that will make Bitcoin fully programmable by solving the “Bitcoin write problem” that has frustrated developers for years.
Nothing like a snappy API to get you through the day.
We’ve reduced block ingestion time in the Stacks Blockchain API by 85-95% 🔥.
This means devs will see transactions reflected closer to the same time as they are mined, so the Explorer and API will feel much snappier.
