The Stacks blockchain has initiated the rollout of its Nakamoto upgrade, a significant two-phase enhancement process starting with the first of two hard forks. This upgrade, which began at Bitcoin block 840,360, introduces several improvements including enhanced security, increased speed, fast blocks, Bitcoin finality, and the ability to move Bitcoin between Layer 1 and Layer 2. The first phase of the upgrade also includes a special promotion offering a 20x point bonus on new STX deposits. Full activation of the Nakamoto upgrade is anticipated between May 15-29, following extensive development and community feedback over the past year.
