Earn BTC Rewards while Staking Stacks with Figment
Stacks is a smart contract platform built on top of Bitcoin. Stacks functions similarly to a Layer 2 on Ethereum, allowing for faster, cheaper transactions and new use cases for Bitcoin through programmability. Its native cryptocurrency, the STX token, is used to ensure Stacks network security and govern the protocol.

What is Stacks?
What Problem does Stacks Solve?
Transactions on Stacks are significantly faster and cheaper than on Bitcoin. Currently, Stacks blocks coincide with Bitcoin blocks (about one every 10 minutes), but will be upgraded to approximately 5-second block times after the network’s Nakamoto upgrade. Transaction fees are also significantly lower than on Bitcoin. Finally, Stacks brings smart contract functionality to Bitcoin and opens the door to a universe of new Bitcoin dApps.
A major Stacks network upgrade called the Nakamoto release is now in development that will bring writability to the Bitcoin network and allow for easier interaction between native BTC and dApps.

What makes Stacks Important?
01
Proof-of-Transfer (POX)
Stacks uses a unique consensus method called Proof-of-Transfer (PoX) that has both staking and mining components to secure the network. In PoX, a Stacks ‘miner’ opts into Stacks consensus and sends BTC-denominated bids on the Bitcoin L1 for the right to produce a new Stacks block. No material energy expenditures, extra equipment, or specialized hardware is required to mine STX.
