Bitcoin Scaling Network Stacks Begins Nakamoto Upgrade Rollout

Stacks, the Bitcoin layer-2 network, is activating its Nakamoto upgrade, which is expected to significantly increase transaction speeds. The upgrade will decouple block production from Bitcoin, boosting it by 120 times and reducing confirmation times to seconds. The upgrade will be implemented over the next two weeks, and the Stacks Foundation plans to focus on sBTC adoption, interoperability, and decentralized applications.
