Stacks is additional software built on top of Bitcoin that lets people run programs and earn returns using Bitcoin, without changing how Bitcoin itself works. Of the 5 things it promised, it delivered 0, 1 is past due and not yet checked, 4 are still open (4 with no date); nothing dated is coming up. It trades at $0.2599, #107 of all coins by size, 93% below its highest ever price.

This week in the news: funding, new software release, staking or airdrop, upgrade or launch live.

A real job, real backing. Delivered 0 of 5, 1 past due, not yet checked. Nothing dated ahead. Biggest of 7 Bitcoin sidechains. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.

Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

  • Openno dateStacks Labs says it will work with the Leather wallet through 2026 on upgrades including support for Bitcoin staking, multi-signature wallets, Ledger hardware wallet support, general interface improvements, and later, Bitcoin identity features.
    Details
    “Labs' partnership with Leather in 2026 is focused on ensuring the wallet keeps pace with the ecosystem's most important product launches and fills critical functionality gaps that are limiting adoption. We'll work directly with their team on key upgrades such as: Native Bitcoin Staking support: Leather must be a first-class interface for the Bitcoin Staking program. Multi-sig functionality: Adding multi-signature wallet support to Leather, enabling shared custody arrangements that institutional users and teams require. Multi-sig is a prerequisite for meaningful institutional participation. Ledger hardware wallet integration: Continuing to support and improve the Ledger app ensuring that hardware wallet users have a reliable, up-to-date integration path for interacting with Stacks through Leather. Improved Leather interactions: General UX improvements to core wallet interactions: transaction signing, token management, dApp connections (based on user feedback and observed friction points). BNS V2 / Bitcoin Identity: Support for BNS V2 is on the backlog for both Leather and the Explorer. As usage and demand grow, we intend to bring improved Bitcoin identity features into the products where they matter most.”

Same job, different how

Bitcoin Sidechains: this coin next to Fractal Bitcoin, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.

Stacks says
Stacks is additional software built on top of Bitcoin that lets people run programs and earn returns using Bitcoin, without changing how Bitcoin itself works.
Fractal Bitcoin says
Fractal Bitcoin is the only Bitcoin scaling solution that uses the Bitcoin Core code itself to recursively scale unlimited layers on top of the world’s most-secure and -held blockchain.

Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.

What it is

Stacks is additional software built on top of Bitcoin that lets people run programs and earn returns using Bitcoin, without changing how Bitcoin itself works.

Its listing puts it this way: Stacks brings Apps and Smart Contracts to Bitcoin. Apps built on Stacks inherit all of Bitcoin’s powers.

Problem it says it solves: a platform other apps build on. 52 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $408,727,547,844.

Where it trades: Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, Binance, OKX

Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.

Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.

What should make me careful?

Nothing printed today

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it. That is the built-in reason anyone needs it.

That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.

Basics
  • 1.87Bin circulation of 1.87B total. No hard maximum is set, so more can be created.
  • 7%of its all-time high of $3.86 on 1 April 2024. That is −93.3% from the top.
  • #107by market cap, $485,560,638.
  • Not checkedwho holds the most coins, and how much has been burned. Those need on-chain data this site does not read yet.

Real use, in dollars

  • Users paid $45.02K in fees to use it in the last 30 days
