Stacking DAO's contracts are continuously tested by AI.

Our security harness runs the latest frontier models against the full contract set, incorporating each new model shortly after release.
The world might look scary right now.

But every bug that AI finds only makes the software stronger in the long term.

Same goes for Bitcoin and crypto. Projects that adapt will emerge stronger and resilient.

Bitcoin Staking brings yield. stBTC brings the collateral to @Stacks.

Great write-up by Stacy Muur below.
Stacks recently released its Q3 report with updates.

Here's a short TL;DR + some of my thoughts ↓

→ Bitcoin Staking

The first two staking rounds brought in 735 BTC, with 21Shares, HashKey Cloud, and UTXO Management among the participants.

→ Liquid Staking

@StackingDao f the 505 BTC in the second round. It now has 636 BTC worth of stBTC in circulation.

→ STX Staking

The amount of STX staked has grown by over 25% since the PoX-5 upgrade, from 392M to 493M STX.

→ Lending

@ZestProtocol now has over $122M in deposits and $42M in loans, with around 800 BTC used as collateral.

→ Trading

Trading across Stacks DEXs reached $16.7M in a single week in September, the highest in a year, with @Bitflow leading the activity.

My guess is that BTC staking will end up benefiting more than just the staking protocols.

More people borrowing against their staked BTC → more activity in lending markets and DEXs → more fees going to different parts of the ecosystem.

Quite the opportunity for the entire ecosystem.

Disclosure: I'm a long-time $STX holder and Stacks supporter.
