Stacks?
Unleash Bitcoin
Leverage Bitcoin’s security and over $1T of economic power to build your app. Write smart contracts that directly interact with Bitcoin state, such as a Bitcoin lending app where the BTC never has to leave the Bitcoin blockchain.
Functional smart contracts
With Clarity, developers and users alike know exactly what contracts will do before it is executed. It’s a functional, safe and readable language for smart contracts — perfect for high-stakes code where bugs are costly.

Security
Stacks allows you to leverage the power of Bitcoin as you build thanks to its Proof of Transfer consensus mechanism. Smart contracts and transactions on Stacks are settled to Bitcoin, the most decentralized, battle-tested blockchain in existence.
