Why Bitcoin

Stacks is built on Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the most secure, reliable, and decentralized blockchain. Stacks is a Bitcoin layer that enables smart contracts to use Bitcoin as an “asset" and settle transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin layers extend Bitcoin’s functionality without changing Bitcoin itself or compromising its security or decentralization.
