FAQ

Why bother with Stacks and Clarity when Ethereum and Solidity already exist and have the lion’s share of the market?

Bitcoin is the largest, most valuable, and most durable decentralized asset. The Stacks layer unlocks $500B in BTC capital using the Bitcoin L1 as settlement for decentralized applications. Recent traction with Ordinals (nearly 1M inscriptions) has demonstrated that projects will migrate to Bitcoin and be more valuable on Bitcoin. For example, DeGods (#1 Solana NFT project) moved to Bitcoin, and Yuga Labs. Projects such as Uniswap (with more liquidity than ETH Uniswap) are possible on Bitcoin with sBTC and the Nakamoto release.
