Best 3 Centralized Exchanges to Buy Stacks

Stacks brings DeFi to Bitcoin without clogging the mainnet. Ethereum’s smart contracts are built on the mainnet. This results in heavy network congestion and high fees.

However, having smart contracts on layer 2 such as Stacks might resolve DeFi’s scalability concerns. Stacks is a Layer 1 blockchain that relies on Bitcoin’s security using a unique consensus mechanism called Proof of Transfer (PoX)

What is Stacks About?

The Stacks blockchain is pretty unique. Its native token is , which has almost $1 billion in marketcap and $265,500 in 24-hour trading volume.  The blockchain has both miners and stakers. Stacks offers two main ways to earn rewards on your assets:

  1. Stacking: Users can stake their STX and earn BTC provided by miners. This process is known as “stacking.” Stacking works similarly to most proof of stake (PoS) blockchains in that holders provide security and earn interest. However, STX stakers receive BTC as a reward.

: Miners in Stacks integrate BTC into the system to leverage Bitcoin’s proof-of-work (PoW) security. By adding Bitcoin to the chain, you have the opportunity to participate in mining and receive the Stacks block reward. Stackers will receive bitcoin as payment for reaching consensus.

How to Buy Stacks?

You can buy STX on any of the following centralized exchanges:

  1. Binance
  2. Coinbase
