Stacks has approved its Bitcoin-staking plan, activating PoX-5 on July 30, 2026, at Bitcoin block 960,230. This system combines a Bitcoin timelock with an STX lock to generate BTC-denominated yield while allowing users to keep control of their Bitcoin keys. Initial parameters such as capacity and yield rates will be set by the Stacks Endowment during the bootstrap phase, with potential adjustments before launch.
