Key Technical Advantages:
Bitcoin Finality: Stacks transactions are secured by the entire hash power of Bitcoin, ensuring that after approximately 100 Bitcoin blocks (around one day), transactions on the Stacks layer are irreversible without a Bitcoin reorganization.
Trust-minimized Bitcoin Peg: The Nakamoto release introduces a decentralized, non-custodial, Bitcoin-pegged asset (sBTC) to enable faster and cheaper smart contracts using a Bitcoin-pegged asset without compromising security.
Clarity Language: Stacks uses the Clarity language, a safe and decidable programming language for smart contracts, enabling developers to verify contract behavior with mathematical certainty before execution.
Knowledge of Bitcoin State: Stacks has full knowledge of the Bitcoin state, allowing it to trustlessly read Bitcoin transactions and state changes, and execute smart contracts based on Bitcoin transactions.
Scalable, Fast Transactions: Stacks offers high performance and scalability through faster layer blocks between Bitcoin blocks, and the ability to build additional scalability layers, such as subnets, for different performance and decentralization trade-offs.
