Another round of applause because Dual Stacking is officially here! Bitcoin holders can now earn real Bitcoin on their Bitcoin. It might be the first DeFi product that truly aligns incentives with Bitcoin itself. The Dual Stacking vision is simple: more Bitcoin liquidity on Stacks fuels more DeFi activity, which strengthens the network and increases BTC yield for everyone.
