If your onboarding flow requires users to acquire STX before using your product, you're introducing friction.
VelumX Relayer helps teams remove that friction with sponsored transactions.

Native STX staking v2 is live on Stacking DAO.
New features:
🟢 Skip the claim step, and receive rewards in BTC directly.
🟢 Switch payout settings, for example to claim as sBTC on Stacks.
The new pool will carry a 5% pool fee, among the lowest on @Stacks.

Long-term holders want to keep their BTC and avoid a taxable sale, so the next step is borrowing against it.
After yield, comes looping and stablecoin loans against staked BTC. What Ethereum and Solana have had, now coming to Bitcoin 🟧

This week, STX' B2 Token Transparency Filing went live across 350K+ @Bloomberg Terminals worldwide.
The B2 is Blockworks' continuous disclosure standard for mature protocols, and Stacks is among the largest projects by market cap to complete one.
Transparency at this level has been the standard from the beginning. STX was distributed through the first SEC-qualified token offering in US history, and the Grayscale Stacks Trust ($STCK) trades on OTCQB as the first publicly quoted US product providing exposure to STX.
Every mature asset class has a capital market. Bitcoin's is taking shape on Stacks, with STX as the staking capacity asset behind Bitcoin Staking and the asset powering finance native to Bitcoin. Capital entering that market deserves disclosure standards that match the ones it already knows.

A lot of fear in the market about Strategy and Bitcoin in general when STRC dipped to $75. Now it’s back to $95.
Once Stacks enables self-custodial Bitcoin staking, @saylor can potentially earn BTC yield and pay STRC dividends indefinitely.
Bitcoin capital markets, FTW!
Binance Will Support Bitcoin L2 Hardfork As Upgrade Countdown Begins
@Stacks Founder, @Muneeb, announced today that @Binance has officially committed to supporting the upcoming Stacks hardfork, scheduled to activate in approximately 279 $BTC blocks.
The upgrade, slated for arrival this Thursday, represents a terminal technical shift for the primary Bitcoin Layer-2, introducing a breakthrough in transaction finality and programmable utility for $BTC.
Addressing the "monitoring tag" currently placed on $STX by centralized exchanges, Muneeb indicates that the broader market has yet to internalize the magnitude of this architectural evolution.
Replying to @BullishVictory @binance
The network upgrade is handled extremely professionally. Testnets live, audits completed. Other exchanges and partners have already signaled support. We’re working on the confusion with Binance to ensure a smooth upgrade for them.

We created a Bitcoin Staking Roadmap page 🟠
Track everything related to Bitcoin Staking: timelines, links, posts, and updates as they ship leading up to the official launch.

The Endowment is aware of the monitoring tag attached to STX on Binance.
We’re in touch with the Binance team to address it and believe it is currently there as part of a regular review due to the upcoming hard fork.
If you're building on Stacks and want to remove onboarding friction from your app, let's talk. We'd love to help you integrate VelumX.

Moving toward gasless infrastructure is the right pivot. If we want Web3 to compete with Web2, the cryptoness of the backend needs to be completely abstracted away until the user is already hooked on the value proposition.
Most Web3 teams blame bad marketing when users ghost them. But honestly? The real killer is onboarding.
Wallet install, seed phrase, buy some STX, figure out gas… every extra step is another chance for people to nope out. The best apps let you feel the value first, without forcing you to learn crypto just to try it.
That’s why we’re building gasless infrastructure for Stacks, so users can actually show up and stay. Build stuff people finish, not onboarding marathons.
What’s the biggest onboarding headache you’ve seen (or dealt with) in Web3?

At @VelumXProtocol, we’re building gasless infra for Stacks to change that. Let's build stuff people actually finish.

Voting is live for both SIP-044 (self-custodial Bitcoin Staking) and SIP-045 (Clarity 6).
Your opinion matters in the @Stacks ecosystem. If you hold STX, review the proposals and cast your vote by July 21.

Congratulations to the Q2 2026 Grantees!!!
Excited to see what this cohort builds for the Stacks ecosystem.
1/ Announcing the Q2 2026 Stacks Endowment grantees.
This cycle, we selected 10 teams building across Bitcoin-native finance, liquidity, privacy, and agentic applications. The goal was not to fund the largest number of projects, but to back high-signal teams building work that can compound alongside sBTC, Bitcoin Staking, and Stacks adoption.
