Frequently Asked Questions
What is STX?
STX is the native token of the Stacks blockchain, a Bitcoin Layer 2 that brings smart contracts and decentralized apps (dapps) to Bitcoin. It’s secured by Bitcoin through a unique consensus mechanism called Proof of Transfer (PoX), which anchors Stacks transactions directly to the Bitcoin blockchain.
STX is used to pay for transaction fees, interact with smart contracts, and earn Bitcoin rewards through a process known as Stacking. By holding and locking STX, users help secure the network and receive BTC payouts directly from Bitcoin miners.
