392M STX restaked after the PoX 5 fork. That's 88% of last cycle's total.
Stacks is growing Bitcoin.

Stacks DeFi TVL:
@ZestProtocol $64M
@GraniteBTC $7.5M
@HermeticaFi $5.3M
@bitflow $2.6M
Lending holds 90% of it. BTC holders don't want to trade their bitcoin, they want to earn on it without selling. Latest from @castle_labs 👇

If you understand finance, you want your capital working. If you understand Bitcoin, you want to hold custody.
Stacks is the overlap.

Only 1% of Bitcoin earns yield. Its staking moment is what turns that idle $1.3T into productive capital. From @randgroup 👇

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.

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?

Bitcoin Staking banks its surplus: 15% of every cycle's excess goes into a protocol reserve. After eight simulated years, that buffer covers 1.2 years of yield owed.
Most crypto yield products carry no buffer at all. Research frrom @HouseofChimera 📊

Community Vote Update: the SIP 044 + SIP 045 voting window is shifting to give CAB groups more time to review and let authors incorporate helpful feedback from the CABs. New vote date is ~July 10 (or sooner, pending CAB approvals). Huge thanks to our CABs who have devoted careful review to SIP 045 in particular!

The eternal dilemma in finance is how much you want to make and how much you want to keep your money available.
@StackingDao tackles this on @Stacks with its liquid stacking model, which lets users earn competitive yields on STX without locking up assets.
The team released a teaser today announcing that something new is coming to the ecosystem.
Full details are set to be revealed on Wednesday, with a full launch planned for Q3 2026.
This development builds directly on their existing liquid stacking approach
Where holders are able to maximise stacking rewards and still have the flexibility to deploy their capital elsewhere when opportunities arise.
By keeping assets liquid, users avoid the traditional trade-off of freezing capital to earn yield.
This model enables participation in Stacks stacking while keeping capital productive across the broader ecosystem.
