✅ Pay gas fees with sBTC ✅ Instant sBTC transfers ✅ 100% self-custodial ✅ No need to manage channels or liquidity Can Bolt + Stacks become a real alternative to the Lightning Network?

Payments on @Stacks are fast. But are they lightning ⚡️ bolt fast using sBTC as fees? In our recent Dev N' Tell livestream, indie dev @Ronoel demos how much faster payments can be if wallets integrate with Bolt Protocol, which is a set of contracts on Stacks.

Stacks will make Bitcoin far more useful by bringing $BTC to DeFi. And since @Stacks is a Bitcoin L2, there's nothing more natural than using BTC itself to pay transaction fees. Excited to see more projects on Stacks enabling sBTC as gas for their users!

Bolt Protocol @boltprotobtc by @Ronoel Users can now pay dApp fees with sBTC and instantly transfer between Bolt Wallets. It’s smoother, faster, and removes major pain points for Bitcoin-native app users.

Stacks is symbiotic with Bitcoin because it uses Bitcoin as its secure base layer while enabling smart contracts and dApps that Bitcoin can't natively support. It leverages Bitcoin's security through Proof of Transfer (PoX), where miners spend BTC to mine Stacks blocks, and STX holders can "stack" to earn BTC rewards. The Nakamoto upgrade ensures 100% Bitcoin finality, meaning Stacks transactions are as secure as Bitcoin’s. For BTC holders, this unlocks DeFi (like lending on Zest Protocol), digital artifacts (via STX20), and app development—turning BTC into a productive asset without compromising Bitcoin's blockchain.
