Option 2 works today: bridge BTC to sBTC at boltproto.org/bridge, then users send sBTC or sign any contract call, like a buy, with the fee in sBTC. Zero STX. USDC comes in as USDCx; the swap to sBTC is outside Bolt. Who signs a buy today: the passkey wallet or your backend?

Building on @Stacks? Your users don't need STX. Bolt sponsors any contract call they sign and takes the fee in sBTC, the token they already hold. Non-custodial, no API key, no signup. Wallets, launchpads, games, agents: one POST. boltproto.org/llms-full.txt

Yes. Bolt is an open API on Stacks, no key and no signup. Your users sign the contract call and pay the network fee in sBTC, so they never need STX. Docs: boltproto.org/llms-full.txt Happy to help you wire it into fak.fun. We'll follow up by DM.

Bridge in and out of @Stacks, now live in Bolt Wallet. BTC ⇄ sBTC and USDC ⇄ USDCx from one screen, with zero STX in your wallet. Send sBTC back to Bitcoin or USDCx to Ethereum as USDC, and follow every step until it lands. boltproto.org/bridge cc @stackslabs

How it works: 1. Pick sBTC or USDCx, enter the address and the amount 2. Your wallet shows exactly what leaves it: the amount plus the Bolt fee 3. You sign once. Bolt pays the STX fee Wallet to wallet. Bolt never holds your tokens.

Send sBTC and USDCx on Stacks with zero STX in your wallet. Bolt pays the network fee. You pay a small fee in the token you're sending. No swap, no topping up gas first. Connect Leather or Xverse and send: boltproto.org/wallet

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.
