Stacks will launch the Nakamoto activation process on August 28th.

An organization backing the advancement of Bitcoin's Layer 2 blockchain. Stacks The Stacks Foundation confirmed that the complete code necessary for the Nakamoto upgrade will be given to network operators, with the activation window scheduled to open on August 28th, unveiling the much-anticipated Nakamoto features.

Network operators will have until Cycle 92 to carry out the upgrade, assuming a successful transition of the Signer from Cycle 92 to Cycle 93. Additionally, the core development team will identify the final hard fork block.

In summary, the activation process labeled with letters ABCDE will consist of several stages, including the opening of the activation window and the distribution of the required binaries. If no new bugs are found, the last binaries will be delivered, which will be essential for Signers, Miners, and Node Operators to maintain network operations. Following this, the Cycle Handoff process will take place. After deploying the final code to the mainnet, Signers will be granted an entire Stacking cycle to finalize their setups as needed. At the end of Cycle 92, core developers will closely observe the successful 'handoff,' signaling a transition of the Signers between Stacking cycles.

The next step will be to identify the hard fork block. Once the handoff from Cycle 92 to Cycle 93 is confirmed at Block 861,500, the core developers will determine the final hard fork block, which will activate all Nakamoto protocol rules. Consequently, the Epoch 3.0 Nakamoto protocols will be initiated at this hard fork block.

Stacks has also warned that to secure a safe and reliable launch, the Nakamoto activation sequence might face extensions. Such delays could stem from various factors, including the results of ongoing testing, recent audit findings, miner adoption levels, and the outcomes of the SIP-025 vote. Signers In addition, it's anticipated that the sBTC will be ready for mainnet deployment roughly one month following the Nakamoto hard fork. Since it is based on the Nakamoto consensus, Stacks plans to monitor at least two stable Stacking cycles under the Nakamoto protocols before rolling out the sBTC.

Come August 28, network operators will receive the final Nakamoto code, and the Activation window will officially commence!

Stacks serves as a Layer 2 Bitcoin solution that facilitates the operation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), using Bitcoin as its foundational backbone. Earlier this year, the Nakamoto release was rolled out to boost transaction speeds, ensuring that transactions on the Stacks Layer enjoy the full security provided by Bitcoin's definitive finality.

The project operates on a non-custodial, programmable asset basis, directly backed by Bitcoin one-to-one, allowing Bitcoin to move in a decentralized manner across different Bitcoin layers. sBTC This hard fork on the Stacks network is designed not only to elevate transaction speeds but also to fortify finality assurances for transactions, diminish Bitcoin miner MEV opportunities affecting PoX, and bolster the network's durability against blockchain reorganizations.
