BitGo Integrates Stacks L2

by

As a seasoned crypto investor with years of experience under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for new and innovative ways to enhance my Bitcoin investments. So when I heard about BitGo’s latest move to support the Stacks layer and offer integrated delegate and solo stacking capabilities, I was intrigued.

BitGo, a company that specializes in digital asset financial services, has introduced the capability to work with the Stacks layer. This enhancement enables users to take advantage of additional Bitcoin features through delegate and solo stacking functionalities that are now integrated into the service.

BitGo provides an alternative way for users to earn Bitcoin through its Stacking feature. This function enables users to generate Bitcoin straight from their wallets. Additionally, BitGo serves as a ‘validator’ or ‘signer’ on the network, contributing to block creation and maintaining consensus.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the introduction of sBTC, a new 1:1 Bitcoin-backed asset. With this development, I can now trust BitGo to handle all my deposit and withdrawal transactions related to sBTC, giving me peace of mind knowing that a reputable institution is managing these transactions for me.

“BitGo is thrilled to help Stacks expand their smart contract functionalities and create decentralized apps for both builders and institutions. We’re proud to offer regulated qualified custody and staking services for STX, and we’re excited about collaborating with them on future developments,” states Daniel Du, BitGo’s Senior Product Manager.

Users can transfer Bitcoins (BTC) into a script controlled by the Signer network to generate stablecoin equivalents called sBTC. The Signers then manufacture sBTC and forward it to the user’s Stacks wallet. To exchange sBTC for BTC again, users start a redemption transaction, and the Signers transfer the original Bitcoins to the user’s Bitcoin address.
