Join Muneeb Ali, the visionary founder of Stacks, as he delves into the transformative potential of Bitcoin with his talk, "Building Bitcoin's Future: The Role of Stacks L2," presented at TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025. In this compelling conference session, Ali explores the resurgence of Bitcoin in developer circles and the concept of Bitcoin dominance, which has climbed to an all-time high of 65%. Despite the proliferation of new protocols, Bitcoin continues to establish itself as a unique and enduring asset class akin to digital gold.
The presentation highlights the long-standing challenge of making Bitcoin programmable without compromising its inherent strengths—the very simplicity and security that make it so durable. Ali introduces the innovative solution of Layer 2 technologies on Bitcoin, much like those of Ethereum, to unlock new possibilities in decentralized finance (DeFi) and payment systems. Stacks is leading the charge with the Nakamoto release, ensuring fast transactions while leveraging Bitcoin's security.
Ali also introduces SBDC, a breakthrough Layer 2 asset, designed to be fast, cheap, and fully programmable, backed 1:1 by BTC. This advancement aims to transform Bitcoin from a passive to a productive asset, enabling Bitcoin holders to participate in DeFi for potential yields and liquidity provisioning. The compelling vision of a Bitcoin-focused DeFi ecosystem is brought to life as Ali shares exciting R&D developments that promise even greater levels of trust and security on the Stacks platform.
