Welcoming 300,000 New STX Holders Through the Blockchain.com Distribution

in Dapps, Partners, Stacks token

In October 2019, we announced that Blockstack PBC partnered with Blockchain.com, a leading provider of cryptocurrency products and creator of one of the most popular crypto wallets, to bring Stacks tokens (STX) and Blockstack apps to their users.

We’ve successfully completed the first phase of this partnership. In the most recent hardfork, Stacks tokens have been successfully materialized for Blockchain.com users who participated in the campaign. Over 300,000 unique, verified Blockchain.com users participated in this distribution and we’re excited to welcome them to the Blockstack ecosystem.

All Stacks distributed to these new owners (who passed a comprehensive KYC process) are locked for a year and were restricted to specific geographies as we seek to comply with securities laws and protect the Blockstack ecosystem for the long-term.

“Blockchain.com plays a critical role in global crypto infrastructure. This STX distribution is just the first step towards a deeper integration with Blockchain.com services”, said Muneeb Ali, Co-founder and CEO of Blockstack. “I’m looking forward to our continued work with their team as Blockstack is integrated into other products like Blockchain Explorer and Blockchain Wallet in the future.” Blockchain.com wallet and their Blockchain Explorer are some of the most relied upon in the industry to date.

It’s exciting to see the ecosystem mature and entities like Blockchain.com working to provide quality tools and services to Stackers. Throughout 2020, we expect the community and other entities in the Blockstack ecosystem to meet more needs of a maturing Blockstack ecosystem while Blockstack PBC focuses on developer tools. In fact, as we move toward further decentralization, we anticipate the hardfork that materialized the STX for this Blockchain.com distribution will be the last one Blockstack PBC itself will initiate and actively execute.

Furthermore, we expect the Stacks 2.0 launch to be led by the network, independently of Blockstack PBC. Stacks 2.0 is Blockstack’s master blockchain design and represents a number of critical innovations that we believe will move Web 3.0 forward. These include proposals for a new consensus algorithm called Stacking that allows Stacks holders to earn Bitcoin for actively participating in the consensus algorithm, Clarity, a smart contract language that optimizes for predictability and security, and more. Learn more about Stacks 2.0.

Thank you to those that participated in the Blockchain.com campaign and welcome to the community. We look forward to seeing you at an event soon or on the Blockstack Discord server.
