As the premier provider of Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure, Ankr has joined the Stacks ecosystem as a Signer, boosting their security and decentralization just as their sBTC token goes live. Our addition as a Signer highlights our commitment to advancing Bitcoin technology and returning developers to building on the Bitcoin network.

Ankr’s support strengthens Stacks’ decentralization and reinforces Stacks as a leading Bitcoin Layer 2. This backing comes during a key time, as sBTC’s ongoing rollout will make Bitcoin more programmable and accessible within the DeFi ecosystem. It also underscores the credibility and trust of the decentralized multi-signer model that underpins sBTC, ensuring secure and trust-minimized interactions between Bitcoin and Stacks.

“We’re thrilled to support Stacks and sBTC to build Bitcoin's future. Our Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure platform provides the tools and infrastructure developers need to create innovative Bitcoin-related protocols. By joining the Stacks ecosystem as a Signer, we’re empowering developers to leverage Bitcoin’s security and tap into its massive potential.”
