Stacks DeFi TVL: The Gateway Leading Bitcoin L2 Adoption

Stacks is the leading Bitcoin L2 and is poised to activate the Bitcoin economy once the Nakamoto upgrade and sBTC go live.

For the network to achieve significant adoption throughout Web3, a robust DeFi ecosystem is essential.

New DeFi primitives and use cases on the Stacks blockchain are emerging, but the ecosystem needs more liquidity and a stronger user base.

Since Stacking DAO launched, 55M+ STX of liquidity has been unlocked via stSTX that can be deployed in DeFi. Around 40% of this liquidity flowed into Zest, Bitflow, Hermetica, Velar and Arkadiko.

Stacking DAO sparked rapid TVL growth for Stacks DeFi, but the recent market downtown and ALEX hack caused TVL to plummet.

Stacks TVL since 2022

There are still 30M+ stSTX left idle that can be deployed in existing DeFi apps to help boost Stacks TVL and foster protocols growth, and here is how you can do it.
