What is Stacks?
Stacks is a blockchain platform that brings smart contracts and decentralised applications to Bitcoin. It launched in 2021 after years of development by Blockstack PBC, and it runs as a layer-1 chain that settles transactions on Bitcoin, so developers can build apps that draw on Bitcoin's security while adding programmability.
The network uses a Proof of Transfer consensus mechanism that anchors to Bitcoin's blockchain, letting Stacks inherit Bitcoin's security properties. Its smart contracts are written in Clarity, a language designed to be predictable and secure, and apps built on Stacks give people direct ownership of their data, which stays private unless they grant access.
STX is the native token. Holders can take part in network consensus through a process called stacking, locking STX to help secure the network and receive Bitcoin rewards. As decentralised finance on Bitcoin grows, Stacks supplies the groundwork for exchanges, lending apps, and NFT marketplaces built on that foundation.

FAQ
Buying Stacks: FAQs
What is the smallest amount of Stacks I can buy?
You do not need to buy a whole coin. On Digital Surge the minimum STX order is $1 AUD, so you can start with only a few AUD and add more later once you are comfortable with how the platform works.
How quickly can I buy STX after joining?
Usually within a few minutes. Once your account is verified, a PayID deposit of AUD tends to arrive in under a minute, so you can move from signing up to buying STX in a single short sitting.
Can I sell my Stacks back to AUD later?
Yes. You can sell your STX for AUD on Digital Surge at any time and withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank account. Nothing is locked up, so you decide how long to hold before selling.
Can I earn Bitcoin rewards by holding Stacks?
Yes, through a process known as stacking. STX holders can lock their tokens in stacking cycles to help secure the network, and miners pay out rewards in Bitcoin. It is one of the features that sets Stacks apart from other smart contract chains.
What makes Stacks different from other smart contract platforms?
Stacks brings smart contracts to Bitcoin through its Proof of Transfer consensus mechanism. That lets apps built on Stacks inherit Bitcoin's security while adding the programmability that Bitcoin on its own does not offer, which is what makes it stand out.
How do I check the live Stacks price in AUD?
The live Stacks price in AUD sits at the top of this page and refreshes through the day. You can open the chart to see how STX has tracked against the Australian dollar, or use the converter to price a specific order in AUD.
