While updates are expected, the team has yet to provide a resolution timeline.<\/p>\n<p>They <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/stacksstatus\/status\/1876202005678674125\">stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Core devs are investigating a delay in block production related to a Signer. Standby for more updates.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This outage occurs less than three months after the Nakamoto upgrade, a significant update designed to improve transaction speeds and enhance security.<\/p>\n<p>The Nakamoto upgrade closely aligns Stacks blocks with Bitcoin's finality, leveraging the top crypto's robust <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/why-is-hash-rate-so-important-for-the-security-of-bitcoin\/\">hash power<\/a> to secure transactions. By tying Stacks to Bitcoin's blockchain, the network benefits from BTC's resistance to reorganization, which increases its overall reliability.<\/p>\n<p>The team <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Stacks\/status\/1851245371269251232\">stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Any transaction you make on Stacks is now secured by 100% of Bitcoin's hash power.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the outage, the network's Stacks (STX) token remains unaffected. Data from CryptoSlate shows STX has gained over 4% in the past 24 hours, reaching $1.71. This continues a week-long rally of 15%, although the token has seen broader declines of over 33% during the past month.<\/p>\n<h2>sBTC milestone<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, this outage coincides with Stacks' progress in its sBTC initiative, a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/restoring-trust-to-btc-in-2024-lets-start-with-wrapping\/\">Bitcoin-wrapper token<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 5, the project stated that the total supply of sBTC reached 1,000 tokens, equivalent to nearly $99 million. This achievement emphasizes the growing adoption of Stacks in DeFi.<\/p>\n<p>It <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Stacks\/status\/1876025898027335910\">added<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;After the first cap of 1,000 sBTC has been reached, the BTC is now slowly trickling down into the Decentralized Finance applications on Stacks.
