For stackers and stacking

A stacker is someone involved in the Stacks community, but also someone who is locking their STX to participate in consensus and earn Bitcoin.

SEC Approved

Stacks token offerings from the past were all SEC approved. And soon the exit report will be filled because Stacks is a decentralized network and not a security.

A user owned internet

A user owned internet, where actors Can't Be Evil, is the general idea of the Stacks network. By enabling inherent privacy and security, users are in control. The (Ryder) project on Stacks makes it easy to securely use your private keys and social identity with a hardware device: the first social wallet was launched through an NFT sale and web2 crowd funding campaign. The Blockchain Naming System (BNS), a system for a self-sovereign identity (SSI) and decentralized identity (DID), gives public keys a human readable equivalent and other important advantages to help achieve the general goal. The Stacks network uses a unique consensus algorithm called Proof of Transfer (PoX). Miners have to send Bitcoin to those stacking the native Stacks token which is in effect securing the network with Proof of Work (PoW) by proxy. In practice this means that if you stake (=Stack) the native token (STX) you get a yield in Bitcoin... and that Bitcoin can then pay for our user owned internet, right?
