Stacks:
The SEC-qualified token behind the next era of computing
The Stacks Token offering subscription window has closed. Read full announcement here.
We believe in a future where the rights you enjoy in the physical world extend to the digital world.
However, the rules of today’s web browsers and apps were written by the large internet companies responsible for violating our rights.
We’re building an app ecosystem that works for users, not against them, so that apps can’t be evil and your digital rights are protected.
Welcome to Blockstack.
Let’s build something better together.
About Stacks
Stacks (STX) token is the native utility token of the Blockstack network and the only token currently available as part of an SEC-qualified sale. Stacks tokens are consumed as "fuel" when users register digital assets, like usernames, or when they register/execute smart contracts. Using Stacks, developers can build and distribute apps that let users maintain ownership of their data and protect their digital rights.

Code and compliance as competitive advantage
SEC-qualified
This is the only token you can purchase in the US that has been qualified by the SEC. We believe compliance is a competitive advantage.
Proof in the code
Blockstack has already delivered tools to developers. This isn’t a plan or a hypothetical project, we’ve long been in production and apps are thriving.
170+ apps with real utility
Blockstack apps go beyond gaming and gambling. Complex business and social applications are live in production and gaining traction. In fact, there are over 170 already.
Leading experts in computing
All the way back to the beginnings at Princeton, Blockstack has been researched, built, and tested by leaders in the field including PhD’s from NYU, MIT, and Princeton.
Open-source, B-corp status
Blockstack developer tools are open-source, while Blockstack PBC is set up so we can fight for fundamental digital rights long-term while becoming further and further decentralized.
Methodical and transparent
From self-imposed delivery milestones, to audits, advisors, token lockups and more, we're committed to protecting investors and making decisions that are in the long-term best interest of the network.
Case studies
Stacks tokens are driving real utility
"I had discovered Blockstack's protocol shortly before starting to work on Graphite, and I knew that it would be the perfect solution."
