The launch of Bitcoin L2 Labs is expected to catalyze growth in decentralized applications, making Stacks an even stronger player in Bitcoin-based technology.
On Thursday, November 7, Bitcoin L2 Labs, a new entrant to the crypto economy, officially launched to propel Stacks core development and bolster the growth of Bitcoin’s Layer 2 solutions.
In a shared press release, the company aims to build on the momentum generated by the recent Nakamoto upgrade, which introduced several benefits to the Bitcoin ecosystem including the opportunity for miners to create multiple Stacks blocks per Bitcoin block instead of one.
Bitcoin L2 Labs Launches to Accelerate L2 Adoption
The newly launched blockchain project said it will take a leading role in Stacks Core Development. It has already assembled a specialized team of developers focused on enhancing the protocol and expanding Bitcoin Layer 2’s adoption.
According to the announcement, Bitcoin L2 Labs has already welcomed five full-time Rust developers who will work on flagship initiatives like sBTC and Clarity WASM, both vital for broadening Stacks’ capabilities and tightening its synergy with Bitcoin.
The team is led by Adriano Di Luzio, the company’s chief technology officer. Di Luzio previously worked at Algorand Labs, the brains behind the development of the Algorand blockchain, before joining Bitcoin L2 Labs.
Bitcoin L2 Labs plans to streamline the development experience of Stacks with the team onboard. The company’s strategy involves expediting software upgrades, simplifying development pathways, and fostering ecosystem-wide coordination. Additionally, it will facilitate ecosystem-wide roadmapping to ensure cohesive development across the Stacks ecosystem.
According to the company, this approach will ensure cohesive progress throughout the Stacks ecosystem, which has already seen robust growth following the Nakamoto upgrade.
Bitcoin L2 Labs to Work on ‘Orange Hats’ Security Program
Commenting on the launch, the project’s head of products, Andre Serrano, said the goal is to make Stacks the go-to platform for everything Bitcoin.
“With the Nakamoto upgrade live, we’re now focused on building the next generation of tools and infrastructure to support developers and users in the Stacks ecosystem, starting with the upcoming rollout of sBTC. Our goal is to make Stacks the go-to platform for Bitcoin-based applications and services,” said Serrano.
Apart from sBTC and Clarity WASM, the company’s future roadmap includes the ‘Orange Hats’ security program, an initiative designed to enhance ecosystem security. In addition, Bitcoin L2 Labs plans to champion community-driven projects and propose reforms to make development processes more transparent and effective.
The launch of the new blockchain project is expected to open new avenues for Bitcoin application development and promote the adoption of decentralized services and tools. With its initiatives, Bitcoin L2 Labs showcases a proactive strategy to enhance Bitcoin’s ecosystem through targeted upgrades and collaborative, community-driven efforts.
