Some news: I’m coming in as the new CEO of Stacks Labs. - I co-founded Stacks in 2017; we’ve been live for 5+ years and have gone through various chapters of decentralization. - I’m more bullish on $STX than ever before. After the successful launch of Bitcoin staking, it’s time to double down on the growth of Bitcoin capital markets. - After ecosystem restructuring last year, Stacks Labs has emerged as the operational hub. Taking on a day-to-day operational role there lets me put rocket fuel on the institutional BD work I was already doing. - Stacks is pushing the frontier of Bitcoin. The tech is stellar. More BTC capital flows and widespread marketing of Stacks are what’s needed now. That’ll be my focus. - @alexlmiller has done a tremendous job over the last year as interim CEO, put us on solid operational foundations, and pushed the core staking product live. Huge kudos to Alex for all his contributions! - Satoshi upgrades 1 delivered self-custodial staking. We’re working on other frontier Bitcoin challenges like 100x capacity, institutional-grade privacy, and post-quantum. I look forward to working with our fearless CTO, @AdrianoDiLuzio, and the rockstar team on this exciting roadmap. Start of a new chapter for Stacks and me. It’s time to light up some fires and push the frontier of Bitcoin. Forward!

Welcome all. If you've been here or you if you haven't. We aren't going anywhere. ROCK is Stacks' pet rock. We've got a huge announcement today! The LP for ROCK is more secure than it ever was. We've been busy with our daily lives, but we've finally gotten to this crucial step

Multisig (Stacksrock.btc): SM37BZ7SKRTBAM95J54F4QDY83YX63DDFP4M6DTAP Here's a cleaned up writeup about $ROCK, also viewable on Stacksrock.com/about: About $ROCK If you’ve made it to Stacks, Bitcoin and $ROCK, you are incredibly early. Adoption is everything, so we encourage our community to engage with other communities and share ROCK. The @RockCoinSTX account and socials are currently run by a group of owners who saw there was no online presence. The contract owner/creator has Satoshi’d his way out and left us with Stacks’ pet rock. *Update: The creator has decided to help the community to take this project further. Disclosure: They’ve confirmed currently holding ~1% of the supply. Any deep divers who can go through the contract history and point out any sus stuff from the OG, please do. ROCK is a memecoin. This has financial risk and we don’t advise anybody to buy or invest in anything. Nothing on this site is financial advise. Do your own research before investing in any tokens. ROCK was launched with liquidity on Stackswap by the Creator (anonymous). They bought a bag and dipped, with the intention of it never going anywhere. @RockCoinSTX on X(Twitter), referred to here as ROCK team, represents an anonymous group of holders who saw the need for ROCK. They contacted Highroller.btc (@Cryptofronts on X(Twitter)) about making ROCK hard. The day a discord/website was created, the creator found the discord and began conversing about the future of ROCK and security. He also disclosed he held about 1% of the supply at the time. With some @Stacks magic and @asignaio, the decision was made that the smartest course of action was to create a multisig between ROCK team and Highroller.btc. This came after the debacles of other memecoins who were rugged earlier in the cycle. ROCK immediately went hard first principles. The underlying principle was that the Creator, or just the ROCK team being honest, wasn’t enough. With a known and active community member, anything in the multisig would remain honest. So the creator officially handed the Stackswap LP over to the secured multisig, which allows the project to officially be unruggable. They wanted to distance themselves from the project more as well, and routes are open for the creator to come back in future discussions for the benefit of the project! The creator has mentioned donating to the multisig, like the ROCK team and Highroller.btc. These funds provided the initial 2.5% of supply secured for the community to the multisig. Since then, the project is focused on being unruggable and getting ROCK hard. Roadmap & Objectives Completed: Genesis of ROCK Stackswap – Pre-takeover Community Twitter – Post-takeover Community Telegram Community Discord Community Website Multisig – SM37BZ7SKRTBAM95J54F4QDY83YX63DDFP4M6DTAP Stacksrock.btc – Multisig Harder Roadmap – Addendum #1 To Do Partnerships – Once we’re ready with the contracts, methods of engaging the community and reasonably sure we can do it the best way, we’ll notify the community well before we run any polls/acquire any feedback for this. Airdrops – This is looking more and more likely with our discussions, we’re just working on some more pressing things for $ROCK, and we thing this will likely be along the same timeline, maybe slightly earlier, than partnerships. Exchange listings – We know exchange listings are half the driving force of adoption. You best bet we know that, and know it very well. ROCK Community + Roadmap Addendum #1 Introduction In this Roadmap + latest addendum, we outline our recent acquisition of Stacksrock.btc and our strategies to enhance the ROCK community through distribution, partnerships, and engagement. Each addendum will be incredibly thought out to make sure it’s following the smartest, fastest and most correct path. Addendum #1 – Acquisition + distribution = base growth. Stacksrock.btc Acquisition We’re excited to announce the acquisition of Stacksrock.btc, which now operates as the multisig wallet with the following address: SM37BZ7SKRTBAM95J54F4QDY83YX63DDFP4M6DTAP. Objectives The primary objective of the ROCK Roadmap and Treasury is to facilitate distribution of ROCK to Bitcoin and Stacks members, fostering adoption and decentralization. Distribution Strategy We aim to acquire ROCK from the spot market and distribute it to new holders, thus organically increasing the number of holders while ensuring safety and integrity. Treasury Building Our efforts have already secured 2.5% of the entire ROCK supply, which has been donated to the multisig address. Community donations are encouraged to further support the initiative. Distribution Breakdown Our focus with this roadmap is as follows: Partnerships: 50% Airdrops: 10% Competitions/Giveaways: 40% Funding Strategy Funding for our treasury comes from spot market purchases and stx donations, with a strict policy against using original liquidity for anything other than exchange listing and liquidity maintenance. The treasury is secured in a multisig Stacks wallet, requiring the signature of anon @RockCoinSTX and highroller.btc. Ensuring Legitimacy Everything about ROCK has been and will be unruggable and self funded. We can’t stop whales but we can make sure the core team, socials and growth stays legit. Engagement and Partnerships Partnerships, competitions, and giveaways are carefully considered to align with community interests and foster growth. Partnership Strategy Partnering with projects for strategic giveaways and collaborations to increase holder adoption and awareness. Exploring collaborations with ordinal communities through smart contracts integration. More tentative discussion on an NFT collection, but for now EXPECT NOTHING (we're moving hard). Competition and Giveaway Criteria Decision-making for competitions and giveaways prioritizes social engagement, organic attention, and fairness. Measures are being explored to ensure transparent and unbiased winner selection. Airdrop Policy We follow community precedents for airdrops, prioritizing actions that enhance adoption and trust. Our goal is to go above and beyond here. Continuous Improvement This roadmap is subject to updates and additions as the community evolves, with a commitment to ongoing development and support. Conclusion Our goal is to make ROCK the hardest meme, and simulataneously get everyone to have a #petrock. We want to better, and make use of, the talent propelling ROCK, make it harder and more valuable, and recognized for its worth/ethos. This roadmap is a testament to that goal.
