The Stack Network is a Bitcoin (BTC) layer-2 for smart contracts. The project aims to fully realize the programmability of the oldest blockchain in the world. Stack Network’s native token, STX, has surged 9.6% in the last 24 hours. Moreover, the token rallied by 135.7% in the monthly chart.

As a result of last week’s FTX crash, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investors are growing more suspicious of centralised exchanges. The actions are scarcely unexpected given that FTX, the second-largest exchange in the world, was thought to be almost indestructible. The exchange’s failure demonstrates that it was not too large to fail, particularly if it had sufficient reserves to support the bank run that ensued. In the last week or two, Bitcoin investors have shifted their holdings from exchanges to self-custody wallets. According to analytics firm Glassnode, the most significant increase in on-chain wallet activity has ever been seen. In direct response to the failure of FTX, #Bitcoin investors, of all wallet cohorts, have made a distinct behavioural shift towards self-custody.

According to IOG, the majority of blockchains claim to be decentralised, however these claims are subjective due to the absence of a consistent framework for measuring decentralisation. According to the technology company, the Edinburgh Decentralization Index (EDI) is designed to address this issue. “The EDI will create a unified framework capable of evaluating degrees of decentralisation, and is applicable to data extracted from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and other chains.” According to IOG, the index will evaluate the extent of decentralisation of a blockchain based on several layers, including API, consensus method, hardware, software, network, tokenomics, governance, and the geographic location of validators. Launching a research study that will define and quantify decen
