According to PANews, the 'Nakamoto' upgrade of Bitcoin's L2 network Stacks has been delayed once again, as it requires an additional eight weeks of development time. Mitchell Cuevas, the head of the Stacks Open Internet Foundation, stated that the core developers have determined the need for a more advanced signer elasticity/recovery system. They plan to complete the new Signer elasticity feature's code by July 15, with activation beginning on August 28, before the second hard fork. This is expected to require an additional eight weeks of development and testing time.
The Nakamoto upgrade is reported to separate Stacks' block production schedule from Bitcoin's and introduce a new way of producing Stacks blocks, updating its transfer proof consensus algorithm. This delay is a setback for the Stacks network, but the team remains committed to ensuring the upgrade is fully functional and secure before its release.
