ALEX, the premier decentralized financial infrastructure protocol for the Bitcoin ecosystem, has officially rolled out major protocol upgrades taking full advantage of the Stacks Nakamoto hard fork. The upgrade permanently resolves Bitcoin's historical transaction latency, reducing block settlement times from 10 minutes to under 5 seconds while inheriting 100% of Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work finality.
The deployment introduces high-frequency orderbook swaps for Runes, BRC-20 assets, and Stacks native tokens with zero custodial risk. Furthermore, ALEX has integrated the decentralized sBTC gateway, allowing users to move native Bitcoin seamlessly into high-yield decentralized lending and liquidity pools.
Traders and liquidity providers actively testing the upgraded AMM pools and staking $ALEX tokens are positioned for increased fee share distributions and launchpad allocations as the Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem accelerates.
