The STX20 protocol introduces a novel approach to creating and sharing digital artifacts on the Stacks blockchain. It leverages the transaction field to offer a more efficient, gas-saving alternative to conventional smart contracts for specific use cases. This method not only requires less computational effort but also pays homage to Bitcoin culture. The anticipated Nakamoto upgrade is set to enhance Stacks' decentralization and integration with the Bitcoin network, highlighting the importance of an inscription standard like STX20 on Stacks.
