ICYMI, there's some IMPORTANT @hirosystems updates (1) Chainhook V2 is now GA (2) Our BTC L1 APIs Chainhook V1 will be shut down on March 1st This is part of our streamlined focus on Stacks, and we've partnered with @xverse for an easy transition Full details & guide ↓

Hey Stackers, as we enter another exciting year for the Stacks ecosystem, I have some updates about Stacks Labs, Hiro, and developer tooling: ➡️ We’re doubling down on the increased efficiency we’re seeing from running core development out of Labs by moving the Stacks API and Chainhook from Hiro to Stacks Labs over the next few weeks, along with some of the team. The API is heavily dependent on the node, by bringing these teams together, we can solve problems holistically, make changes at whatever layer makes sense, and ship faster. For instance, by reworking what the node outputs directly, we can dramatically simplify the API and infrastructure layers, which means better performance, lower costs, and greater reliability for builders. ➡️ For those of you with paid API plans: nothing changes, you keep your same access. And product development continues with API v9 and Chainhook v2 rollouts. ➡️ As part of this transition and the SIP-31 commitment, Hiro is contributing several million dollars of BTC to the Endowment. We'll publish the on-chain transaction once completed. ➡️ Thanks to SIP-31 and recent Treasury Committee approvals, Labs is well capitalized and ready to drive huge growth in 2026!
