A Look Back

Well, it's been a wild ride this year. Since the Stacks 2.0 mainnet launch in January of this year, the ecosystem has flourished with talented developers, passionate artists, and ambitious founders all building out incredible projects.

In October, our founder Jamil set out to build the first open NFT marketplace on Stacks. It's only been two months since the launch of stxnft.com, but we've accomplished a whole lot. Let's take a look back at our 2021 milestones...
