Stacks Foundation: Nakamoto Activation Expected to Take Place on October 9

The Stacks Foundation said in a post on X that Nakamoto activation is expected to take place on October 9. To this end, the Stacks community will hold more than 20 developer workshops around the world, including lectures, live demonstrations, and technical challenges, where participants can win STX. It recently announced that the core developers have selected the Nakamoto hard fork block, Bitcoin block #864864, when Nakamoto's key improvements will be deployed, including fast blocks, Bitcoin finality, etc. As part of the hard fork, all node operators should upgrade their nodes, and Binaries will be available about a week before the hard fork. It added that the core developers remain committed to safe and reliable releases. If necessary, they will reserve the right to select a new hard fork block to solve problems or investigate network activities. Any updates to the block will be updated immediately.
