Bitcoin can have privacy features without changing the base layer: stack founder.
Stack co-founder Munib Ali suggests that Bitcoin could implement secret transactions in an execution layer above the base layer, while maintaining public auditability of its overall supply.
The Stacks network aims to improve the functionality of Bitcoin, focusing on privacy, yield-generating applications, and preparedness for quantum computing threats.
Ali stresses the need for stronger defenses against AI-assisted attacks, highlighting the importance of open source security and the recent Binance hack as a case for improving software resilience.
