This token sale became part of a wider investment round, in which Blockstack raised $ 23 million .

The project, which is also known for its work on decentralized Internet , previously managed to attract $ 50 million investment from well-known representatives of the blockchain industry and venture companies, including the Winklevoss brothers, Union Square Ventures, Digital Currency Group and Version One.

In February 2019, the company announced ongoing work on a new distributed protocol called Stacks, which uses the hash power of the Bitcoin network in combination with the Proof-of-Burn mechanism.

In September, Blockch cryptocurrency wallet provider announced the start of support for Stacks tokens in the product line for retail and institutional investors.
