📜 Fresh From the Docs

  • The Cookbook is a collection of focused, reusable coding recipes meant to be referenced, copied, and adapted. Not to be read cover to cover.

  • Stacks Core 3.3.0.0.4 adds dimension-specific tenure extensions so DeFi keeps processing critical flows instead of halting during volatility.
