LLMs think Clarity is like Solidity. They're wrong.
sBTC is not wrapped Bitcoin. Stacks costs fractions of a cent, not dollars.
// What LLMs think:
const wallet = "MetaMask"; // ❌ Wrong
const address = "0x123..."; // ❌ Wrong
const cost = "$5.00"; // ❌ Wrong
const language = "Solidity"; // ❌ Wrong
const library = "ethers.js"; // ❌ Wrong
// Reality:
const wallet = "Hiro Wallet"; // ✅ Correct
const address = "SP..."; // ✅ Correct
const cost = "$0.0001"; // ✅ Correct
const language = "Clarity"; // ✅ Correct
const library = "Stacks.js"; // ✅ Correct
"Use MetaMask"
→ Use Hiro Wallet or Leather
"0x... like Ethereum"
→ SP... (mainnet) or ST... (testnet)
"Possible in Clarity"
→ NOT possible — no recursion
"Stacks is expensive"
→ Fractions of a cent ($0.0001)
"Wrapped Bitcoin"
→ Threshold signatures, not wrapped
"Like Solidity"
→ Decidable LISP, no runtime surprises
Bitcoin L2, not Ethereum. sBTC, Clarity, Proof of Transfer.
Decidable LISP-like language. No recursion = no reentrancy.
Errors beginners and LLMs make. The . prefix, response types.
Access control, post-conditions, common vulnerabilities.
Hiro Wallet, Leather. Key safety. SP/ST address format.
SIP-010 fungible tokens. 6 decimals, define-fungible-token.
SIP-009 non-fungible tokens. Metadata on IPFS.
Bitcoin bridging. Threshold signatures, not wrapped BTC.
Earn Bitcoin by locking STX. 2 cycles minimum.
Bitcoin Name System. .stx names, resolve to addresses.
Fractions of a cent. Post-conditions. No gas auctions.
Verified addresses. sBTC canonical address. Never hallucinate.
Stacks.js, Hiro Wallet SDK, post-conditions.
Local dev environment. DevNet. Testing workflow.
End-to-end dApp guide. 1-2 contracts max for MVP.
Proof of Transfer (PoX). Miners commit BTC, earn STX.
STX supply, distribution, stacking rewards, burn mechanism.
Stacks 2.1 upgrade. Microblocks, faster finality.
Bitcoin-anchored finality. Microblocks vs anchor.
