Rootstock
Rootstock is a pioneering Bitcoin sidechain that integrates Ethereum-compatible smart contract capabilities with Bitcoin's robust security. As an open source platform, it leverages Bitcoin's proof-of-work consensus mechanism, achieving over 60% of Bitcoin's hashing power through merged mining. This integration allows developers to deploy EVM-compatible smart contracts, enabling the creation of decentralized applications secured by Bitcoin's network. Rootstock's native currency, RBTC, is pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin, facilitating seamless interaction with DeFi protocols and dApps on the Rootstock network for activities such as minting, swaps, and gas fees. The PowPeg protocol ensures secure and efficient two-way transfers between Bitcoin and Rootstock, enhancing interoperability. Rootstock's ecosystem encompasses a diverse range of applications, from swapping and staking with platforms like Sushi to yield optimization with Beefy and trading on Oku.
