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.

BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is a blockchain platform developed by Binance, designed to enable decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. It operates as a parallel chain to Binance Chain, combining high-speed transactions with the programmability of Ethereum-compatible smart contracts. BSC uses a Proof-of-Staked-Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism, which enhances scalability and efficiency while reducing transaction costs. It is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to easily port dApps and projects from Ethereum. BSC has become a popular choice for decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and NFT ecosystems, offering users a fast, low-cost, and secure platform for blockchain-based innovations.

Evmos
Meet the inter-blockchain communication protocol, a.k.a. IBC; the IP layer for blockchains. IBC is currently the safest and most secure and decentralized way to move assets across different blockchains, unlocking interoperability across multiple chains. Evmos leverages the Cosmos SDK and serves as the first IBC-compatible EVM-based chain, bringing composability, interoperability, and fast finality to Ethereum. Evmos is a scalable and interoperable Ethereum, built on proof-of-stake with fast finality. Evmos allows for running vanilla Ethereum as a Cosmos application-specific blockchain. This allows developers to have all the desired features of Ethereum, while at the same time, benefiting from Tendermint’s PoS implementation. Also, because it is built on top of the Cosmos SDK, it will be able to exchange value with the rest of the Cosmos Ecosystem through the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).
