RSK
RSK the safest smart contract blockchain platform secured by the Bitcoin Network. Bitcoin is the greatest DeFi opportunity and fully enabled on RSK, the most secure smart contract platform in the world. Bitcoin users now can lend, borrow, trade and earn interest on their Bitcoin. The future of finance is decentralized. RSK is the most secure contract platform in the world. RSK’s Contracts goal is to add value and functionality to the bitcoin Contracts ecosystem by enabling smart contracts, near instant Contracts payments, and higher scalability. RSK Blockchain is connected to Bitcoin through Merged Contracts Mining and the two-way peg also known as the bridge. Built on top of RSK, RIF aims to create the building blocks to construct a fully decentralized internet to enable Decentralized Sharing Economies in order to empower and protect the value of individuals through identity, payments, storage, communications, gateways services and the marketplace.

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.

smartBCH
Smart Bitcoin Cash (smartBCH for short) is a sidechain for Bitcoin Cash and has an aim to explore new ideas and unlock possibilities. It is compatible with Ethereum's EVM and Web3 API and provides high throughput for DApps in a fast, secure, and decentralized manner. EVM&Web3 compatible and has short block interval to support DeFi applications. The throughput will be as large as one billion gas every 15 seconds to allow more users to practice DeFi at a very low cost. Has been developed from scratch and is made of several low-level libraries which fully leverage the potential of hardware, especially its inherent parallelism. Earn extra reward for Bitcoin Cash's miners and holders, who can elect Smart Bitcoin Cash's validators with hash power and locked coins, respectively. Develop trustless non-custodian two-way pegged gateways, which can support any kinds of side chains of Bitcoin Cash for securely transferring BCH bidirectionally.
