What is Rootstock?

Swap Rootstock

Rootstock (RSK) is a Bitcoin sidechain designed to leverage the security and stability of Bitcoin while introducing advanced smart contract functionality.

Launched in January 2018, Rootstock extends the capabilities of Bitcoin by enabling the execution of smart contracts, opening up a world of possibilities for developers and users alike.

Unlocking Revenue Potential:

The Two-Way Peg to Bitcoin:

One of the key features of Rootstock is the implementation of a two-way peg to Bitcoin. This mechanism allows for the seamless conversion of Smart Bitcoins (RBTC) to and from Bitcoin (BTC). This bridging of the two chains enables fluid movement of assets and value between the Rootstock network and the Bitcoin network without the need for additional issuance costs. By minting RBTC directly from Bitcoins, Rootctock ensures a direct linkage and value correlation between RBTC and BTC.

Enhanced Security and Performance:

Rootstock maintains the same proof-of-work consensus mechanism as Bitcoin, utilizing the same mining network for security. This provides an unparalleled level of security for the Rootstock network. Additionally, Rootstock addresses one of Bitcoin's limitations by offering near-instant confirmations, providing an improved payment experience for users.

Compatibility with Ethereum:

Rootstock inherits key elements from Ethereum, such as the account format, Virtual Machine, and web3 interface. This compatibility ensures seamless integration with Ethereum tools and decentralized applications (dApps). Developers can leverage their existing knowledge and experience with Ethereum to build and deploy applications on the Rootstock network, thus expanding their reach and user base.

Expanding Revenue Opportunities:

By engaging with the Rootstock network, users have the opportunity to explore new avenues for earning revenue. Individuals can become liquidity providers or optimize transaction fees, contributing to the growth and sustainability of the Rootstock ecosystem. This opens up opportunities for users to not only participate in the network but also add value and earn rewards in the process.
