Rootstock

About

Rootstock is a Bitcoin sidechain and smart contract platform that brings EVM-compatible DeFi, dApps, and faster transactions to the Bitcoin network. By combining Bitcoin's strong Proof-of-Work (PoW) security with Ethereum-style smart contracts, Rootstock allows developers to build secure and scalable blockchain applications while keeping BTC at the core. Key Features: • Supports standard Ethereum tools such as Solidity, Truffle, Web3.js, and Hardhat. • Transactions on Roostock are faster and cheaper than on Bitcoin. • The native rBTC token is equal in value to Bitcoin and is used for fees and network actions. • Secure bridges like PowPeg let users deposit and withdraw BTC and connect Rootstock with other blockchains.
