Rootstock
Rootstock is a powerful Bitcoin-based smart contract platform that bridges the robust security of Bitcoin's proof-of-work with the flexibility of Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities.
Rootstock operates as a Bitcoin sidechain, the first of its kind, effectively bringing Ethereum's smart contracts to the Bitcoin network. It maintains EVM compatibility, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum dApps within a security paradigm powered by Bitcoin's hashing power. This integration facilitates a significant reduction in transaction costs while bolstering throughput compared to operating directly on the Ethereum mainnet.
Rootstock’s infrastructure is open-source and benefits from the innovation and security provided by over 60% of Bitcoin’s hashing power, underscoring its position as a leader in the development of a decentralized, trust-minimized ecosystem of applications.
