Bitcoin on Rootstock
About
Bitcoin on Rootstock is a smart contract platform execution layer operating as a Bitcoin sidechain with EVM compatibility. Secured through merged mining with the underlying proof-of-work network, it enables smart contract execution, decentralized lending, borrowing, and asset transfers while maintaining a one-to-one pegged representation of the underlying asset. The network uses a native two-way bridge mechanism to convert assets between the base layer and its execution environment, where transaction fees and operations are settled in the pegged native asset. The architecture allows decentralized applications, wallets, and financial protocols to access Bitcoin-backed liquidity.
Snapshot
Operations
Products and/or services of Bitcoin on Rootstock
- Native Peg Asset: The native network unit representing base layer assets on a 1:1 ratio, used to settle execution gas fees, execute smart contracts, and collateralize decentralized lending, borrowing, and liquidity protocols across the execution layer.
- PowPeg Bridge: A native two-way bridging protocol secured by dedicated hardware security modules and proof-of-work consensus that enables automated, 1:1 asset transfers between the primary blockchain base layer and the smart contract sidechain network.
- Merged Mining Infrastructure: A consensus integration mechanism allowing miners on the primary proof-of-work network to simultaneously secure the sidechain without additional energy expenditures, providing high security and transaction finality for decentralized smart contracts.
- EVM Execution Layer: An Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible smart contract runtime environment that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized finance applications, decentralized exchanges, and automated market tools using standard Ethereum smart contract code.
- Union Bridge Protocol: An advanced cross-chain bridging architecture utilizing fraud-proof systems and cryptographic verification to enable secure asset transfers and data messaging between the execution layer and external independent blockchain networks.
- Atlas Onboarding Portal: An online interface and user portal designed to aggregate multiple routing pathways, helping users convert fiat or external crypto assets into the native execution token via connected decentralized exchanges and third-party bridges.
