About Rootstock:

Rootstock is the first and longest-standing Bitcoin side-chain with more than 6 years in Mainnet. As a PoW chain, Rootstock is secured by more than 50% of Bitcoin’s hash power through merged-mining, while contributing back to Bitcoin’s security budget by redirecting network fees to miners.

As a fully EVM-compatible chain, its native cryptocurrency is RBTC, a BTC-pegged asset redeemable for BTC through the two-way-peg, expanding BTC into new utilities via DeFi.

Rootstock Mainnet ecosystem currently counts with 146 dApps and protocols, circa 200M TVL, and an annual mark of around 83,796 active addresses and 2,499,622 transactions.
