Rootstock Infrastructure (RIF)

BTC does money better than anything. RIF does everything money shouldn’t. Together they unlock BTC-native finance on @rootstock_io.

Happening tomorrow ⏲️ There's a lot planned with @raissabino91. Hear from: > @eleanor_RColl of @RootstockColl > @alexanderguy from @aori_io > Nicolas Vargas going through a demo of AI on Rootstock > Sebastian Guaqueta Melo with a demo on Collective SDK's

Another project launched via All-or-Nothing crowdfunding model on @geyserfund, power by Rootstock. Projects only launch when they’re fully funded. This time it's for the production and distribution of a book by @RunwithBitcoin. Good luck!

Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value anymore. Where does it fit in your stack today? 👇

Is your BTC sitting idle? @LayerBankFi allows users to supply to earn yield or use it as collateral to borrow, without selling their Bitcoin.

There's a quiet question in Bitcoin not many talk about. And most L2s aren't helping. Here's @SDLerner in a chat with @isabelfoxenduke on how Rootstock addressed this from day one 👇

🚨 Important 🚨 The Token Bridge (Ethereum ↔ Rootstock) will no longer be supported after the end of March 2026. If you have assets there, move them now. @StargateFinance is the recommended route going forward. Details in the blog linked in comments 👇

$260B in idle BTC. Rootstock accounts for 30% of all BTCFi activity And now institutions can put their share to work without compromising custody or security. (Linked blog with details in comments) Already trusted by @Animocabrandskk, @MidasRWA, @MercadoBitcoin, @mellowprotocol, @TyrCapital, @utila_io and @Fireblocks among others. The institutional Bitcoin stack is live.

Institutional capital isn’t slowing down. This month, @MercadoBitcoin has tokenized another $10m of RWAs on Rootstock, bringing the total to ~$28m.

When Rootstock launched in 2018, the goal was clear yet ambitious: to bring smart contract capabilities to Bitcoin while maintaining the security guarantees that make Bitcoin unique. Years later, the most important metric is reliability. Today marks a milestone that proves just that: 3,000 days with 100% uptime. Since its launch, the network has operated continuously, enabling developers, institutions, and financial platforms to build on Bitcoin. Currently, Rootstock offers: • Security anchored to over 80% of Bitcoin’s global hashrate through merge-mining • A mature EVM-compatible environment for developers • Eight years of uninterrupted network operation Infrastructure supporting global finance must prove its reliability over time. After 3,000 days, Rootstock continues to demonstrate exactly that.

Swap from Lightning to USDT0 on Rootstock, in seconds. Non-custodial. No accounts. No KYC. Congrats to @kilrau and the team at @Boltzhq on the launch🔥

Bitcoin doesn't yield at the base layer. It never will. It is the world's most reliable Settlement Layer. Secure, immutable, trusted. But it is not designed to carry the financial infrastructure required to generate yield at scale. To collateralise it, lend it, structure it, or build products around it, Bitcoin must move into environments that support programmability and capital markets activity. That movement is unavoidable. Professional allocators, sovereign entities, and ETF issuers now hold more than 10% of all Bitcoin. Yet 99% of that supply remains unproductive, earning 0% yield while still incurring custody costs. Bitcoin is the cleanest collateral in the world. Its financialisation lags far behind assets with far weaker fundamentals. The opportunity is enormous. At full maturity, more than $500B could flow into Bitcoin yield and lending markets. The winners will not be those who move fastest. They will be the ones who build trust, control distribution, and manage yield with institutional discipline. Bitcoin ETFs scaled because the instrument was simple, compliant, and trusted. Bitcoin yield products must reach the same bar. That means solving bridging risk, closing the risk/reward mismatch, embedding high-grade underwriting, and building scaled partnerships grounded in transparency. The race is not about whether Bitcoin will be financialised. It is about which Execution Layer can make that path trustworthy enough for institutional adoption.

Are you ready?

This is what building looks like. @geyserfund saw an opportunity to handle complex payment logic differently and shipped it. Prism runs on Rootstock and brings non-custodial payment splits to Bitcoin crowdfunding. Congrats team 🧡

The USDT0 bridge-out time from Rootstock has been reduced by 75%. To any chain supported by @USDT0_to

AI in web3. New integrations.@RootstockColl updates 🤩 That's this month's Bitcoin ₿uilders Call. @eleanor_RColl of RootstockCollective will join live from WalletCon (@WalletConnect) in Cannes to discuss v9.0, the 34M RIF milestone + latest proposals. @RootstockLabs Head of DevEx will be there to discuss AI in Web3 and how Rootstock is exploring that. A new Rootstock integration (announcement soon👀). Speaker from their team will also join in.

Final panelist confirmed: Ron Hasgall from @utila_io. Ron, Head of Business Development at Utila, joins our webinar Bitcoin: From Digital Gold to Productive Capital. Ron will be joined by @etn1337 (@mellowprotocol) and @tgwxyz (@Tyr_Capital). Registration link in COMMENTS.

Heads up for anyone bridging between Ethereum and Rootstock. ⚠️The Token Bridge is being deprecated at the end of March 2026. @StargateFinance is the recommended route going forward. If you've got assets on the bridge, don't leave it to the last minute. Blog linked in the comments with details.

Atlas is coming...
