Rootstock is the first and longest-running Bitcoin sidechain, fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). By using the Solidity programming language, it ensures seamless interoperability with Ethereum-based applications.
On mainnet since 2018, Rootstock is secured by over 80% of the hash power of Bitcoin through a consensus mechanism known as Merged Mined Proof-Of-Work. It also uses a 1:1 to Bitcoin pegged native token RBTC that allows you to interact with DeFi protocols and dApps on the Rootstock network. You can use RBTC for minting, swaps, gas fees, and more.
This hackathon is a unique opportunity for builders to innovate in the Bitcoin ecosystem and contribute to the evolving blockchain landscape.
Build practical DeFi applications on Rootstock and/or RIF technologies. We’re looking for accessible, efficient tools that redefine everyday finance, with a special emphasis on yield optimization to maximize user returns. 🔸Lending protocols 🔸Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) 🔸Yield farming strategies 🔸Liquidity pools 🔸Insurance protocols 🔸Decentralized credit scoring 🔸Trading bots
The README should include:
Build high-quality decentralized applications (dApps) on Rootstock and unleash your creativity. We’re looking for innovative solutions, and while not required, integrating AI-driven tools or techniques will earn you bonus points for showcasing advanced innovation. 🔸Ai-powered smart contracts or analytics 🔸Ai Agents 🔸Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization 🔸Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) 🔸Privacy-preserving smart contracts
The README should include:
In this session, we will guide you through building an EVM-compatible dApp on Bitcoin using Rootstock (RSK). Suitab...
