Bitcoin Sidechain Rootstock Welcomes New DEX SushiSwap
Key Points:
The announcement, revealed to CoinDesk on Thursday, underscores a pivotal moment for Bitcoin, ushering in a new era of decentralized exchanges.
Bitcoin sidechain Rootstock, established in 2018, has been at the forefront of efforts to bring decentralized finance (DeFi) functionalities to Bitcoin, akin to Ethereum and BNB Chain. Functioning as a sidechain, Rootstock boasts security features drawn from Bitcoin’s proof-of-work system. The integration with SushiSwap aims to enrich DeFi offerings on the Bitcoin network, presenting users with fresh swapping mechanisms, bolstered liquidity, and potential yield prospects.
Central to Rootstock’s mission is its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), positioning itself as the inaugural Bitcoin sidechain with EVM support. This strategic move aligns with Rootstock’s vision of amalgamating Bitcoin’s security prowess with Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities, facilitating the creation and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps).
The expansion of SushiSwap onto Rootstock reflects the industry’s growing inclination towards exploring novel DeFi applications. Notably, last year, Uniswap also broadened its horizons by extending its operations to the Bitcoin blockchain through integration with the Rootstock sidechain.
