If you've been following the BTC ecosystem, RGB, Stacks, BitVM, etc.,
you might be wondering: when will Bitcoin's DeFi truly become usable?
That's where @rootstock_io comes in.
Rootstock is currently the longest-running and most secure DeFi Layer 2 on Bitcoin. It was actually the first Smart Contract Layer globally to bring EVM to Bitcoin.
Through merge-mining technology, combined with EVM's composability, it achieves both security and strong programmability.
Simply put, it makes Bitcoin more than just a tool for transferring or storing data; it allows for DeFi activities similar to Ethereum.
Recently, it underwent an upgrade that significantly reduced gas fees by 60%. Future protocol updates will further reduce block time from 30 seconds to 5 seconds, resulting in an even smoother experience!
If Rootstock is the infrastructure, then its token $RIF is Bitcoin's scaling token.
It's primarily used to drive the incentive mechanisms, infrastructure, and interoperability of the entire ecosystem.
The token is already traded on Binance, Bitget, Gate, MEXC, and BingX. Staking $RIF can mint stRIF, which is used to participate in Rootstock Collective proposals, voting, and fund allocation.
Rootstock held the Golden Sats event to give back to the community, with a total prize pool of $500,000!
In addition to $RIF tokens, there will also be a draw for two blue-chip NFT Lil Pudgy tokens 🐧. The event is currently in its final stages of season four, ending on December 15th.
I've heard there aren't many tickets available, so there are only a few days left, so hurry and grab yours!

After clicking to participate, you will be redirected to the Galaxy Missions below 👇
Completing the basic social mission will earn you 1 vote.
Transferring 40 USDT to the Rootstock chain and swapping at least 10 USDT will earn you 10 votes.
I used Dzap to transfer my BSC USDT to Rootstock RBTC and swap in one transaction to complete the mission.
You can also get 10-15 votes through lending, staking $RIF, and domain tokenization.
Whether you choose to do all of these to increase your chances of winning is up to you. I only completed the simple cross-chain interaction.
Currently, there are only 525 participants in the Galaxy Missions, so it's not very competitive. I suggest you try your luck.
Finally, don't forget to follow the official Twitter account @rootstock_io and the official Chinese account @RootstockCN. So you won't miss the latest news!
