Summary

  • Rootstock announced collaboration with LayerZero and Stargate to improve cross-chain interoperability.
  • Rootstock's wrapped tokens rBTC and RIF are expected to become available across multiple chains.
  • Through this partnership, developers can now easily build cross-chain applications across various chains.

Rootstock, Bitcoin's first sidechain, announced on the 20th through its official channels that it has established partnerships with omnichian messaging protocol LayerZero (ZRO) and cross-chain bridge Stargate (STG).

This collaboration aims to improve ▲cross-chain interoperability and ▲liquidity fragmentation issues by implementing LayerZero and Stargate's cross-chain bridges on Rootstock, allowing developers and users to access more than 20 major blockchains.

Wrapped tokens rBTC and RIF on the Rootstock network are expected to become usable across various chains including Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum.

Regarding this, Rootstock stated, "With this partnership, developers can now easily build cross-chain applications across more than 100 chains," adding that "We will be able to create a powerful dApp (decentralized application) ecosystem that combines Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, LayerZero messaging capabilities, and Bitcoin network security."
