The goal was never to replace the system. It was to give people a choice
@dieguito9000 has been building Rootstock for over a decade. And the way he frames it has always been the same.
“This is not a matter of destroying the centralized system. This is about creating #optionality. The powers of the world need to behave better and be at the service of the people.”
That optionality now runs on 8+ years of mainnet. Zero hacks. 100% uptime. Over 80% of #Bitcoin’s hash power securing the network.
Not a revolution. A parallel system that works, so the existing one has to earn your trust rather than demand it.

The real story of isn’t 80% of Bitcoin’s hashpower, 100% uptime, or zero hacks in 8 years.
It’s the question Diego Gutierrez Zaldivar asked over a decade ago that started it all: “Bitcoin serves the wealthier 15% of the population who can store value. But what about everybody else?”
That question became a protocol. A sidechain. A financial system protected by #Bitcoin, built for Everyone.
Eight years later, builders across the ecosystem have turned that into reality.
Starting a new job can be a lot. New faces, new ways, new tools, new everything.
A welcome kit won’t solve all of that. But it’s a way of saying: we’ve been thinking about you before you even walked in the door.
That matters to us at RootstockLabs. Small things usually do.
There are very few people who can say they helped strengthen the security of the #Bitcoin protocol. And, then went on to design an entirely new smart contract platform built on top of it.
Sergio Demian Lerner is one of them.
We caught up with RootstockLabs Co-founder and Scientific Advisor, Sergio, at our recent team offsite for a quickfire round.
Rootstock in 2030. #Quantumcomputing. And the person who actually inspires the man who built the protocol.

Is #quantumcomputing an imminent threat to #Bitcoin and Rootstock?
RootstockLabs researcher Nicolás Vescovo has a clear answer. And the reasoning behind it matters more than the headline.
In this short video, Nico breaks down why Shor’s algorithm is the real pressure point, why the threat is real but not immediate, and what RootstockLabs and other core contributors are already doing to prepare the Rootstock network for a post-quantum future.
The work is already underway. The roadmap is taking shape.
“This is the reason why we created Rootstock, to make sure that those #microfinance solutions can be built on top of #Bitcoin infrastructure.”
This week at bitcoin2026 (@bitcoin.conference ) in #LasVegas, Rootstock co-founder Gabriel Kurman joined the main stage for “The Network Effect of Bitcoin Education.” A conversation about driving real-world Bitcoin adoption in circular economies across Africa, Latin America, and beyond.
The real-world evidence is already there. Gabriel documented it.
Picking the right ecosystem to build on is one of the most important decisions all #crypto-native #developers have to make.
Three years ago, Pranav chose Rootstock, and he’s been building ever since.
During that time, he’s shipped dApps, contributed to open-source projects, and shared what he knows through blogs, videos, and workshops because he believes the ecosystem grows when developers bring others with them.
He’s been part of Rootcamp and Hacktivator, and stays closely connected to where Rootstock is heading as a RootstockCollective backer.
Most recently, he’s taken that same energy to Asia by building communities, onboarding developers, and growing a new wave of contributors to the ecosystem.
If you’re interested in building on Rootstock, we want to hear from you.

Who is #SatoshiNakamoto?
The @nytimes team just spent 18 months trying to find Satoshi.
Adam Back, they concluded!
Back in 2014, RootstockLabs Co-founder and Scientific Advisor Sergio Demian Lerner planned a slightly different approach in tracing #Satoshi.

@mercadobitcoin has surpassed $40M in RWA issuance on Rootstock this month.
From $20M deployed in January across a growing suite of on-chain products distributed through institutional and partner channels, that number has doubled in a matter of weeks.
Mercado Bitcoin is the largest digital asset exchange and investment banking platform in Latin America. Their activity on Rootstock reflects a broader shift: institutions are not waiting for Bitcoin-secured #finance to mature. They are building it now, on infrastructure that has run without interruption for over 3,000 days.
#RWA issuance. On-chain settlement. Institutional distribution. All secured by #Bitcoin proof-of-work.
Targeting $100 million in issuance by the end of Q2, this momentum shows Rootstock’s ability to support complex, high-value RWA settlements at scale.
