what's RootstockLabs?

RootstockLabs is a company pioneering Bitcoin's expansion into DeFi since 2017. They develop tools for developers to build on Bitcoin, support the Rootstock (RSK) ecosystem, and advance decentralized technologies. Their mission focuses on enabling Everyday DeFi—seamless payments, savings, remittances, and loans—using stablecoins through intuitive Web2 interfaces on Bitcoin's secure infrastructure. As key contributors to Rootstock, Bitcoin's first EVM-compatible sidechain launched in 2018 and secured by over 80% of Bitcoin's hash power, RootstockLabs drives its evolution for smart contracts and dApps. They also build Rootstock Infrastructure (RIF), offering scaling tokens, governance, grants, dev tools, and DeFi primitives to accelerate Bitcoin's programmability and adoption.
