On August 1st 2024, the Rootstock community will be coming together for its first Ecosystem Summit of 2024. This digital event, powered by RootstockLabs, is the first, of a planned quarterly, event where developers and users of Rootstock unite in order to discover the newest protocols, hear the latest news hitting the Rootstock ecosystem.
The Quarterly Rootstock Ecosystem Summit brings together core contributors, builders, developers and Bitcoin DeFi enthusiasts from across the Rootstock ecosystem to discuss the latest developments on the network.

Rootstock is the first, biggest, and longest-running Bitcoin sidechain, with over 13 million transactions, to date, taking place across its network.
This summit will be focused on the newest protocols set to launch for the sidechain in the near future. In addition, many of the biggest Bitcoin builders on Rootstock will be sharing their latest developments and news, as well as upcoming announcements for future integrations onto Rootstock. Attendees of the event will be first to know about funding, giveaways and other initiatives being run by contributors to the largest and longest-running Bitcoin sidechain.

This initiative is part of RootstockLabs’ $3.25 million commitment this year to boost the Rootstock ecosystem. The funding will support the Grants Program to attract top protocols, exchanges, and developer tools to Rootstock.
“The Rootstock Ecosystem Summit is for users and developers of Rootstock and it is our desire to see it become the most prolific digital event for the DeFi sector. Events in other industries like this have shown the benefits that happen when like-minded developers come together and share their latest advancements, so it seemed only natural that Rootstock should see an event of this kind as well. We hope the results of this summit will help the Rootstock community evolve and produce beneficial technology for all users of BitCoin and DeFi.” Richard Green, RootstockLabs Head of Partner Success

About Rootstock
Rootstock is the world’s most secure smart contract platform that is cryptographically connected to the Bitcoin blockchain. Known as a Bitcoin sidechain, Rootstock uses a censorship-resistant two-way peg to allow users to send Bitcoin directly to the Rootstock chain which is then converted into smart Bitcoins (RBTC) on the Rootstock blockchain. These RBTC can be used to deploy or to interact with smart contracts and dApps on the Rootstock blockchain. BTC can be easily moved back to the Bitcoin mainchain at any point using the trustless bridge or through a variety of protocols such as Sovryn FastBTC.
