How decentralized is Rootstock? Start with this: In Q1 2026, more than 84% of Bitcoin’s total hashrate contributed to securing Rootstock through merged mining. That means Bitcoin miners can help secure Rootstock without needing extra hardware or additional computational work. Rootstock’s decentralization is built across multiple layers: • Bitcoin Proof-of-Work through merged mining • The PowPeg for BTC bridging • @RootstockColl for community-led ecosystem governance Bitcoin security | Smart contract functionality | Decentralized by design. Still early.

What’s the most exciting $RIF use case? 👀

RootstockCollective is growing 🚀 We officially doubled in size, and we’re excited to share our full team 🧡 Growth means more builders, more ideas, and more momentum as we continue building for the community and ecosystem. This is only the beginning ⚡

Price gets attention. Utility keeps it. $RIF is not just a token people watch. It’s a token people can use: Stake, vote, earn, build, and participate in RootstockCollective. The Bitcoin DeFi story is getting harder to ignore.

$RIF is having a moment. More attention. More activity. More people are looking at what’s being built around Bitcoin DeFi, @rootstock_io, and the RootstockCollective. Price is one signal, but the bigger story is ecosystem conviction.

40.6% of Bitcoin sidechain DeFi TVL is on Rootstock.

Excited to welcome two new members to the RootstockCollective team 🚀 🔹 @rahmego joins us as Marketing Lead 🔹 @Car0l_0x joins us as Program Manager Welcome to the team, Raissa & Carol, excited for what’s ahead 🧡

Not all stablecoins are equal. $USDRIF is $RIF-backed, pegged 1:1 to USD, and has no central issuer; it is now live on @BALTprotocol. ✅ No freeze risk ✅ Fully onchain collateral ✅ Native to @rootstock_io Dollar-pegged vaults. Decentralized by design.

What a cool event #bitkub #bitcoinpizzaday2026 #zircuitfinance
