Why This Matters
For Bitcoiners:
Bridge your Bitcoin with confidence.
The PowPeg App is the official, native, and most secure bridge for moving BTC into the Rootstock ecosystem. It leverages Bitcoin’s own security guarantees, merged mining, and decentralized federation to provide unmatched trust.
With the PowPeg App v3.1 upgrade:
- Flyover-enhanced peg-ins make bridging BTC faster while still finalizing through the trust-minimized PowPeg mechanism.
- Built on Bitcoin principles: Rootstock inherits Bitcoin’s PoW security, and PowPeg ensures your BTC never relies on centralized custodians or wrapped assets.
- Trustless entry into Bitcoin DeFi: Access the Rootstock ecosystem using real BTC, not wrapped tokens.
With the Flyover v2.2 upgrade:
For Liquidity Providers:
- Set custom fees as a percentage of the bridged value, aligns rewards with transaction size.
- Easier to optimize for profit, competitiveness, or strategy.
For Builders:
- New SDK tools make integrating Bitcoin bridging into apps simpler than ever.
- Improved Flyover reliability means smoother UX for users.
