This article is part of Rootstock’s series “Building DeFi on Bitcoin” which explores different solutions and integrations on the Rootstock blockchain that enable scaling Bitcoin, bringing DeFi capabilities to the world’s most secure Bitcoin DeFi layer.
Bedrock is the first multi-asset liquid restaking protocol, pioneering Bitcoin staking with uniBTC. As the leading BTC liquid staking token, uniBTC enables holders to earn rewards while maintaining liquidity, unlocking new yield opportunities in Bitcoin’s $1T market.
And now with the new integration with Rootstock, you can earn rewards and restake your BTC directly on Rootstock by minting uniBTC, unlocking yield across multiple DeFi integrations while keeping your Bitcoin liquid and secure.
This article offers a step-by-step tutorial to start liquid staking on Rootstock.
