The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to grow, with new networks and applications giving holders more ways to use their BTC. Connecting these environments is an important part of making Bitcoin more useful.
Satora has now integrated Rootstock, introducing swaps between rBTC on Rootstock and BTC across Bitcoin on-chain, the Lightning Network, and Arkade.
The integration expands Rootstock’s connectivity with the wider Bitcoin ecosystem, giving users additional ways to move between Bitcoin environments and access financial applications built on Rootstock.
What Is Satora?
Satora (previously known as Lendasat and Lendaswap) is a Bitcoin-focused swap platform that enables users to exchange assets across different Bitcoin environments. It supports swaps involving Bitcoin and stablecoins, helping users move between supported networks and assets. With the addition of Rootstock, Satora extends its offering to rBTC, connecting its existing swap infrastructure with Rootstock’s ecosystem of Bitcoin-powered financial applications.
What Does the Satora Integration Bring to Rootstock?
The integration introduces swaps between rBTC on Rootstock and BTC across three Bitcoin environments:
- Bitcoin on-chain: Swap between BTC on the Bitcoin mainchain and rBTC on Rootstock.
- Lightning Network: Swap between BTC on Lightning and rBTC on Rootstock.
- Arkade: Swap between BTC on Arkade and rBTC on Rootstock.
This gives Bitcoin holders more flexibility to move between the environments they already use and applications available on Rootstock.
It also introduces another point of connectivity for Rootstock, linking the network with payment and transaction infrastructure across the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Expanding Access to Bitcoin-Based Finance
Rootstock enables developers to build smart contracts and financial applications secured by Bitcoin’s proof-of-work through merged mining. Its ecosystem includes lending markets, trading platforms, stablecoins, and other onchain financial services that expand what Bitcoin holders can do with their assets.
The Satora integration adds another way to access these applications.
For example, someone holding BTC on Lightning can swap it for rBTC on Rootstock and use it to interact with supported applications. Similarly, users can move between Rootstock and other supported Bitcoin environments depending on their needs.
For developers and applications within the Rootstock ecosystem, additional integrations like Satora help extend the network’s reach to Bitcoin users across different environments.
Get Started with the Satora Integration
The integration is now available through Satora, where users can explore supported swap routes between Bitcoin on-chain, Lightning, Arkade, and rBTC on Rootstock.
Users can select their preferred route, enter a compatible receiving address, and review the available quote before proceeding.
