Base Layer

BitEigen uses Rootstock (RBTC) as our foundational base to interact with the Bitcoin network, leveraging its robust security model while enabling faster transactions and higher scalability. Rootstock is a sidechain scaling solution for the Bitcoin network that integrates seamlessly with Bitcoin and Ethereum, providing an ideal platform for BitEigen to build upon.

So why did we choose Rootstock?

Inheriting Bitcoin’s Security

Security is paramount for BitEigen, and Rootstock leverages the same security model as Bitcoin. By anchoring transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, BitEigen ensures the safety of user assets and fosters trust within the ecosystem. This is especially crucial for Web3 games where players own valuable in-game items and currencies. Bitcoin’s robust and time-tested security provides a strong foundation that is essential for maintaining the integrity and reliability of the BitEigen network.

Enhanced Scalability

Rootstock significantly enhances the scalability of the Bitcoin network by allowing faster transaction processing and higher throughput. This scalability is essential for supporting a large number of transactions required by Web3 applications, particularly in the gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) sectors. By using Rootstock, BitEigen can handle high transaction volumes efficiently, ensuring smooth and responsive user experiences.

Compatibility with Ethereum

Rootstock is compatible with Ethereum in terms of its virtual machine (EVM) and the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) API it exposes. This compatibility allows BitEigen to support Ethereum smart contracts and tools, enabling developers to easily port their existing Ethereum dApps to the BitEigen platform. The ability to leverage Ethereum’s extensive ecosystem of development tools and resources accelerates the development process and reduces barriers to entry for developers.

Secure Smart Contract Execution

Rootstock provides a secure environment for executing smart contracts, combining Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities. This hybrid approach ensures that smart contracts on BitEigen are both secure and efficient. For Web3 applications, particularly in gaming and DeFi, this means that complex transactions and interactions can be carried out securely, reducing the risk of exploits and vulnerabilities.

Trust and Transparency

By building on Rootstock, BitEigen benefits from the inherent trust and transparency of the Bitcoin network. Transactions anchored on Bitcoin are immutable and transparent, providing users with confidence in the integrity of the network. This trust is vital for attracting users and developers to the BitEigen platform, as it ensures that their assets and data are protected by one of the most secure blockchains in existence.
