Rootstock, usually shortened to RSK, is a smart contract network built around Bitcoin. It is a sidechain, so it runs alongside Bitcoin rather than inside it, and it supports EVM-style contracts. That lets developers reuse familiar Ethereum tooling while the main asset on the network is Bitcoin. Users generally move BTC in through a bridge, and the RSK Bridge on our list is the canonical way to do this and to obtain rBTC.
The network's gas and base asset is rBTC, a Bitcoin-backed token, so fees are paid in a BTC-linked unit rather than a separate speculative coin. We do not have a reliable token price or chain-wide TVL figure for Rootstock at the time of writing, so check live trackers for current numbers. The top-TVL names on this page, such as LayerZero V2, Gate and USDT0, are multichain, and their TVL covers all supported networks rather than Rootstock alone.
The native Rootstock ecosystem is known for Bitcoin-centred DeFi. Sovryn Dex and Sovryn Zero cover trading, margin and 0% interest loans, while MoneyOnChain and RIF On Chain offer dual-token stablecoin designs backed by BTC and RIF. Lending apps include LayerBank, Segment Finance and the now wound-down Tropykus RSK. Smaller experiments such as RskSwap, BabelFish and Blindex show the long tail, and some of them have very little liquidity. Always weigh smart contract, bridge and liquidation risk before using any of them.

Frequently asked questions
What is Rootstock (RSK)?
Rootstock, also written RSK, is a Bitcoin sidechain that runs smart contracts and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It lets Bitcoin holders use lending, trading and stablecoin apps while keeping BTC as the base asset.
Is Rootstock compatible with Ethereum?
Yes. Rootstock runs EVM-style smart contracts, which is why the Uniswap V2 fork RskSwap can run on it and why many Ethereum-style tools work there. Wallet and developer support still varies by app, so check each dApp's own instructions.
How do I get funds onto Rootstock?
The RSK Bridge is the canonical route linking Rootstock with Bitcoin and Ethereum, and it is used to obtain rBTC. Other cross-chain tools on our list, such as Symbiosis, may also reach the network. Always check the supported networks and fees on the bridge you choose before sending funds.
Which dApps are popular on Rootstock?
Native Rootstock options on our list include Sovryn Dex for trading and margin, Sovryn Zero for CDP loans, MoneyOnChain and RIF On Chain for dual-token stablecoins, and RskSwap for basic swaps. LayerBank and Segment Finance offer lending on Rootstock among other chains. Scores, TVL and risk notes are on each dApp's page.
Are Rootstock dApps risky?
Yes, as with any DeFi. Smart contract bugs, liquidation in CDP and leveraged products, bridge risk and stablecoin depegs can all cause losses. Some listed projects have very small TVL or have wound down, such as Tropykus RSK, so check each project's status first. This page is not financial advice.
Are all the dApps listed here built only for Rootstock?
No. LayerZero V2, Gate, USDT0, Uniswap V3 and several others on our list run on many chains, and their TVL figures cover the whole protocol rather than Rootstock alone. For Rootstock-specific activity, look at native projects such as the Sovryn products, MoneyOnChain and RIF On Chain.
What is the largest dApp on Rsk by TVL?
LayerZero V2 is the largest dApp on Rsk by total value locked, with $17.9B across all the chains it supports. It is followed by Gate ($5.91B) and USDT0 ($3.36B). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
Which dApp on Rsk has the highest DappsAtlas score?
