Anduro Sidechains Info:

Anduro: a multi-sidechain platform on Bitcoin. Built to revolutionize the future of blockchain innovation and sustain the long-term incentives of Bitcoin Proof-of-Work. All Anduro sidechains are merge-mined and feature Bitcoin-pegged native assets (for transaction fees/gas).  

*Registrants of this hackathon will be receiving exclusive pre-launch access and are among the first to innovate on the Anduro ecosystem*

Chain 1: Coordinate  

A UTXO sidechain backwards compatible with Bitcoin. Built to scale the most far-reaching ideas of Bitcoin’s top experts. 

Key Technology 

  • Bitcoin-pegged native asset with non-native fungible & non-fungible UTXO asset issuance 

  • Simpler, faster, cheaper transactions 

  • Bitcoin scripting, no smart contracts 

  • Hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Authority consensus which directly pays mainchain Bitcoin miners 

  • Premium transacting which allows users to avoid fee bumps, pay the same fees across a block, receive 2-minute certainty over success or failure, and guarantee MEV resistance.

Chain 2: Alys 

An Ethereum-compatible sidechain with smart contract programmability compatible with any ERC standard. Built to power the most compelling use cases for blockchain technology, including payments, real world asset tokenization, loyalty, and more. 

Key Technology 

  • Bitcoin-pegged native asset used to pay for gas 

  • Ethereum developer experience, full EVM support 

  • Hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Authority consensus which directly pays mainchain Bitcoin miners 

  • Sub-15 second block times

 

 

Rootstock Sidechains Info

Rootstock is the top Bitcoin Layer 2 Blockchain, aiming to address the shortcomings of Bitcoin by leveraging Ethereum's scalability and programmability. 

Rootstock uses Solidity programming language, making it fully EVM compatible. You can build any EVM dApps and products on Bitcoin using Rootstock without any additional tools or knowledge.

On mainnet since 2018, Rootstock is secured by over 60% of the hash power of Bitcoin through a consensus mechanism known as Merge Mined Proof-Of-Work.

*Registrants of this Rootstock hackathon will be receiving exclusive fast-track to the Rootstock Grants Program and access a pool of $3M in grants, with tech, product and marketing support for growth purposes*
