Rootstock is:
• The BTCFi layer
• building infrastructure for Bitcoin-secured finance
• and enabling onchain capital markets across $BTC vaults, structured products, credit markets and RWAs.
"When we started, we had 5% of the hashing power of Bitcoin protecting Rootstock. Now we have 85%", @dieguito.
The progression:
Jan 2018: ~5%
End 2018: 35%
2019–2023: 50%
2024: ~59%
2025: ~82%
2026: >84%

It may be the exact opposite.
As major operators redirect infrastructure, hash rate and market share could begin shifting toward the miners that remain focused on Bitcoin.

Institutions do not assess Bitcoin infrastructure by asking only what it can do.
They ask:
• What secures it?
• Who controls it?
• What new trust assumptions are introduced?
• Can it be audited with existing systems?
That is where Rootstock stands apart.

The discussion @dieguito had with his Bitcoin maxi friends:
Bitcoin can’t just be digital gold. It has to work for everyone.
That has been Rootstock’s mission from Day 1.

Many of those obituaries appeared during major drawdowns, when falling prices were treated as proof that Bitcoin would never recover.
