LayerZero to Integrate with Bitcoin Sidechain Rootstock for Enhanced Connectivity
LayerZero plans to integrate with Bitcoin sidechain Rootstock, marking its first connection with the Bitcoin blockchain. This integration aims to address Bitcoin's lack of native smart contracts, which limits its functionality in decentralized finance (DeFi).
Key points:
- LayerZero facilitates communication between different crypto networks.
- Rootstock seeks to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities by enabling smart contract functionality.
- The integration will allow developers to create applications on Rootstock that interact with over 100 other blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana.
- This move aims to unlock liquidity held in Bitcoin for broader adoption in the crypto ecosystem.
