Last day tomorrow (Oct 20) to have your say on the plan for the ECX tied to BTC in the Rootstock PowPeg.
eCash forks from Bitcoin on Oct 31.
Read the proposal and share your input 👇
eCash is set to fork from Bitcoin on Oct 31, giving BTC holders a matching balance of ECX.
@LayerTwoLabs
So who gets the ECX tied to the BTC locked in the Rootstock PowPeg?
@SDLerner on what’s at stake👇
(more in the thread)
Bitcoin’s next chapter might have less to do with its price and more to do with what it can finance.
At Bitcoin Asia and WDMS 2026, one theme stood out: BTC is becoming collateral for lending, mining expansion and institutional finance.
And @Rootstock_io is building in this way
There’s still work to do.
Bitcoin-backed finance needs sound collateral rules, transparent custody, careful risk management and real demand.
But the direction is clear: Bitcoin is becoming part of a wider financial system, not just an asset sitting on a balance sheet.
But where does the financial infrastructure come in?
Rootstock brings smart contracts to Bitcoin-secured infrastructure through merged mining.
That opens the door to applications around lending, stablecoins and tokenized assets the building blocks for more programmable Bitcoin
Think about Bitcoin miners.
They need capital to grow, but selling BTC to fund expansion means giving up exposure.
Bitcoin-backed credit offers another route: borrow against BTC, access liquidity, keep the position.

Why does Rootstock wait ~36 hours before signing a peg-out?
Because bridge security is not just about moving bitcoin:native. Rootstock’s PowPeg was designed around that reality, with multiple independent safeguards.
That’s one of questions we answer in our new PowPeg security FAQ 👇

Two conferences. Countless conversations. One question kept coming up in Singapore.🇸🇬
What does Bitcoin do next?
Ron, from the RootstockLabs team, spent the beginning of this month between @token2049 and @CoinFerenceX, and came back with a clear read: fewer hype cycles, more serious questions about where value actually lives.
His key takeaways:
• Private markets are back on the agenda. The "where to allocate now" conversation has moved past chasing narratives. People want real yield, backed by real infrastructure.
• The future of money comes down to the rails. Security, programmability and reliable settlement have to come together, or none of it scales.
• Bitcoin sits at the center of all of it. It's the most secure, most trusted asset in the space, and the demand to put it to work is only growing.
That's what Rootstock is built for: smart contracts and Bitcoin-secured finance.
What if building on @rootstock_io became easier with AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex? 👀
Rootstock has been improving its Developer Portal so AI tools can find and process its technical documentation more easily.
That matters more than it might seem.
That doesn’t mean AI-generated code is automatically secure or correct.
But if building on Bitcoin secured smart contracts becomes easier, more developers may be able to experiment.
That’s progress worth watching. 🧡

The bigger picture?
Rootstock is preparing its developer experience for a world where humans and AI agents build together.
Rootstock has added machine-readable documentation resources, including llms.txt, and improved how technical content is delivered.
In simple terms, AI tools have a clearer path to the information they need.
Less friction finding the docs.
