Organizations can harness the power of RIF to create and deploy useful and scalable fintech products and services on the blockchain.
Get in touchAbout RIF
RIF was created to make it easier for developers to build on Bitcoin using Rootstock by proposing and developing a unified set of protocols, rules and interfaces for decentralized infrastructure services, including: Bridges, Name Resolution Services, Payments, Data Feeds (i.e. Oracles) and Bitcoin DeFi Wallets.
RIF is short for Rootstock Infrastructure Framework. It's a set of protocols, interfaces and reference materials. With RIF, the aim is to make it so developers can create scalable DeFi products quickly and easily.
RIF aims to bridge the gap between complex blockchain technology and seamless user experience. It helps organizations create innovative DeFi products, by providing the infrastructure and resources needed to solve key user accessibility challenges.
The RIF Token
Financial institutions and developers can use the RIF token to build and interact with powerful financial products, offer alternatives to traditional banking and move money around the world seamlessly. Anyone can access and use RIF tokens but thanks to the way the protocols are built, customers can benefit from all the advantages of DeFi without every worrying about the complexity of crypto.

About Rootstock
All RIF products are built on Rootstock. Rootstock is Bitcoin’s first and longest standing sidechain that provides EVM-compatible smart contract functionality using bitcoin as the native asset. People around the world use Rootstock every day to interact with DeFi apps secured by Bitcoin.
Rootstock’s unique position as the first open-source smart contract platform secured by the Bitcoin network makes it the ideal network to realize the full potential of RIF. Rootstock is mined by more hashpower than any other chain, except Bitcoin itself, making it the most permissionless and censorship-resistant Bitcoin sidechain. Rootstock and RIF work hand-in-hand, allowing businesses to access secure decentralized tools that help them build DeFi solutions for their users.
