Decentral, creators of the universal wallet Jaxx, announced the integration of Rootstock’s token RSK to their software products to provide users with the opportunity to access the testnet version of the token, powered by smart contracts secured by the bitcoin network.
According to the official release, the announcement was made during laBITconf when Rootstock executives unveiled their platform to the world’s leading blockchain experts, fintech innovators and international reporters. Rootstock is available immediately on 7 of Jaxx’s 9 platforms and is expected with support for iPhone and iPad shortly.
“Rootstock’s platform is a remarkable way to enhance the efficiency of transactions and in turn, the entire bitcoin ecosystem. We’ve seen great interest in their project and we are big fans of the development team. Jaxx is thrilled to add the yellow label version of their coin on our wallets, and look forward to adding the main-net version in the coming months,” Anthony Di Iorio, CEO of Jaxx said.
Rootstock platform will facilitate more than 300 transactions per second and will confirm payments in less than 20 seconds. Combining the potentials of Ethereum with the security and transparency of the bitcoin network, the platform uses sidechain technology and a merged mining approach.
“Rootstock is not new in that it inherits intellectual work from previous projects, but what is new, is the way we create economic incentives and the way we leverage on top of the bitcoin security model. Our partnership with Jaxx is a landmark one for us because they produce full-featured, easy to use wallets on more platforms than anyone else,” Diego Gutierrez Zaldivar, co-founder of Rootstock said.
