Comms at WakeUp Labs.

January 25, 2024

WakeUp Labs starts working with Rootstock technology to promote blockchain adoption.

WakeUp Labs is happy to announce that it has started utilizing Rootstock, the world’s first Bitcoin sidechain launched in 2018 and has been growing ever since, to foster blockchain adoption. As a fully EVM-compatible sidechain to Bitcoin, Rootstock makes it easy for developers to quickly and easily deploy dApps harnessing the security of Bitcoin.

It's not the first move WakeUp has made to assist businesses developing on the Rootstock Blockchain. With WakeUp’s technical support and know-how, they have guided numerous clients in seamlessly integrating the Rootstock blockchain.

Agro Kilimo Development by WakeUp Labs

By the end of 2022, WakeUp started working with Kilimo, the leading digital platform for irrigation management in agriculture, to launch the first verified water-saving certification platform.
This MVP enables Kilimo to provide certifications as non-fungible tokens representing farmers' water savings and highlighting Kilimo's dedication to sustainable agriculture.

This RWA (real-world-assets) project allowed farmers to swap these certificates with big companies, enabling them to offset a portion or the entire water footprint they had generated.

Rootstock Blockchain Integration in WakeUp's Platform

Later, WakeUp integrated the Rootstock blockchain into its platform, facilitating development on Rootstock through simple APIs. This approach aims to enable more projects to be easily deployed on Rootstock and foster new developers to join the Blockchain revolution.

WakeUp Joins the Rootstock Token Bridge Federation

WakeUp has also joined the #RSK Token Bridge Federation 🙌

This means that they are a validator node for the Ethereum <> RSK bridge, and therefore, they contribute to the decentralization and security of the ecosystem. 


If you want to know more, here is their public key:

To conclude, we'd like to share that WakeUp is working on a project to further simplify various actions for users on the Rootstock blockchain. We'll be sharing more details soon!

About Rootstock.

Rootstock, previously known as RSK, is the world’s first EMV-compatible smart contract Bitcoin sidechain with more than 60% of Bitcoin’s hash power currently mining Rootstock. This means that Rootstock is mined by more hashpower than any other chain, except Bitcoin itself. 

Rootstock expands the capabilities of Rootstock enabling users and developers to deploy and interact with smart contracts and dApps in the ecosystem utilizing the Rootstock Virtual Machine (RVM).
