Bridging Two Giants: Bitcoin and Smart Contracts
The open-source smart contract platform Rootstock (RSK) is gearing up to join forces with Etherparty to take a giant leap in the realm of blockchain technology. Their collaboration aims to accelerate the use and adoption of smart contracts on Bitcoin, a territory historically dominated by Ethereum. And let’s face it—Bitcoin could really use a little more smart in its contract game!
What to Expect from This Power Partnership
In a recent press announcement, the two parties revealed their plans to develop smart contracts that will work seamlessly across both platforms. This mutual compatibility is not just an industrial trend; it could signify a paradigm shift in how businesses leverage blockchain technology beyond mere cryptocurrency transactions.
Current Developments: A Taste of What’s to Come
Etherparty, known for its innovative smart contract creation platform, is still in beta. As of now, it’s open exclusively to a select crowd of about 500 testers who are likely conversing about smart contracts over organic matcha tea in co-working spaces. The good news? The launch of their public release, fueled by their Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for the FUEL token, is expected by the end of 2017.
Words from the Wise
“We have been working with the RSK team now for some time and the union of these two great technologies will help further the adoption of Blockchain and smart contract technology to the masses,”
Kevin Hobbs, CEO of Etherparty developer Vanbex, is certainly more optimistic than your average fortune cookie. His enthusiasm underscores the potential reach of smart contracts in making blockchain technology accessible to everyday users.
Looking Ahead: What This Means for Industries
The blockchain revolution isn’t just knocking on the door—it’s starting a dance party! According to Henry Sraigman, Rootstock’s head of business development, “Blockchain technology will disrupt almost every industry we’ve seen so far and probably will also create new ones.”
So, set your calendars, because whether you’re a business owner or just a crypto enthusiast, it’s a wild ride ahead!
The Road to Mainstream Adoption
Achieving mainstream acceptance for smart contract development on RSK is crucial for its success. After all, you can’t just drop the hottest new mixtape and expect everyone to vibe with it. This partnership with Etherparty aims to lay down the beats that resonate throughout industries and elevate Bitcoin’s standing as a viable smart contract platform.
