About Rootstock Infrastructure Framework

Meet RIF, the building blocks of a new financial system

  • Send money anywhere in the world with local currency on/off ramps
  • Save in USD with safe, low-risk, stablecoins
  • Borrow with uncollateralized community-supported loans
  • Pay utility bills and receive salaries in crypto

The Rootstock Infrastructure Framework, commonly referred to as RIF, is a comprehensive suite designed to facilitate the development and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps) by providing a set of open and decentralized infrastructure protocols. This framework aims to simplify the process of creating dApps by offering a unified environment that supports faster, easier, and more scalable development. RIF is built on top of Rootstock Smart, a pioneering smart contract platform that leverages the security of the Bitcoin network, thereby combining the benefits of Bitcoin's robust security features with the advanced capabilities of smart contract execution.

RIF's mission extends beyond merely providing the technical foundation for dApps. It aims to bridge the gap between blockchain technology and widespread adoption by making decentralized financial products more accessible. This includes enabling functionalities like sending money globally with local currency on/off ramps, saving in stablecoins, accessing uncollateralized loans through community support, and facilitating the payment of utility bills and receipt of salaries in cryptocurrency.
