Rootstock Infrastructure RIF is a suite of open-source infrastructure and developer tooling built on Rootstock, an EVM-compatible Bitcoin sidechain that brings smart contract capability to Bitcoin. Rootstock Infrastructure RIF's Twitter Score is 21 out of 1000 as of October 2026, ranking #47,715 (top 10%) among 493,668 tracked accounts.
Rootstock Infrastructure RIF is the project behind the RIF token, an ERC-20/ERC-677 token with a fixed total supply of one billion, used to stake, swap, and earn across DeFi protocols within the Rootstock ecosystem. The project was previously affiliated with RIF Labs Limited, which per the original whitepaper was set to acquire RSK Labs' assets and operations in exchange for a share of RIF tokens. Rootstock Infrastructure RIF is currently affiliated with RootstockCollective, where users stake RIF to receive stRIF, participate in governance votes on proposals and grants, and earn rewards denominated in rBTC and RIF.
Rootstock Infrastructure RIF's infrastructure stack spans several distinct components: RIF Wallet, RNS, RIF DeFi Gateway, RIF Relay, RIF Flyover, and RIF Rollup. RIF Relay enables transaction fees to be paid in ERC-20 tokens rather than RBTC, while RIF Flyover is designed to move Bitcoin into and out of Rootstock more quickly. RIF can also serve as collateral for USDRIF, a stablecoin pegged one-to-one to the US dollar. The project has continued to develop, with a May 2026 article covering RIF On Chain V3 and its introduction of multi-collateral support. Rootstock Infrastructure RIF has published 2,496 posts on the platform.
