Blockchain wallet Jaxx announces Rootstock integration

Decentral, creators of the universal wallet Jaxx, announced the integration of Rootstock’s token RSK “Smart Bitcoin,” into their suite of software products.

According to Jaxx’s press release, “Jaxx becomes the first blockchain wallet to effect the integration, which will give users an opportunity to access the testnet version of the token, powered by smart contracts secured by the bitcoin network.”

“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,” said Jaxx CEO Anthony Di Iorio.

Rootstock is an evolution of QixCoin, a turing-complete cryptocurrency created back in 2013 by the same development team. Rootstock will facilitate over 300 transactions per second and confirms payments in less than 20 seconds. The platform will combine the capabilities of Ethereum with the security and transparency of the bitcoin network, using sidechain technology and a merged mining approach.
