Bitcoin-Based Ethereum Rival RSK Set to Launch in the coming month
Open-source smart contract platform RSK is a Bitcoin sidechain with a 2-way peg and merged mining to reward bitcoin miners for securing the RSK network. “RSK enables smart-contracts, near instant payments and higher-scalability,” its website describes. RSK Lab’s CEO and co-founder Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar recently posted on the company’s Telegram channel, “On December 4th RSK Mainnet beta will be launched.”
Lerner shared with news.Bitcoin.com on Friday some details of the upcoming RSK launch.
News.Bitcoin.com (BC): Has Segwit2x’s cancellation affected the RSK launch timeframe?
Sergio Lerner (SL): Our timeframe hasn’t changed much because we had aimed to launch after the Segwit2x hard-fork.
