The Iris network upgrade is coming to RSK in the near future. The RSKIPs that will be included have been discussed by the RSK community and, apart from one RSKIP whose addition still depends on code readiness, no further change will occur ...
With the advent of DeFi, several fiat-pegged tokens have become a preferred means of payment and savings for both users and miners. Most blockchains rely on a single native token to pay for transaction fees. This results in ...
The RSK project started as a fork of an Ethereum codebase in 2016 and it was developed for 2 years until it was finally launched in 2018. During those years, crucial data structures were upgraded, and precompiled contracts and new opcodes were added ...
RSK’s 2-way peg protocol, called “the Powpeg”, has matured from its inception in 2018 as a federation to now include many decentralized qualities. The new RSK Powpeg protects private keys stored in special purpose PowHSMs based on tamper-proof secure elements (SE) ...

Many decentralized applications require the generation of random numbers with a certain amount of entropy. This requirement occurs in simple lotteries and in complex smart-contracts that verify proofs interactively using challenge-response protocols...
Most blockchains have a preferred cryptocurrency to pay for transaction fees. This simple design has many benefits. First, to bootstrap an economy, the native token model creates an initial demand for a new token. Second, it ...
In this article we argue that the 1/64 CALL gas reduction in EIP150 is problematic and we suggest Ethereum 2.0 should revert this change. That’s why RSK ...
In the United States, my bank charges $3 for an electronic funds transfer to someone else’s account, a process that takes 2-3 business days. Next day ...
