What does @RootstockLabs look like in 2030?
RootstockLabs co-founder and CEO @dieguito has a clear answer: a leading destination for companies that want their $BTC working for them.
He also covers quantum computing, culture, and one very important question. Does he know who Satoshi is?
BIG: Union Bridge is now live on Rootstock Testnet.
Built on @bitvmx, it replaces trusted intermediaries with cryptographic enforcement. Withdrawals verified and challenged directly on Bitcoin. No fixed signers. No committees.
"The point isn't that Union Bridge is invulnerable. It's that the attacks that have historically destroyed bridges, the majority trust failures, are no longer on the table," says @SDLerner, Co-founder and Scientific Advisor, @RootstockLabs.
This is an early, experimental release focused on validating core bridge flows and usability.

A stablecoin built for invoices, payroll, and treasury. Just launched on Rootstock.
@paystand, the B2B payments network moving billions for over a million businesses, took the stage at bitcoin2026 Las Vegas (@TheBitcoinConf) to launch USDb, a USD-backed stablecoin engineered for the workflows that actually run global commerce.
“AI is eating labor. Bitcoin is eating capital. Stablecoins are eating financial services. USDb is where those three forces converge," says @jeremyalmond on the launch.
One million businesses. $20 billion in payment volume across North and Latin America. And through Bitwage, an immediate corridor into cross-border payroll for 4,500 companies in nearly 200 countries.
That's the network now settling on Bitcoin. Secured by proof-of-work, programmable on @rootstock_io.

IRAN JUST BECAME THE BIGGEST BITCOIN BUYER ON EARTH
Iran charges $2M in Bitcoin per ship to cross Hormuz
At $72,000 per $BTC, each ship = 27.7 BTC
~130 ships cross daily
For context:
Miners produce 450 $BTC/day
Iran earns 3,601 $BTC/day
That's 8x the entire daily mining supply
MicroStrategy took 4 years to stack 500K $BTC
Iran could do it in 5 months... with a toll booth
