Thanks for the updates @Josie and it’s good to see both Superstake and Peach Bitcoin live on Rootstock mainnet.
As Rootstock has updated the grant framework under V3.2 to focus more heavily on measurable ecosystem impact, we think it becomes increasingly important that the value created for Rootstock can be clearly verified and attributed over time.
From our perspective, Infrastructure Ventures functions more as an ecosystem acceleration and onboarding partner, therefore evaluation may need to go beyond simply measuring how many projects have been deployed. The more important question is how much sustained impact those projects ultimately create for Rootstock individually and collectively. Given the original KPI of $500K+ TVL within 6 months, how far are we from that target today? And are there additional metrics being tracked alongside TVL, given that the Collective is moving toward FES-based evaluation?
Regarding the two currently deployed projects:
For Superstake, the current early-stage volume is understandable given the recent Rootstock integration. At the same time, since the team shared projections around 200K+ transactions and $300K+ on-chain volume within ~2.5 months, it would be useful to better understand the GTM and user acquisition strategy expected to drive those numbers, echoing @Tane earlier ask on GTM visibility.
For Peach Bitcoin, we’re still trying to better understand the integration flow and what specifically drives Rootstock usage here. From what we could see, Peach already supports Bitcoin mainnet and Liquid Network settlement. Could you clarify:
-
how many chains/networks Peach currently integrates with, and
-
whether users manually choose their settlement network or whether Peach routes automatically based on cost or liquidity conditions?
The reason we ask is because Rootstock here appears to be competing as a third settlement option, so understanding why users would specifically choose Rootstock becomes important when evaluating ecosystem impact.
Regarding the report section mentioning:
These are directionally positive, but under the newer V3.2 framework it would be important that these claims can also be verified through measurable indicators.
For example:
- If settlement layer usage is already happening on Rootstock, could the team share onchain proof of routing or settlement activity?
- If much of the activity currently happens off-chain before settlement, could the team share supporting off-chain metrics?
Without these, it’s harder for us to get a clear picture of where Peach Bitcoin’s Rootstock integration actually stands today.
