RC V10.0 Release Note

Summary

TL;DR: The Rootstock Collective Foundation is pleased to announce V10.0, which establishes the Bitcoin Vault Sandbox User Experience.

Building on recent improvements in V9.0, V10.0 also enhances the USDT0 swapper with access to more Oku pools and a trial of the Envio indexer.

Community Benefits

  • BTC Vault Sandbox - in order to grow and evolve the ecosystem through broader use of rBTC RootstockLabs is exploring new tools to connect protocols and interoperate with rBTC as an extension to previous proposal. As such, the RootstockCollective dApp will be used as a prototype entry point for one such tool using Async Vaults mechanics to explore future possibilities.

This will provide an initial User Experience playground to help learn and understand how Async Vaults and related mechanics can interact with other protocols in the Rootstock ecosystem for the good of the community.

Prototype testers will be able to deposit rBTC to earn test yield through predefined on-chain rules, explore how vault shares appreciate over time, and do so safely within Sandbox test limits.

By supporting this proposal, the RootstockCollective plays a role to help accelerate the efforts of RootstockLabs providing early access with clarity and control, better ecosystem readiness, improved understanding of Async Bitcoin Vault mechanics, and a collaborative pathway between RootstockLabs, developers, builders and the community.

  • USD Vault Sandbox USDT0 Swapper - better access to liquidity on the Uniswap Oku pools has been added to the embedded swapper allowing larger amounts to be swapped between USDT0 and USDRIF as part of the USD Sandbox experience…

  • Usability - in order to provide a resilient mechanism for querying on chain data we are trialing the Envio indexer for proposal queries. This should help give more stable and usable experiences when viewing proposals.

  • Builder engagement - COMING SOON: the Rootcamp community will be enabled soon in the dApp as a “Club” and a new NFT will be mintable for those that graduated the recent Rootcamp. This will be enabled as a follow-on part of this release.

Thanks for the update, @eleanor. Good to see the BTC Vault Sandbox ship alongside the Oku pool expansion for USDT0.

The timing here is worth noting. @Raphael_Anode’s harmonica synthesis from the sensemaking session specifically asks Labs to clarify what it considers “utility-driven” mechanisms (fixed-rate lending, institutional lockups, gamified savings) and how TVL should transition from yield farming to real economic activity. The BTC Vault Sandbox is a direct answer to part of that: Labs is investing in async vault mechanics as foundational infrastructure for rBTC yield. That’s a useful signal for delegates evaluating grants in this space.

What we find interesting is how this connects to several active proposals. Excellar (xlBTC) is building yield-bearing Bitcoin with institutional backing. TYKORA is routing stablecoin deposits through Tropykus via prize vaults. Boveda is building Safe Apps for institutional multisig DeFi access. All of these would benefit from, or eventually plug into, vault infrastructure like this. The synthesis also proposed a technical whitelist of core primitives that grantees should integrate. Async vaults could be a candidate for that list once the sandbox validates the mechanics.

One question: is there a plan for how third-party protocols will integrate with the async vault framework after the sandbox phase? The USD vault already identified Tropykus and Avalon as yield sources. For the BTC side, understanding the integration pathway early would help grantees design for compatibility rather than retrofitting later.
