Rootstock Prepares Reed Upgrade and Launch of Union Bridge
Rootstock introduces the upcoming Reed Network Upgrade, which cuts BTC withdrawal costs by 60%, expands PowPeg pegnatories from 9 to 20 for stronger decentralization, and prepares the ground for the Union Bridge, a BitVMX-powered, trust-minimized bridge enabling verifiable and programmable Bitcoin transfers.

Reed NetworkUpgrade
The Reed Network Upgrade is more than a technical milestone, it’s a strategic leap toward greater security, decentralization, and stronger guarantees for Bitcoin assets moving between Bitcoin and Rootstock. By allowing for an increased number of PowPeg pegnatories, Reed enhances the resilience of Rootstock’s two-way bridge, reducing reliance on any single entity and reinforcing the trust-minimized foundation of the network.
