RSK Smart Contract Platform is a side-chain to the main Bitcoin network which means that it does not drain power from the Bitcoin network. The RSK blockchain is connected to the Bitcoin blockchain via a 2-way peg. RSK smart contracts are already being used for numerous purposes, courtesy of the level of confidence they enjoy among large enterprises and government regulators. The platform uses RIF Lumino Network, the first off-chain state channel network launched on RSK, which enables users to freely interact with other cross-blockchain networks such as the Lightning Network and Raiden Network.
