Rome Scales Bitcoin

Describes Rome’s bridge to Bitcoin, primary focus on scalability with secondary interop, and atomic composability for Rome-based Bitcoin L2s

• Bitcoin: Connected to Rome stack via bridge that facilitates asset transfers

• Rome Stack: Facilitates operations with two key aspects:

  • Scalability (Primary): Enhances transaction capacity using the Rome Stack

  • Interop (Secondary): Enables cross-chain interoperability, particularly with Solana

• Composability:

  • For Rome Bitcoin L2s: Provides atomic composability, ensuring transactions are completely executed or not at all, enhancing reliability

  • For Non-Rome Bitcoin L2s: Offers async composability, allowing integration but without atomic guarantees

• Settlement on L1: Guarantees the final settlement and security of transactions on a primary Layer 1 blockchain
