Runes don’t ruin Bitcoin. They’re the cleanest way to handle tokens as UTXO natives. With Rosen, that opens the door for real cross chain access... wrapped assets that move cleanly on Bitcoin and back.

WEEKLY COMMUNITY CHAT

Last week's Community Chat was fantastic — we really appreciated everyone who joined us! 🎉

This Thursday brings us another Community Chat session, continuing this format that has replaced our traditional Weekly Update and AMA. We'll kick things off with #developer updates this week, followed by an open discussion format.

We welcome all community members to join in — the event will be broadcast live on YouTube while the call is hosted on Zoom, offering you the choice to engage via video, audio only, or through the live chat. (The Zoom link will be available in the YouTube video description).

Date: Thursday 2nd October Time: 13:00 UTC

See you there ergonauts!

Runes give Bitcoin a clean, UTXO-native token layer. Rosen Bridge brings a cross-chain control plane with Watchers and Guards. Put them together and you get wrapped assets that live on #Bitcoin as #Runes, travel across chains, and redeem back through verifiable flows.

🔸 First demo with ADA, funded by Cardano Catalyst, proved the full loop by locking on Cardano and minting a Rune on Bitcoin with Rosen metadata.

This isn’t a science project. It’s a #bridge design that traders, devs, and DAOs can use today.
