Rootstock DEX
The best DEXes on Rootstock, in one place. Oku compares Rootstock's DEX liquidity in real time and routes your trade through the cheapest path, with no extra fees.
What is a DEX on Rootstock?
A decentralized exchange (DEX) lets you trade tokens on Rootstock directly from your wallet, with no account, no custody, and no middleman. Rootstock's DEX liquidity includes Uniswap and other onchain venues. Prices and depth differ from one venue to the next, so the best price isn't always in the same place. Oku aggregates Rootstock's DEX liquidity into a single interface: you enter a trade once, and Oku routes it for the best execution. You get the best price on Rootstock without checking venues yourself, and Oku charges 0% fees on top.

What is Rootstock?
Rootstock (RSK) is the longest-running Bitcoin sidechain supporting EVM-compatible smart contracts, live since 2018. It uses merge-mining with Bitcoin, meaning Bitcoin miners secure Rootstock simultaneously without additional energy cost, anchoring the chain's security to Bitcoin's hashrate. The native gas token is RBTC, a 1:1-pegged representation of BTC — so using Rootstock means spending Bitcoin on smart contract execution, an unusual and appealing property for Bitcoin-native users. The ecosystem includes Sovryn (a Bitcoin-native DEX and lending platform), Money on Chain, and a growing set of DeFi primitives focused on productive BTC. For holders of Bitcoin who want EVM smart contract functionality without exposure to separate L1 security assumptions, Rootstock is one of the most established options available.
