Hi, @elmaestro, I have some experience with it and can share my 2 cents. Rootstock is an EVM fork, so you can use all the standard EVM tooling (Solidity for smart contracts & JS libraries for FE). They also have an additional set of tools called RIF, which brings additional stuff such as scaling solutions (zkSync). The biggest project on Rootstock right now is probably Sovryn, you can check them out. Whether it's interesting to use it or not fully depends IMHO on the use case you want to build. In my experience, blockchain is not needed for most use cases. At first, smart contracts may look like a nice technology stack coming with distributed compute infrastructure & other tooling, but they come at a cost – both tangible (gas fees) and intangible (security risks). So before starting to build, you need to challenge yourself whether blockchain is the best architecture, regardless of whether it's Rootstock or something else, and what are you trying to achieve that's not possible with P2P. Happy to further exchange ideas.
