so structurally and algorithmically this RSK is still a fraction of bitcoin? or is it really different from bitcoin in terms of the RSK technology itself.
Or is it a token that adopts blockchain technology?

Or is it a token that adopts blockchain technology?

RSK is a sidechain secured by the bitcoin network, it is a smartchain that supports smart contracts unlike bitcoin. One small snippet I'll paste below expands a bit more on the usability and capabilities of the smarcontracts built on RSK, here:

The RSK network is highly compatible with the Ethereum network at various different layers: the execution virtual machine (EVM), the javascript programming interface (web3), node interprocess connectivity (JSON-RPC), and the smart-contract programming languages (Solidity).
RSKVM is highly compatible with the  EVM, but the RSKVM offers additional features not present in the EVM. To make use of these improvements, some changes to the smart contract source code are required. Furthermore, the RSKVM has specific precompiled contracts that provide the bridging functionality with Bitcoin. Approximately once a year, the Ethereum community performs a hard-fork to add new functionality. The RSK community has, in the past, incorporated these changes through corresponding hard forks on the RSK network. These trends are expected to continue in the future.

Where is the link of partners of RSK? I couldn't find it anymore. There was a link from your website directing to your partners before. Or is it now under use cases section?

I hope you will realize the charity aspect of your platform and not just like any others who just mentioned charity but they didn't actually do anything about it.
