The first decentralized Bitcoin L2, powering the Bitcoin Economy. Discord: https://discord.gg/botanixlabs
The Bitcoin economy starts today. Mainnet is live: decentralized, EVM-equivalent, built on Bitcoin. Now you can: - Pay (with Lightning) - Trade - Lend and borrow - Stake - Leverage All with bitcoin on Bitcoin in a growing ecosystem of applications: GMX Dolomite Arch Bitzy Palladium Rover Artura LnfiNetwork Try them on Bitcoin 2100, an immersive experience where you explore a city that runs on Bitcoin with OKX Wallet as our official partner. Stay tuned for more! And if you're part of the Botanix community, you can access the VIP area to earn real BTC today: But first, start by bridging bitcoin to Botanix: 1. Canonical bridge → 2. Lightning bridge via Astralabs → https://tinyurl.com/botanixlightning 3. Atomic swap via Garden finance → Botanix is built for scale: $0.001 tx fees, 5 second finality Botanix is the first EVM-equivalent Bitcoin L2 that is decentralized from day one. No single entity (not even Botanix) can control the network: it's operated by a growing federation of trusted node partners: Fireblocks Galaxy Alchemy XBTO AntPool UTXOmanagement Luganodes Kiln ChorusOne BlockPI 0xundefined_ Daic capital PierTwo Stakin HashKeyCloud Vertex Botanix is proud to partner with world-class infrastructure providers: Chainlink Fireblocks Ankr Graphprotocol Alchemy Safe LayerZero Routescan Gelato network Building the best Day 1 Bitcoin-native user experience, for users and builders alike.

Botanix is building the first decentralized Bitcoin L2, with security as its foundational pillar. That’s why we hired Sigma Prime to conduct a full audit of our protocol stack. They reviewed the most critical components powering Botanix: • Mint & burn mechanics • BTC signing server • stBTC vault • Consensus and DKG layers Both Rust and Solidity codebases were examined in depth. This wasn’t just a scan. Sigma Prime combined deep manual review with advanced tooling like: • Slither • Mythril • Clippy • Aderyn Focus areas included logic flaws, validation paths, panic surfaces, and economic risk vectors. 34 issues were identified: • 10 Critical • 10 High • 3 Medium • 5 Low • 6 Informational All issues have been fully resolved All were addressed through protocol-level improvements, not just patches. Check the whole audit report: We’re not just building fast. We're building transparently, because security is something you prove, not declare. image
Decentralized at Day One. We're excited to announce our Founding Federation of 16 independent node operators, comprised of some of the most respected Bitcoin miners, custodians, validators and strategic partners. Botanix, Fireblocks, Galaxy, Alchemy, XBTO, ANTPOOL Technologies Pte. Ltd., UTXO Management, Kiln, Chorus One, BlockPI, DAIC Capital, Pier Two, Stakin, Vertex Protocol, stakefish, HashKey Group This means that starting now, no single party—not even Botanix—can unilaterally influence or censor the network. All changes, upgrades, and operational execution will be coordinated across 16 independent entities, geographically spread around the world. Why this matters: - High availability and uptime - Censorship-resistance through decentralization These federation members are not just figureheads, they’re the ones running the Spiderchain: signing FROST multisigs, verifying chain state, operating the sequencer rotation. The Founding Federation is just the beginning. The network will soon migrate to a dynamic federation to support hundreds of nodes, with the eventual goal of allowing anyone in the world to run their own Botanix node, achieving permissionlessness. Botanix isn’t just building on Bitcoin. It's building with Bitcoin’s principles at its core: - Self-custody - Open participation - Global fault tolerance Mainnet is coming. But the future is already decentralized. Read more: https://www.theblock.co/post/357020/antpool-fireblocks-galaxy-botanix-validator-federation-bitcoin-layer-2
Crypto’s next chapter won’t be written on altcoins. It’ll be built on Bitcoin, by everybody, for everyone.

Botanix Labs is now Botanix. Not just a new logo: a renewed sense of urgency to make Bitcoin the most productive asset in the world. Let's make Bitcoin money again. Welcome to Botanix. Welcome to the Bitcoin Economy.
All L2s aren't the same. Most "L2s" aren’t really L2s. Botanix is simply built different.
This is what opportunity looks like: That’s why there’s so much good work being done on scaling Bitcoin. image
A new wave of devs is rediscovering Bitcoin. But what layer should you build on and why is it Botanix? 🧵 Botanix is a network for using native BTC with onchain apps. No new tokens. No forks. No gimmicks. It’s a great place to build for various reasons: ✅Reason 1: Lindy Stack Bitcoin is the most Lindy monetary system. EVM is the most Lindy smart contract environment. Botanix fuses both. ✅Reason 2: Familiar Architecture If you’ve built on Lightning, Botanix feels intuitive. It uses multisigs (like Lightning) and works with Bitcoin Core. If you’ve built on Ethereum, Botanix feels intuitive. It’s EVM-compatible and supports Solidity frameworks. ✅Reason 3: Forward Security Each Botanix block refreshes keys via randomized multisigs. If one is compromised, past blocks remain secure. It’s a cryptographic principle called forward security—rare in crypto, critical for L2s. ✅Reason 4: Onboarding the World By enabling EVM apps on Bitcoin, Botanix lowers barriers for devs and users alike. Builders can port dApps. Users don’t need to change habits. Read more on the Botanix blog:
All multisigs are not decentralized. Only decentralized multisigs are decentralized.

It’s easy to claim decentralization but it’s hard to prove censorship-resistance. Bitcoin is the only network whose censorship-resistance is proven.
"If you're familiar with AAVE, it's by far one of the largest applications within Ethereum. We're the first Bitcoin chain that they decided to support publicly, pre-mainnet, which is really exciting. So we're working with that team, and it's really important to have partners like AAVE onboard because Bitcoiners like the fact that it's battle-tested code — they have a track record. So on day one on the Spiderchain, you'll be able to use your Bitcoin as collateral..." - Alisia Painter answering to Rachel on Web3 Deep Dive
