Botanix is the first fully decentralized Layer 2 EVM on Bitcoin, combining the security and decentralization of Bitcoin with the ease and versatility of EVM.
Botanix Labs wants to build infrastructure to transform Bitcoin from the best money ever made to the programmable layer that will serve as the basis for the future of finance. there approach is to build the first fully decentralized EVM-equivalent Layer 2 on Bitcoin, where the ease and versatility of EVM meets the decentralization and security of Bitcoin.
Leveraging Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work (PoW) as a Layer 1 for base settlement and decentralization, Botanix will use a Proof-of-Stake consensus model, where the stakes (represented by bitcoin) are securely stored on the Spiderchain, a distributed network of decentralized multisigs safeguarded by a randomized subset of participants. You will be able to stake your bitcoin on Bitcoin.
The Botanix Labs testnet is just released and they added some quests!

Want more testnet Bitcoin? In case you already own some Signet BTC in a wallet, you can easily bridge them onto Botanix using the official Botanix Bridge.
– Download a bitcoin wallet that supports the Signet testnet.
– We used the Sparrow Wallet, download it here: https://sparrowwallet.com/download/
– If you already have a bitcoin wallet with signet testnet, you can continue with that wallet.
– If you don’t own any Signet BTC but still want to try the testnet, you can get some Signet BTC on one of the following faucets:
https://signetfaucet.com/
https://alt.signetfaucet.com/
https://signetfaucet.bublina.eu.org/
– Next, you simply connect your MetaMask to the Botanix Testnet and follow the on-screen instructions to generate a deposit address.
