Another big project is coming!
Botanix, which received $11.5 million in financing support from top institutions such as Polychain and Placeholder, announced the mainnet launch and started the '2100: Bitcoin World Botanix Mainnet Event'. According to industry norms, the mainnet launch often means that TGE is imminent...
So, will you catch this last train?
1/ Ecosystem, ecosystem, still f***ing ecosystem
If you ask me, what is Botanix's core advantage compared to other Bitcoin L2s? My answer is: strong ecosystem + unique solution.
Ecosystem
Application layer:
In the application, Botanix has attracted many high-quality projects, many of which are familiar faces in the EVM ecosystem:
EVM ecosystem: Chainlink, GMX, Dolomite, etc.
Native applications: Bitzy, Arch, Artura, Rover, etc.
Additionally, the Aave community previously initiated a proposal to deploy Aave V3 on the Botanix Spiderchain, and there exists a significant possibility of migration in the future. For proposal details, see: https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-aave-v3-deployment-on-the-spiderchain-botanix-labs/19978
Node layer:
The Botanix founding node alliance is composed of 16 operators, including Galaxy (digital asset financial services company), Fireblocks (crypto custody company), Alchemy (blockchain development platform), Antpool (Bitcoin mining pool), UTXO Management (hedge fund management company), etc.
Botanix not only unites the backbone of the Bitcoin ecosystem but also attracts EVM ecosystem stars like GMX and Chainlink, which is indeed very convincing.
Unique solution
The technical core of Botanix consists of three major modules:
Spiderchain multi-signature network
PoS consensus mechanism
Fully EVM compatible
My personal understanding is that Botanix facilitates the migration of Bitcoin assets through a decentralized asset mapping solution and attracts developers to join through a fully EVM-compatible L2, finally solidifying Bitcoin assets through diversified DeFi opportunities in the ecosystem.
Botanix is also one of the few Bitcoin L2s that achieved decentralization on the first day of mainnet launch, using BTC as network gas consumption.
2/ 2100: Botanix mainnet event
The 2100 mainnet event will last for 6 weeks, with the core aim of attracting users interested in the Bitcoin ecosystem to experience the Botanix ecosystem. Currently, the benefits provided by the 2100 event include:
Airdrop eligibility for Botanix ecosystem projects
Bitcoin rewards
One unclear point is whether the airdrop of Botanix's native L2 token will consider users from this event. The official hasn't said, but it's advisable to be prepared, just in case.
Steps to ambush Botanix ecosystem project airdrop:
① Open the event link: https://2100abitcoinworld.com/
② Connect the wallet
③ Find the corresponding project building on the map (e.g., Arch)
④ Open the project official website and complete the task and interaction requirements
Other ecosystem projects follow suit.
Steps to unlock Bitcoin rewards:
① Open the event link: https://2100abitcoinworld.com/
② After connecting the wallet, find and open the The citadel (城堡) page at the top of the page
③ Complete the game to unlock Bitcoin rewards
The castle has a total of 4 games, including the decryption game 'Find Satoshi's Key', the lucky wheel, the lottery game 'Guess the Block Hash', and the daily sign-in game 'Sats Mining'. All these games require NFTs to enter.
I have access codes here, if anyone needs them, just DM me in the backend, first come, first served.
Lastly, participating in the event requires Botanix's gas, the official cross-chain bridge: https://bridge.botanixlabs.com/ (it is recommended to test with a small amount first).
Users who previously participated in the testnet have already received an airdrop of 2-10 U of BTC as gas, totaling over 40,000 addresses; you can check the address first. The official's operation this time is top-notch.
