Bitcoin L2 Botanix Launches Mainnet with Chainlink, Fireblocks, and GMX
Botanix Labs, the team behind the Botanix Bitcoin Layer 2 announced the launch of the Botanix mainnet today, July 1, per a press release shared with The Defiant.
The mainnet is launching with integrations from some familiar faces such as Chainlink and Fireblocks on the infrastructure side, and GMX on the decentralized application (dApp) side.
The launch comes shortly after Botanix’s transition to an independent node-led governance and consensus mechanism, making the network a verifiably decentralized Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2). Some of these node operators include the likes of Galaxy, Fireblocks, and Alchemy. The operator set is made up of 16 node operators at launch, and aims to expand beyond 100 operators in 2026.
