Botanix’s Bitcoin Layer-2 Mainnet Goes Live—Promising True Decentralization From Day One
Bitcoin just got a speed upgrade—without the usual trade-offs.
Botanix rolls out its Layer-2 mainnet, pledging full decentralization from the first block. No 'transition period,' no corporate backdoors—just a public ledger that actually lives up to the hype.
Why it matters: While Wall Street's permissioned chains keep pretending they're 'Web3,' this launch forces the question: Who needs middlemen when math does the job better?
The cynical take: Expect VC-funded 'competitors' to suddenly discover the virtues of decentralization now that their lunch is getting eaten.
