Botanix, Layer 2 Bitcoin, Closes Down After Less Than a Year
Botanix, a Bitcoin Layer 2 project backed by Polychain Capital, is shutting down due to lack of users and revenue. The platform, launched in July 2025, struggled to attract users, with network fees failing to cover infrastructure costs. This mirrors challenges faced by other Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions like Stacks and Ordi, as users opt for Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem, often via wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC).
