July was another busy month of Spiderchain Summer!

As Botanix Labs prepares for mainnet launch later this year, more partners are joining to build a strong and dynamic network of users and builders. Botanix Labs and its collaborators recognize that a thriving ecosystem is rooted in collaboration. Each of these recent partnerships are paving the way for a stronger and more diverse future for the Spiderchain ecosystem. Read on for an overview of each new partner.

Avalon Labs

For most of the past year, the Avalon Labs team has been building the hub for liquid staking derivatives (LSDs) and “CeDeFi” lending with over 70,000 active wallets. Lending markets for assets like stablecoins are an essential part of any durable Bitcoin ecosystem. Botanix Labs is excited to work with Avalon Labs through a strategic partnership that will expand their borrowing and lending protocol from Ethereum to Bitcoin users in the Spiderchain ecosystem.

Ankr Network

Since early 2018, the Ankr team has worked to build a full suite of developer tools to support every builder with fast, global, decentralized connections to dozens of chains. Crypto trends have changed a lot since Ankr’s launch, and the team has continued to adapt to meet new needs from all developers. Bitcoin-native dApps need robust tooling, and Ankr is focused on providing this. Botanix Labs is excited to work with the Ankr team to bring additional accessibility, scalability, and reliability to Bitcoin builders and users in the Spiderchain ecosystem.

Spindle Finance

Spindle is a lending and borrowing liquidity protocol that is set to go live on Day 1 of the Spiderchain mainnet. As a Bitcoin-native team building on the Spiderchain, the Spindle team demonstrates their understanding of the importance of having lending and borrowing markets available to Bitcoin users on the Spiderchain. Botanix Labs is excited to work with Spindle to make this happen. Together, both teams will bring better yield with safer vaults and automated smart contracts to Bitcoin.

Runes Terminal

The entire narrative behind “Bitcoin Season 2” has been fueled by inscriptions, BRC-20s, and runes. Runes especially offer a unique approach to expand the utility, userbase and developer activity of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Botanix Labs believe this shouldn’t stay relegated to the base layer though, which is why Runes Terminal and Botanix Labs have partnered to combine the strengths of their platform and the Spiderchain protocol to create a seamless and secure experience for Runes enjoyers on Bitcoin’s second layer. Runes Terminal is the infrastructure provider on the Runes Protocol.

Tomo

Social applications are an increasingly important part of every decentralized finance ecosystem. Tomo, the all-in-one social wallet, allows users to log in effortlessly with their social accounts, and it supports multiple chains, with a particular emphasis on Bitcoin. Botanix Labs is excited to work with the Tomo team to bring their all-in-one social wallet to Bitcoin so anyone in the Spiderchain ecosystem can use their social capital to connect, create, and earn.

Rune Mine

Since their launch in early 2024, the Rune Mine team is focused on scaling the runes sector of the Bitcoin economy in a variety of ways, including bridging to second layers like the Spiderchain. Rune Mine believes there's a better, more fun way to experience Bitcoin, and their runes tooling is part of it. Botanix Labs is excited to bring runes to the Spiderchain through a partnership with Rune Mine that will expand and improve the entire runes experience.

**Looking to the Future... **

Even during the dog days of summer, the Spiderchain community continues growing. Each of the new partnerships and integrations explained in this post from July are laying a strong foundation for the upcoming launch of the Spiderchain. Bitcoin needs a robust, native ecosystem of builders and founders. Botanix Labs invites everyone to join us as we build together.
