As the community continues expanding and the protocol continues evolving, more partners are being onboarded to create a robust and active network of builders and supporters. Botanix Labs and all of its partners understand that a successful ecosystem starts with collaboration. All of the recently announced partnerships with Botanix Labs set the future of the Spiderchain ecosystem to be stronger and more diverse than ever. Keep reading this post for an overview of each new addition.
Owlto Finance
Since its mainnet launch in June 2023, the Owlto team has become the premier blockchain interoperability protocol.

Both teams at Owlto Finance and Botanix Labs understand that bootstrapping a new decentralized finance ecosystem on Bitcoin requires integrating these industry-leading interoperability tools. Botanix Labs is excited to have completed the integration of Owlto’s bridge with the Spiderchain testnet ahead of mainnet launch.
