Botanix

Botanix API is available on Web3 API platform.

Botanix is a decentralized Turing-complete Layer 2 EVM built on the native currency of bitcoin. It operates using two core components:

Ethereum Virtual Machine: Fortified by a Proof-of-Stake consensus protocol that leverages Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work for superior security. Stakes are represented by actual bitcoin stored securely within multi-signature wallets on the Bitcoin network. By supporting EVM, Botanix allows developers to seamlessly port existing Ethereum dApps to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Spiderchain Protocol: At the core of Botanix is the Spiderchain, a series of successive multisignature (multisig) wallets managed by randomized sets of orchestrators. This structure secures user funds and facilitates the movement of Bitcoin within the network, effectively separating Bitcoin "the asset" from Bitcoin "the blockchain." By securing the Bitcoin present on Botanix in a decentralized chain of multisigs, it separates Bitcoin from the EVM. This allows for a transition from Bitcoin’s UTXO model to an account model used in the EVM.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Botanix — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Botanix node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
