The decentralized Bitcoin Layer 2 network Botanix announces the official launch of its final testnet, Aragog. Aragog is built on cryptographic technologies such as FROST signatures, operating on decentralized sequencers and geographically distributed full nodes, using Bitcoin as the token and settlement layer. The Botanix team stated that Aragog will be the 'final step' before the mainnet launch in the first quarter of 2025. Botanix focuses on building a Layer 2 network for Bitcoin-native DeFi, aiming to transform Bitcoin into the infrastructure for global decentralized finance. Currently, Botanix has partnered with several blockchain infrastructure providers, including Chainlink, Ankr, and Graph Protocol.
