## About Botanix

Botanix is a Layer 2 protocol built on Bitcoin that enables users to access decentralized applications directly on the Bitcoin network. This includes decentralized exchanges (DEXs), lending and borrowing protocols, NFT marketplaces, and other DeFi applications. While these capabilities have long been available on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains, Botanix Labs is bringing this functionality to Bitcoin through the Botanix protocol.
