In a fresh twist to the ongoing exploration of sidechain possibilities, Botanix Labs recently released a proposal for Spiderchain, a new layer 2 protocol for Bitcoin. With the community’s attention largely directed towards Drivechains, Jameson Lopp, a Bitcoin OG, dives into the intricacies of the Spiderchain system in his recent blog post. Here’s an in-depth look at the proposal and its implications for the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems.
Why Spiderchain?
In Lopp’s analysis of the Botanix whitepaper, he notes that while there are many proposals geared towards enhancing Bitcoin’s Layer 2 capabilities, such as drivechains, zero knowledge rollups, and validity rollups, Spiderchain distinguishes itself by being immediately implementable on the existing Bitcoin protocol. This is without necessitating any changes to the foundational layer of the blockchain.
Botanix’s motivation stems from Ethereum’s meteoric rise in decentralized finance applications, most of which remain inacce
