Act 2: Testnet is Live 🌸

gm gardeners 🧑‍🌾

Garden is now the fastest Bitcoin bridge in the market and we welcome you all as the curtain rises on our defining act.

act 2 testnet is officially live!

What’s in it?

All the ingredients for a seamless experience that makes you spend less time bridging, and more time trading, running, cycling, cooking, or crypto-pilling the Walmart cashier.

Here's the testnet rundown:

• btc ⇔ stables and more: Native atomic swaps are now live for stables and major assets like ETH and SOL. We’re also tracking the top BTC trading pairs to roll out more swap options soon.
• one-click swaps: Bridging between EVM and BTC is now just one click and takes 30 seconds—10x faster than competitors like Thorswap and Chainflip (which take 15–30 minutes for <1 BTC). Unlike others, Garden maintains the same speed for any swap size and eliminates slippage completely.
• more chains, more wallets: We are expanding support for additional EVM chains like Base (now live), with support for Solana, one of the most exciting non-EVM chains, coming soon. Also, users can now connect both EVM (live) and BTC (soon) wallets without copy-pasting addresses, enabling smooth and hassle-free bridging.
• a fresh new look: We’ve given garden a sleeker design that's easier on the eyes and smoother to use.

That's not all for act 2, we have more features lined up for the mainnet release:

• garden SDK: The SDK will enable developers to integrate Bitcoin natively into their dApps. This abstracts away the bridging part, giving end-users a seamless experience.
• staking rewards in Bitcoin: Stake SEED to earn a share of platform fees in native BTC, a feature voted by our community. Passive income in Bitcoin, straight to your wallet!
