The Garden Monthly: June 2025
TL;DR: SEED bridging from Arbitrum to Ethereum went from 6 days to seconds, Corn chain joined the garden, and docs got a major glow-up for integrators.

Hey gardeners! 🌸

June wrapped up with $152,206,458 in swap volume across 3,751 orders. Not our biggest month on paper, but definitely a good one. We spent less time chasing numbers and more time building things you asked for. Here's the June rundown.

Canon Event

Remember waiting 6 days to bridge SEED from Arbitrum to Ethereum? Yeah, neither do we anymore. Garden now supports native SEED swaps, cutting that painful week-long wait down to seconds. Free, fast, and about 17,280x better than the official bridge. You're welcome.

Big Items

  • Corn chain is live on Garden. Bridge your assets from any supported chain to BTCN on Corn and chase those yield opportunities.
  • The swap interface got a fresh update with a new chain & asset modal. Chain logos replaced text names for easier selection, and your available balance now shows directly in the swap modal. One less click, one less headache.
  • Added support for Ready Wallet (formerly Argent X). Another wallet, another way to access the Garden.
  • Wondering which chains are moving the most volume? Check out our top 5 chains by volume for June.

Technical Updates

  • Migrated developer docs to Mintlify, now devs can test API endpoints directly in the browser without spinning up code. Less setup, more building.
  • Rolled out integrator-specific API keys so partners can track their orders easily. Affiliate fee management through API keys coming thoon.
  • Integrators can now skip providing secret hashes during order creation if they don't want to manage user secrets. The redeems are automated for these orders, as soon as the solver initiates on the destination chain, redemption happens automatically.
  • Launched a new endpoint for order creation that streamlines the entire process. Users no longer need to poll getOrder to confirm matching; the new endpoint returns the complete matched order object right away.

Other Cool Stuff

  • Jaz spoke at the interop/acc event in Berlin (hosted by LI.FI) about Bitcoin's evolving role in the multi-chain future and how interoperability is key to unlocking its potential.
  • 1,230 new wallets discovered Garden in the last 30 days. That's 41 fresh gardeners daily choosing speed over suffering.
  • $95,960 distributed to SEED stakers from fees collected in June.
