Share a heavyweight Alpha (act fast): Bitcoin L2 @BotanixLabs launches "hard yield" Bitcoin product stBTC
Yield: 50% network fee sharing (transparent) + airdrop expectations
Botanix is one of the most "solid" Bitcoin L2s in my eyes.
Botanix Labs has raised a total of $11.5 million, with investors including Polychain Capital, Placeholder Ventures, and other top VCs in the crypto space.
The node operators are also a luxurious lineup:
Galaxy (a company under Mike Novogratz)
Fireblocks (a custody giant valued at $8 billion)
Alchemy (a top global blockchain development platform)
Antpool (the second largest Bitcoin mining pool in the world)
Core highlight: real yield
Traditional yield-bearing tokens rely either on inflation or mining subsidies, which essentially means the sheep are paying for it. But stBTC is different; its yield comes from 50% of the fees generated by the Botanix network — this is cash flow generated from real economic activity.
The mechanism is simple:
Deposit BTC → Receive stBTC → Automatically share network fees → Withdraw more BTC
From the data, early users can enjoy a high yield rate of over 50%, which will gradually stabilize around 6% as the scale increases.
What's even more interesting is the application scenarios. stBTC can be used in protocols like GMX, Blend, and Dolomite, supporting collateralized lending with yield-bearing Bitcoin. This transforms Bitcoin from "digital gold" into "yield-generating assets."
Timeline:
Genesis vault opens on September 18, with an initial limit of $5 million
In 5 days, it will be directly increased to $30 million
Overall, stBTC indeed offers a relatively reliable Bitcoin appreciation plan. For those who are unwilling to sell BTC but wish to gain additional yield, this is an innovative product worth paying attention to.
Of course, participation also comes with potential airdrop expectations — as a flagship product of the Botanix mainnet, early users have a good chance of receiving an airdrop.
