Botanix, a Bitcoin layer-2 network, has announced it is permanently shutting down. If you hold any assets on the Botanix Spiderchain through Edge, you must withdraw them back to Bitcoin mainnet before July 1, 2026.
What's happening?
Botanix Labs is winding down operations after finding insufficient demand for programmable Bitcoin. The Spiderchain network will be fully offline by August 1, 2026.
Key dates -
July 1, 2026 — Withdraw your assets by this date
July 15, 2026 — Grace period (if announced by July 1)
August 1, 2026 — Final network shutdown. Assets remaining on-chain after this date may be unrecoverable.

What happens if you miss the deadline?
