Botanix is a fully equivalent Layer 2 EVM on Bitcoin. Botanix unites Bitcoin's market cap with Ethereum's dApp ecosystem, fusing the best of both worlds. Botanix is fully equivalent so your dApps will transfer seamlessly.

Welcome to the Botanix public testnet! Remember, since this is a testnet, the tokens have no real value. Happy testing!
P.S. Be sure to follow us on X @botanixlabs and join our community in Discord and Telegram.

Step 1 - Set up Metamask

Botanix is a fully equivalent EVM: it works with MetaMask right out of the box. If you're not familiar with MetaMask, get started here.

Automatically
Simply navigate to our Faucet or our Bridge and MetaMask will guide you through the process.

Manually

Network Name: Botanix Testnet
New RPC URL: https://node.botanixlabs.dev
Chain ID: 3636
Currency Symbol: BTC
Block Explorer URL: https://3xpl.com/botanix

If you need some pointers on how to connect your MetaMask to the Botanix Testnet, follow MetaMask's instructions here. We recommend using Google Chrome as we noticed some issues with Firefox.

Step 2 - Use Botanix Faucet

If you would like to test the Botanix network but don't have test Bitcoin to bridge, you can request some funds from our official Botanix Faucet.

Connect your MetaMask to the faucet. Follow the on-screen prompt after navigating to the faucet..
Request funds. Simply click the button and wait for your funds to arrive

Step 3 - Swap tokens and buy PEPE

Botanix is super easy to launch new, buy or swap tokens. Navigate to avocadoswap.io and buy some PEPE tokens using the following address:

Are you expriencing high gas fees? Manually lower them in MetaMask and your transaction will still go through!

Step 4 - Bridge funds

Want more testnet Bitcoin? In case you already own some Signet BTC in a wallet, you can easily bridge them onto Botanix using the official Botanix Bridge. If you don't own any Signet BTC but still want to try the testnet, you can get some Signet BTC on one of the following faucets:

You send the Signet BTC to your bitcoin wallet. Next, you simply connect your MetaMask to the Botanix Testnet and follow the on-screen instructions to generate a deposit address. Using the deposit address, you can easily send Signet BTC from your bitcoin wallet to your Botanix wallet.
