SpiderHack, the inaugural Spiderchain hackathon event aimed at fostering innovation in EVM dApps on Botanix, the pioneering EVM-equivalent Layer 2 solution running on Bitcoin, has been a resounding success. It's truly impressive to note that over 60 teams dedicated their efforts to developing innovative Bitcoin dApps, all vying for a share of the $50,000 prize pool! Without further ado, let's take a look at the finalists!
🥇 First Prize
Botanix Lightning Network Trustless Bridge
BUIDL link: https://dorahacks.io/buidl/10864
This is a project to create a trust minimized bridge between Botanix and the Lightning Network. The goal is to allow for the creation of smart contracts that can make trust minimized payments to the Lightning Network. This really only makes sense in the context of chains using Bitcoin as their native currency, but it could be extended to other chains as well. The project includes smart contracts with tests, a frontend, and a Lightning Service Provider (LSP) server which facilitates the lightning payments.
🥈 Second Prize
