TL;DR: New chains are coming thoon, BTC staking rewards are live, and we set a new record with $21 million in volume in a single day. A lot more happened — read on for the full rundown. 

gm gardeners! 🌸

January proved to be a really nice sequel to December. Garden also proved (once again) that it’s the most secure bridge out there, no middlemen, no unnecessary drama, unlike some other bridges... 👀

Canon Event

We hit $21m in volume in a single day — our highest ever! Totally not a coincidence that Bitcoin’s total supply is also 21m. Some things are just meant to be. 🌸

Big Items

• Fastest BTC bridge met the fastest L1 — yeah, you already know what we’re talking about… gmonad!
• We dropped a year in review blog, recapping an excellent year and everything we built along the way. [check it out here].

Technical Updates

• We’re actively working on adding support for more chains to let people bridge BTC seamlessly across major L1s and L2s. 
• The team spent a good amount of time in January working on $BTC staking rewards, which went live this week. 

Other Cool Stuff

• We ran a festive campaign in collaboration with our BTCfi frens, SatLayer, Bima and iBTC, giving away $1,000 in BTC to four lucky winners who participated in the campaign. Look at this reaction from one of the winners! 

• Channel your inner chef by spending more time cooking and less time bridging 👨‍🍳. Chopping veggies takes longer than swapping on base, we aren’t lying — watch this video.
• Here’s a super aesthetic vlog from our Garden run 2 at devcon ‘24 in Bangkok. 
• Just in case it wasn’t obvious, Garden is the safest way to bridge your assets. We have got the receipts.
