Federation and decentralization model

Data block

Collection item

Botanix Labs established a validator federation to ensure decentralization from the start, removing its own operational control and enabling shared governance by multiple independent entities.
Botanix evaluated over 50 candidates for validator roles and selected 16 based on security standards, technical performance, and global distribution, with many lacking prior ties to the team.
Botanix plans to evolve its governance structure into a dynamic federation that supports hundreds of validators, eventually allowing global public participation.
Botanix’s founding federation includes 16 globally distributed organizations such as Galaxy, Fireblocks, Alchemy, Kiln, Antpool, XBTO, and UTXO Management, chosen for their technical strength and decentralization alignment.
Galaxy Digital and Fireblocks are among the 16 entities selected as initial node operators for the Botanix Layer 2 network on Bitcoin.
