We’re thrilled to announce that Garden – a bridge for BTC-native liquidity – is now live on Starknet. This launch creates a direct, streamlined path for Bitcoin to flow into Starknet, focusing on speed, low fees, and minimal trust assumptions.
What Sets Garden Apart
Garden’s integration with Starknet makes it easy for Bitcoin holders to access Starknet while keeping control of their assets. At the same time, it allows developers and DeFi protocols to tap into BTC liquidity, unlocking new possibilities for apps and flows across the Starknet ecosystem. Sending BTC to Starknet is now straightforward, whether using a crypto wallet like Argent or swapping directly on Garden. The entire process is simplified with a real-time system that finds the best route for your transaction, keeping costs low and execution fast, even for larger trades. On Garden, swap BTC, USDC, WBTC, cbBTC, and more from Bitcoin, Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, Berachain, and Hyperliquid to Starknet in a single click.
Bridge BTC to Starknet →More About Starknet
Starknet is a general-purpose L2 ZK-Rollup that operates above Ethereum and allows users to write and deploy smart contracts and interact with other contracts. Starknet produces bundled transactions offchain via STARK proofs, which are then submitted to Ethereum as a single transaction, allowing dApps to scale while benefiting from Ethereum’s security features massively. Starknet will be the first L2 to settle on both Bitcoin and Ethereum, unifying the two largest blockchains on a single layer. As an L2 on top of Bitcoin, Starknet will become Bitcoin’s execution layer, to trustlessly scale Bitcoin to thousands of transactions per second (TPS).
Explore Starknet’s vision and roadmap to see how this aligns with broader ecosystem growth. If you’re deep into Bitcoin, building the next wave of DeFi, or just excited about where Ethereum is heading, now’s the time to plug in and bridge BTC to Starknet.
