gm gardeners! 🌸
September delivered a 17% volume bump and 22% order increase compared to August. We processed $115,939,987 in volume from 5,840 orders. Here's what happened in the garden this month.
Canon Event
You can now swap your Bitcoin to BNB, USDC, or BTCB on BNB Chain and bring it back to native BTC in 30 seconds flat. To our surprise, BNB Chain secured a place in the top 5 chains by volume in its debut month itself!
Users can swap native $BTC with $BNB, now live on @garden_finance 🤩

Big Items
- We hosted Multichain Day with Wrapped, a mini-conference for projects building cross-chain infrastructure around TOKEN2049 week.
- GIP-003 passed with 98% approval. SEED stakers will soon be able to choose their staking rewards: cbBTC, native BTC, or more SEED. We're working on implementing this update.
- Garden routes went live on Clypto DEX. Another aggregator, another way to skip the bridge suffering.
- Core is officially supported. Bridge your assets from 13+ chains including native Bitcoin straight to WBTC on Core. lstBTC support coming as promised.
- dKit users can now access Garden routes through their SDK. That's 6,000+ tokens across 19+ chains now connected to Bitcoin.
- Here are the top chains by volume for September (excluding Bitcoin):
Technical Updates
- Optimized our RPC proxy to reduce RPC failures.
- Multi-solver system is in the works, which will let any gardener run their own solver and join the network.

Bitcoin is the most liquid asset in crypto, but you don’t see much of it in DeFi. That’s because most user simply HODL Bitcoin.
Data on centralized exchanges tells a different story. There’s tens of billions of Bitcoin traded… pic.twitter.com/Q4UycEicky
- It has been a little over a month since we launched stablecoin support with USDC, and the total volume across all chains stands at $61,333,774, indicating strong demand for stablecoins. Support for more stablecoins coming soon.
- Jaz wrote about how Garden is poised to take on traditional bridges which are struggling with slow governance, technical complexity, and liquidity issues. Garden uses intents and solvers for instant multichain support, already moving nearly $2B.
- Apart from Multichain Day, we hosted a midnight Chinatown hawker centre crawl during TOKEN2049, hitting our team's favorite food spots.
