Botanix launches an innovative mechanism to prevent Double Spending on the Bitcoin Layer 2 network.

According to Gate News bot, the Bitcoin layer-2 network Botanix has launched a technological solution to prevent Double Spending. This solution is based on the Spiderchain federated attestation Bitcoin chain, utilizing a rotating multisignature Wallet structure to manage the flow of funds. Currently, a 2-of-3 signature mechanism is implemented, with plans to upgrade to a 12-of-16 signature mechanism in the future. The system requires that the deposit (peg-in) and the withdrawal (peg-out) operations must be signed by the majority coordinator. Based on the Bitcoin UTXO model, Botanix has designed a "collision input mechanism" where each peg-out transaction needs to reference the previous output as input. Transactions that reuse the same UTXO will be rejected by the network. This mechanism combines the staking penalty mechanism of PoS consensus to ensure the secure two-way bridging of cross-chain assets at both the technical and incentive levels. Source: wublock123
