Proposing to enable native Bitcoin along with EVM L1 & L2s cross-chain swaps to Aztec.

Garden is the fastest Bitcoin bridge currently, enabling cross-chain swaps in as little as 30 seconds. It is built using an intents-based architecture with trustless settlements, ensuring zero custody risk for users. To date, we have processed over $1.16 billion in swap volume on the mainnet.

In the first phase, since the proposal guide suggests building Aztec to EVM L2s bridging on the testnet, we built a testnet dApp to give an experience of the swap flow at _testnet.garden.finance_ (supports bridging between Ethereum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, Arbitrum Sepolia, Citrea Testnet, Bitcoin testnet 4, and Monad Testnet), the flow for Aztec would be the same.

Looking forward to feedback on the [complete proposal here](https://forum.aztec.network/t/integrating-garden-with-aztec-for-privacy-preserving-cross-chain-swaps/7569).
