Overview of Merlin Chain

Overview of Merlin Chain

Merlin Chain is a native Bitcoin Layer 2 designed to provide advanced utilization of BTC assets. It is EVM-compatible, allowing seamless interaction with EVM-compatible dApps. The governance token of Merlin Chain is MERL, a BRC-20 token.

Key Features

  • EVM Compatibility: Merlin Chain allows users to interact with EVM-compatible dApps without needing an EVM wallet. This is achieved through the integration of Polygon's zkEVM technology and the use of Sequencer nodes and Data Availability Committee (DAC) nodes.

  • ZK Rollup: Merlin Chain uses ZK-Rollup to enhance efficiency and scalability. This approach ensures transparency and security through the decentralized Oracle network.

  • Native Innovation: Merlin Chain focuses on native Bitcoin innovations, supporting popular Bitcoin protocols such as BRC-20, BRC-420, Bitmap, Atomicals, Pipe, and Stamp. It aims to unlock greater utility for Bitcoin, enhancing its adoption and user base.

  • Low Fees and High Scalability: Merlin Chain is designed to provide low fees and high scalability, ensuring swift transaction processing and enhancing transaction liquidity.

  • Security: Merlin Chain's approach includes measures to avoid manipulation, such as staking BTC to participate in the Oracle network and penalizing nodes that confirm invalid transactions.

History

Merlin Chain was officially announced in January 2024, followed by the launch of a testnet bridge and the rollout of the mainnet in February 2024. The mainnet launch included a fair launch event that achieved a total value locked (TVL) of over $3.5 billion. It has secured seed round funding from 24 investors, led by notable names in the industry.
