Singapore, Singapore, September 9th, 2024, Chainwire

 

Merlin Chain, a revolutionary Bitcoin Layer 2 platform, has achieved unprecedented milestones in just six months, solidifying its position as the largest Layer 2 in the Bitcoin ecosystem. With a Total Value Locked (TVL) surpassing $1.2 billion and bridge transactions exceeding $16 billion, Merlin Chain has redefined how users interact with Bitcoin, empowering native assets, fostering liquidity, and driving innovative ecosystem developments.

Since its launch in early 2024, Merlin Chain has grown into the largest Bitcoin-native network, with 1.9 million on-chain addresses and over 12.7 million transactions processed. The platform has also become the leading hub for Bitcoin-native assets, hosting over 80% of all Bitcoin-native asset holders.

Merlin Chain’s remarkable achievements in the first half of 2024 include:

  • Adoption and Network Growth: With rapid TVL growth of $3.9 billion within 50 days of the mainnet launch and 1.9 million unique addresses, Merlin Chain continues to lead the Bitcoin Layer 2 space.
  • Strength in Liquidity: Merlin Chain has facilitated over $16 billion in BTC bridged volume, with $1 billion in spot trading and $1 billion in perpetual trading, securing its position as a key player in Bitcoin liquidity.
  • Thriving Ecosystem: Merlin Chain now supports more than 200 decentralized applications (dApps) across DeFi, BTCFi, gaming, NFTs, and more. Leading platforms such as UniCross, Solv Protocol, Avalon Labs, and MerlinSwap have contributed to this robust ecosystem growth, providing the community with innovative services and liquidity solutions.
  • Fair Token Distribution: Token fairly distributed to the community. $MERL’s inflation slowed significantly, to only 0.4% in the next 12 months.

210M $MERL Ecosystem Grant to Accelerate Expansion

To further solidify its leadership, Merlin Chain launched its 210M $MERL Ecosystem Grant Program in June, focusing on enhancing user experience, Bitcoin-native asset innovation, ecosystem engagement, and developer tools. The grant is aimed at expanding the platform’s ecosystem by empowering builders and innovators to contribute to the future of Bitcoin Layer 2.

Technical Advancements and Security

Merlin Chain’s commitment to innovation is supported by its advanced technical architecture. The platform has implemented ZK-Rollup technology and multi-token staking Oracle nodes to enhance security, scalability, and transparency. By integrating solutions like Babylon and BTC Staking/Restaking, Merlin Chain is pioneering new ways to optimize Bitcoin-native asset yields.

Merlin Chain has also partnered with leading security firms such as Celestia for data integrity and Cobo for advanced MPC wallets, ensuring that users have access to cutting-edge technology to safeguard their assets. Additionally, Merlin Chain established the Merlin Security Council, which includes renowned partners like Slowmist and BlockSec, further fortifying its security infrastructure.

Looking Ahead to 2024

As Merlin Chain continues to lead in Bitcoin Layer 2 innovation, it is preparing for even greater expansion in the second half of 2024. With plans to integrate Bitcoin’s latest protocol updates and drive further growth in its ecosystem, Merlin Chain aims to become the dominant force in Bitcoin-native assets, liquidity, and interoperability across multiple chains, including EVM, Solana, and TON.

“We are incredibly proud of the strides we’ve made in such a short time,” said Jeff, Founder of Merlin Chain. “Our success wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community and our innovative partners. As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for Bitcoin and its Layer 2 ecosystem.”
