Those who have not yet participated in B2 and Merlin mining, do it again.
BTC's two layer2s: B2 and Merlin, have the largest alpha in the first half of the year. Think about it, staking Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, these three mainstream assets, can achieve a return of 20% to 40% in just two or two months, equivalent to an annualized return of 120% to 240%. There is no reason not to participate.
Just now, Merlin's points were traded at 0.5u off-site (yesterday it was 0.25u), which means that such a high annualized rate is not an estimate, but can be immediately realized. There has always been an impossible triangle for large-scale mining: high returns, certainty, and security. B2 and Merlin, the two "magic mines", are the few projects in recent years that have broken this impossible triangle. The experience I got from playing the Lumiterra game recently is that only doing the main tasks and less side tasks will grow the fastest. The main tasks in the currency circle were ETH L2 of Blast&Manta before, and then ETH Eigenlayer of Renzo&Puffer. Now it is the turn of B2 and Merlin's BTC L2. If you want to grow quickly, you must keep up with the main tasks.
ERC404 and other platforms are just game copies, which require very high-level players to play, and they may not be able to exit unscathed. As for today, which one is more worth participating in, B2 or Merlin, I have said before that one is the strong general in the flower world, and the other is the treasure general, and they are equally matched. If I have to choose one of the two, I think it is B2 now. Because both are invested by OKX, but B2 is stronger than Merlin, and other investment institutions are obviously stronger and more formal.
Recently, I saw on TVL that the mining funds of Merlin have reached nearly 1 billion in just a few days! (The official data will be announced tomorrow), while B2 is less than 500 million. If the valuations of the two are similar, it is obviously more cost-effective to invest in B2 mining. The picture shows the current ecological map of B2. It is impossible for these projects on B2 not to send airdrops to the early participating addresses of B2 in the future. Of course, the Merlin ecosystem is also strong, so my suggestion is to be strong in both hands and grasp both! As for the specific introduction of the two projects, I have talked about them too many times recently, so I will not nag about it anymore.

(Currently, funds still support 1.5x accelerated mining. It is recommended to deposit at least 0.25 BTC or the equivalent of Ethereum and stablecoins, because advanced mining machines can be opened.)

B2 generates computing power mining machine points immediately after the funds enter, while Merlin starts calculating points at 8 o'clock the next day after the funds enter.
In short, the best time to mine is when it just started a few days ago, and now, immediately. I hope that when the funds can be withdrawn in mid-April, everyone will be able to live up to the hard work of the first half of the year. Let me quote this sentence: "How many things are always urgent; the world is turning, and time is pressing. Ten thousand years is too long, so we must seize the day." Time waits for no one, and we must truly improve our execution and invest in the rare BTC layer2 revolution.
