According to Foresight News, Bitcoin's second-layer network Merlin Chain announced a strategic partnership with Bitcoin's smart contract operating system BitcoinOS. It will adopt BitcoinOS's BitSNARK technology to provide a more secure cross-chain solution and further protect the security of more than US$2.5 billion in assets on the chain.
BitcoinOS demonstrated zero-knowledge proof at the Bitcoin Nashville Conference in July 2024, providing a solution for Bitcoin asset cross-chain. By integrating BitcoinOS, Merlin Chain will implement a cross-chain solution that does not rely on multi-signature or MPC, improving the security and efficiency of users' cross-chain transactions.
