Merlin's tutorial is someone else's tutorial that I used. I followed this tutorial completely and didn't encounter any problems. So I will only make some fine-tuning based on my own actual operation process, for example

If there is WVM in the original article, I will skip it. Not the old man

You don’t know how to use your hands at all, just cross the chain.

1. What is Merlin Chain?

This financing enables the team to continue enriching the ecosystem and increasing overall liquidity. At present, Merlin Chain has built a strong DApp ecosystem and is planning for further expansion.

Merlin Chain will launch its mainnet this week. After going online,

Merlin Chain plans to hold a series of staking activities and through

Distributing its governance tokens through "fair release" aims to reward real users and builders.

2. Investment institutions

Merlin (Min)#OKXVentures, ABCDE.

Foresight Ventures, Arkstream Capital $ 24

Many institutions participated in the investment, which can be said to be a luxurious lineup.

3. About token distribution

$0.00004762

About the total amount of $MERL: 2,100,000,000 Launch price:

Price: 100,000 U Quantity of this launch: 21,000,000 (1%) Estimated launch volume

Staking mining activity time: In order to successfully purchase and lock the token distribution,

You need to arrive at 12:00 noon (UTC) on February 10, 2024

Until February 11, 2024 at 12 noon (UTC)

Complete payment within time.

Operational teaching begins!

Step one: Open the event official website

https://launchpad.ally.build?id=1&inviteCode=ESOF5N

  1. (Copy the previous address and open it in your browser)

Step 3: Connect and follow Twitter;

Step 4: Connect to Discord and enter the DC channel;

Step 5: Enter the invitation code: ESOF5N (you will get an additional 200 points with the invitation code), click to accept the invitation

Step 6: Follow Merlin on Twitter and invite more members

Note that inviting one person can get 200 power points (not high). The main value depends on staking and cross-chain.

Step 7: The next step is to cross the other chain assets to the Merlin chain through the cross-link bridge. Click on Meson to directly perform the cross-chain operation.

Step 8: Cross-chain can be carried out through meson, portal:

https://meson.fi/

The handling fees of second-tier networks such as ARB and OP are lower. It is recommended to cross

USDC, the more pledged, the more quota will be given (recommended

Cross a small amount first, then cross a larger amount after the account is settled), then

Merlin Chain holds BTC on its mainnet. wallet per

0.00025 BTC +1000 Power, get up to 80,000

Power. Therefore, the maximum number of cross-chain transactions is 0.02 BTC (currently

BTC = 43,300 USD)

The equivalent USDC is about 866 US dollars [The maximum price is 900 US dollars. Brother Ma made 867 US dollars and found that it was still a little short] Ouyidi coin 0.8U ~ cross-chain fee 0.9U ~

Thirteen purchased USDC directly on ok and transferred it to the Little Fox Wallet.

OP chain, at the same time, it is best to buy about 7 U of ETH to OP as fuel cost. Do not realize that there is no fuel until this step of the operation.

Special note, if you find that USDC is not displayed in the op wallet after transferring to USDC, don’t panic, just cross-chain directly. No wallet is needed, the money is in the wallet. Because the op needs to be added manually, do it slowly and don't rush.

After clicking CONFIRM, there will be a pop-up box. Don't close it in a hurry. Wait for about 4 minutes and the picture below will be automatically displayed.

Step 9: After the cross-chain is completed, click to verify the assets and gain power.

You have one opportunity to verify your Merlin holdings. We will grant you Power based on the amount of Merlin BTC you hold.

You can verify this after transferring more Merlin BTC

The current power value is 79,000, and 0.07% of the tokens can be allocated, which is approximately

15,619 tokens. Value 1U~

If it is multiplied 100 times = 100U~1000 times = 1000U~

Of course, as more and more people participate, the coins you distribute will become less and less. Therefore, the first phase of activities,

The amount is really too small. You can do a few fewer numbers to get a feel for the process. Experience it. The future boss should be in the next mission.

Although the term "purchasing Merlin tokens" is used above, in fact, after the distribution according to the shares, the shares you can buy in your hands will be rounded off and equivalent to free money. Assuming that 100,000 addresses sign up to participate (assuming everyone has the same points), each person will receive a 0.01U share to purchase. - The time for depositing BTC: The early cross and late cross are the same, and the initial limit for a single cross-chain transaction is 0.002 BTC. The upper limit for a single deposit will be gradually increased in the next few days. It is recommended to deposit again on the fourth or fifth day; (and , the official will announce the pledge plan in the near future, which is independent from today's launchpad. The money deposited in launchpad cannot be withdrawn and pledged within a short period of time, so don't be too anxious to save money, you can wait for the fourth or fifth day. Decide how to allocate funds after comparison)
