It is no accident that Merlin Layer 2 (L2) has become a leader in the BTC ecosystem.
It has won the support and recognition of the community with its unique advantages and features.
Let’s briefly explore these advantages and understand why it deserves our solidarity and support. First of all, as a native BTC Layer 2 solution, Merlin Chain’s total locked value (TVL) reaches US$3.6 billion, 91% of which comes from Bitcoin’s native assets.
This achievement reflects the strong support and long-term perspective of the Bitcoin community, which has contributed to the prosperity and development of the ecosystem. Secondly, Merlin adopts a bottom-up asset issuance method, that is, there are assets first, and narrative later. It drives assets through the community and builds consensus around the assets.
This approach not only fosters a tight-knit community, but also allows successful assets to evolve into powerful, cohesive symbols. Third, Merlin Chain has shown its openness to cooperate with other chains, especially strong teammates in the Ethereum ecosystem. Even when facing challenges such as Manta’s attack on Blast, Merlin cooperates with other chains by implementing measures such as re-staking, reflecting the transformation from zero-sum game to win-win cooperation.
Finally, taking advantage of Bitcoin's advantages in funding and community support, Merlin Chain quickly established an application ecosystem, gathering leading companies and projects in each segment to complement the application advantages in the Ethereum ecosystem. To sum up, Merlin’s success as a leader in the BTC Layer 2 ecosystem is no accident.
It has demonstrated strong ecological construction capabilities by integrating the capital and community advantages of Bitcoin, adopting innovative asset issuance and community building methods, promoting ecological win-win with an open and cooperative attitude, and quickly gathering leading companies in subdivided tracks. Therefore, supporting and embracing Merlin is not only recognition of its current achievements, but also an investment of confidence in its future potential. I believe Merlin's future will be brighter.
