Bitcoin L2 Solution Merlin Chain Goes Live: Unlocking Bitcoin’s Potential Through Innovation 🚀

New York, United States, January 31st, 2024 - Chainwire This week, the highly anticipated Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, Merlin Chain, was launched on its testnet, with the mainnet set to launch within the next month. This development is aimed at addressing the network congestion issue plaguing Bitcoin, and serves as a potential scaling solution. The recent advancements in ordinals have brought focus back to this issue over the past year.

Introducing Merlin Chain, a Native L2 Solution on Blocking.net, unlocking Bitcoin’s potential.

New York, United States, January 31st, 2024, Chainwire – This week, the much-anticipated Bitcoin L2 solution Merlin Chain went live on its testnet, with its mainnet scheduled to launch within a month as well. With the ongoing network congestion dilemma and scaling issues faced by Bitcoin, the launch of Merlin Chain brings hope for a more efficient and innovative Bitcoin ecosystem. Let’s dive in and explore the valuable information this development provides, along with some additional insights and answers to common reader concerns.

Understanding Bitcoin’s Network Congestion Dilemma and Scaling Solutions

The rising popularity of Bitcoin has led to increased network congestion and higher transaction costs. This has discouraged new users from entering the Bitcoin space and hindered the growth of the ecosystem. The skyrocketing transaction fees, as shown in the chart below, have underscored the urgent need for scaling solutions:

• Authorities Seize $1.7 Billion in Bitcoin in Money Laundering Case: Former Restaurant Worker Caught in the Act!
• Global X Withdraws Application for Bitcoin ETF: What You Need to Know
• Bitcoin’s price is expected to drop to $43,000 after the CBOE decided to withdraw its ETF due to changes in the economy.

To address these challenges, the development of an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Layer 2 (L2) network has gained attention due to its simplicity. Merlin Chain, developed by Bitmap Tech (formerly Recursiverse), stands out as one of the EVM-compatible L2 chains with a strong track record in the community.

🔥 BRC-420: Empowering Bitcoin’s Native Assets

Merlin Chain’s parent company, Bitmap Tech, has successfully developed the BRC-420 protocol, which enables the combination and recursion of various file formats to create more complex inscriptions. Assets such as the “Blue Box,” Mineral, and “This Song About NFTs” have gained popularity on Bitcoin, attracting over 1000 developers and 600 collections. BRC-420 has proven to be stable even during bear market conditions, with prices consistently rising.

🕹 Bitmap.Game: Unlocking Bitcoin’s Gaming Potential

Bitmap.Game, another successful project by Bitmap Tech, is a fully on-chain, decentralized metaverse based on the Digital Matter Theory underlying Bitcoin. It has surpassed the Sandbox to become the metaverse asset with the highest number of holders across all blockchains, attracting over 30,000 holders. Bitmap.Game’s market capitalization has soared from $3 million to an all-time high of $290 million, further demonstrating the team’s ability to drive growth and engagement within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Unleashing the Magic: Merlin Chain’s Unique Approach to Bitcoin L2

Merlin Chain’s objective is not just to create an L2 solution for Bitcoin, but to unlock its full potential through innovative native assets, users, and protocols. The team believes that L2 should enable new forms of innovation rather than merely replicating Ethereum’s functionality. By focusing on “Bitcoin-native” innovations, Merlin Chain aims to empower the ecosystem and attract more users to Bitcoin.

🔒 Leveraging ZK-Rollup for Efficiency and Security

To ensure efficient and secure scaling, Merlin Chain has adopted ZK-Rollup, a technology that compresses transaction proofs into a simple check-sum. This improves transaction efficiency and scalability by reducing the resource-intensive processes. The integration of ZK-Rollup, sequencer nodes, and a decentralized Oracle network allows for secure and transparent operations on the Bitcoin L1 taproot.

🌐 Native Integration: Merlin Chain’s Bitcoin-Centric Approach

Merlin Chain stands out from other Bitcoin L2 solutions with its “Bitcoin Native” approach. The platform supports bitcoin-native wallets, allowing users to seamlessly switch between L1 and L2. It also plans to support major Bitcoin L1 protocols, including BRC-20, Bitmap, BRC-420, Atomicals, SRC20, and Pipe. Merlin Chain’s commitment to Bitcoin-native features extends to its governance token, which will be based on the BRC-20 standard, ensuring alignment with the Bitcoin ecosystem.

🌉 Bridging the Gap: Simplifying Bitcoin Adoption and Fueling Growth

One of the main challenges for the Bitcoin ecosystem is attracting new users and fresh investments. Bitcoin’s complexity and the time-consuming inscription process have hindered its mass adoption. To simplify Bitcoin adoption, Merlin Chain has connected with 40 Ethereum chains, allowing users to interact on the platform using familiar wallets and assets. This integration enables users to experience Bitcoin in a native manner, without prior knowledge of Bitcoin-specific concepts.

In addition, Merlin Chain will soon launch the first multi-chain inscription DApp, simplifying the inscribing process and providing an affordable way to purchase BRC-20, BRC-420, Atomicals, and Runes assets. The platform’s commitment to decentralization is evident in its decision to release most of the governance tokens to the community.

🌌 The Future of Bitcoin Unfolds: Go Merlin Chain! 🚀🚀

Merlin Chain’s launch on the testnet brings renewed hope for the Bitcoin ecosystem, paving the way for innovative solutions and scalability. As the mainnet launch approaches, users can look forward to an even more enhanced Bitcoin experience with Merlin Chain at the helm.
