In the past 45 days, more than 190,000 BTC (over 12.9 billion USD) has been bridged through Merlin Chain, just behind @binance and @coinbase, more than any other centralized exchanges. Merlin Chain is partnering with the leading MPC solutions providers such as Cobo, Fireblocks, Antalpha, New Huo Tech, to become the ultimate BTC gateway with the best liquidity and security. The staked BTC on Merlin Chain, M-BTC, also expands its liquidity beyond the Merlin Chain ecosystem. Together with the yield bearing Bitcoin, SolvBTC, built by @SolvProtocol, these Merlin Chain native Bitcoins are bridged to more than 10 different EVM chains. As of today, over 5,275 M-BTC and 4,009 SolvBTC (totalling over $630 million USD) have been bridged to EVM chains such as Etherium, Arbitrum, BNBChain, BSquared, Manta, Linea, Mode, and zkLink. The Merlin team is also working diligently to continue bringing liquidity across different chains.

Airdrop incoming!!!!!💝 Ascendant fams, The first round of $tASC airdrop will be released today👀. For all the wallet addresses with ASC Pass NFT by May 13th 14:00 UTC / 22:00 UTC+8 w/o refunding, you’d receive $100,000 tASC per ASC Pass, despite of rarity. For those who submit for refund but not claim, you can also receive $tASC airdrop by May 17th once the return period ends. For those of you who do not know what $tASC can be used for, this is the utility token of our gamified AI platform, convertible to on-chain token in near future. 😃Check out your $tASC on website.ascendant.fun as the picture attached. #aidrops #Bitcoin #ai

Important Update on Ascendant ASC Pass NFT Return Policy Ascendant fams, We are committed to honoring the promises we've made, including our return policy which was announced before the minting process to protect your faith in Ascendant. Here’s what you need to know: ❤️Loyalty Reward : For those choosing to continue their journey with Ascendant and not seeking a return, we're offering an airdrop of 100,000 $tASC on May 13th at 14:00 UTC / 22:00 UTC+8, convertible to $ASC at TGE. 📜Refund Procedure: If you decide to part ways, please read carefully below details: 1⃣Venue: website.ascendant.fun Navigate to the NFT page and scroll to the bottom. 2⃣Process: ✅Submission Phase: From May 10th 14:00 UTC / 22:00 UTC+8 to May 13th 13:59 UTC / 21:59 UTC+8. During this time, submit your refund application. ✅Claim Phase: From May 13th, 14:00 UTC / 22:00 UTC+8 to May 17th, 13:59 UTC / 21:59 UTC+8. During this period, you can claim your refund and return the NFTs. Both steps MUST be completed for a successful refund. 3⃣NFT ID: Locate your NFT ID (e.g., 213, between 1 and 1,542) in the Element marketplace or Merlin Scan. This will be required when submitting your return application. 4⃣Refund Price: Refunds will be issued at the original mint price in the same currency used for purchase (#btc or #merl). NFTs purchased from the secondary market are also eligible for a refund at the mint price, NOT the purchase price. 5⃣Cancellation: You may cancel your refund application by revisiting the same page by May 13th, 13:59 UTC / 21:59 UTC+8. Alternatively, simply not claiming the refund during the claim period will also cancel the process. If you ultimately decide not to refund, you will still be eligible for the airdrop. 6⃣No Transfer: Ensure your NFT remains in the same wallet address from submission to claim. Transferring the NFT will automatically cancel your refund application. Let's continue this great journey with #AI meeting #BTC!!

merlinchain.io/ecosystem Merlin Ecosystem is live! We built this page months ago but didn't release, because we want the Merlin Security council to audit some of them and then go live - we want to make sure it's all SAFE. Glad we did it by far. No security leak, and 3.5b dollars are safe during the staking. Still, 'Approved by Merlin Security Council' only means it's audited and open-source. Nothing is 100% safe in Blockchain. Right now we have 1+ Billion TVL locked in dApps (not staking) on Defillama. This gives us No.8 among all chains! Just after ETH, TRX, BNB, SOL, ARB, Blast and Base. Lots of dApps are building and coming, and we have Runes Incubator in Silicon Valley and DevCon in HK next month. Those early stage dApps have great things going on here on Merlin, if you are looking for more opportunities please check them out! And, Let's Make Bitcoin Fun Again.
