Koh expressed his support for Merlin Chain, noting, &#34;We are proud to back the Merlin team led by Jeff as they truly understand this vision and the mindset of the BTC community - prioritizing fair launches and distribution and grassroots-led growth of the entire ecosystem!&#34;</p><h2 id="header-0">Strengthening Foundations with Global Backers and Safeguards</h2><p>Merlin Chain&#39;s founder Jeff, a seasoned entrepreneur in Web2, has secured funding from top-tier institutions such as  <a href="https://www.sequoiacap.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sequoia Capital</a>, <a href="https://en.idgcapital.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IDG Capital</a>, <a href="https://www.bai-cap.com/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BAI Capital</a> (Bertelsmann), <a href="https://www.5ycap.com/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">5Y Capital</a>, and <a href="https://www.vitalbridge.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Vitalbridge Capital</a>.

To this end, Merlin Chain has established the Merlin Security Council, which includes well-known entities such as <a href="https://cn.slowmist.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Slowmist</a>, <a href="https://blocksec.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BlockSec</a>,<a href="https://salusec.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Salus</a>,<a href="https://www.secure3.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Secure3</a>,<a href="https://www.scalebit.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> ScaleBit</a> and Revoke.Cash. With a focus on research, education and technological development, the council is a pivotal element in its strategy to attract white-hat hackers and innovative DApps, ensuring the ongoing safety and growth of the Merlin ecosystem.</p><h2 id="header-1">Revolutionizing Blockchain with Advanced Tech</h2><p>Merlin Chain is setting new standards in the blockchain domain with its innovative architecture that enhances security, scalability, and transparency. At the core of Merlin’s system is a multi-tiered structure supported by a decentralized oracle network. This network is crucial for integrating external data with the blockchain, ensuring that power is distributed fairly and risks are managed effectively, thereby stabilizing the ecosystem.</p><p>Central to Merlin’s technological advancements are the strategically placed sequence nodes within the oracle network. These nodes are vital for maintaining the integrity of the blockchain&#39;s ledger and facilitating the consensus process. They play a key role in organizing and processing transactions efficiently.</p><p>Merlin Chain utilizes zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, a form of cryptographic security that allows transaction verification without revealing any underlying data. This method, combined with Bitcoin&#39;s Taproot upgrade, significantly enhances privacy and efficiency. Taproot simplifies complex transactions on the Bitcoin network by merging multiple signatures into a single transaction, reducing the data needed and ensuring transactions are more private.</p><h2 id="header-2">Advancing Bitcoin&#39;s L2 Ecosystem Through Community</h2><p>Merlin Chain&#39;s success is not just a product of strategic marketing but is deeply rooted in its cutting-edge technology and the robust support from its community. This support is evidenced by its rapid growth and the trust placed in us by top-tier investors and the wider community.</p><p>In an era where Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions are becoming increasingly crucial, Merlin Chain stands out as a robust competitor, even against established entities like ETH Layer 2 solutions. Merlin’s approach has been fundamentally community-driven, focusing on assets that garner early recognition and foster community cohesion. Noteworthy examples include its BRC-420 assets like the Blue Box, which have significantly contributed to its ecosystem&#39;s growth.</p><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/18522fa3ec2e49d0a428072cece6b17c.png" /></p><p>Merlin Chain is also actively expanding its DApp ecosystem by partnering with established Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) teams in key sectors such as gaming, DeFi, and social platforms. Their collaborations with high-profile projects and platforms are setting new standards for interoperability and innovation in the blockchain space.</p><p>With its latest funding round, Merlin Chain is poised for unprecedented growth. The protocol is committed to leading the charge in the Bitcoin ecosystem, driving innovation and delivering value to its users and stakeholders.</p><p>Merlin Chain invites the community and interested parties to join in this exciting journey as it continues to develop and expand its capabilities, paving the way for a more interconnected and efficient blockchain ecosystem.</p><h2 id="header-3">About Merlin Chain</h2><p><a href="https://merlinchain.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Merlin Chain</a> is a leading Bitcoin Layer 2 solution that facilitates fast, scalable, and secure transactions within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
