Merlin Chain, a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, has officially launched "Merlin 2.0," aiming to unlock new potential for Bitcoin assets. This upgrade seeks to expand Bitcoin's utility beyond a store of value, enabling users to generate additional income while holding BTC. Merlin 2.0 focuses on three key areas: expanding Bitcoin-based finance (BTCFi), implementing chain abstraction technology, and integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. This initiative aims to enhance BTC liquidity and practicality within a multi-chain ecosystem, lowering the barrier to entry for BTC users. Through Merlin 2.0, users can easily participate in BTCFi activities, such as earning deposit interest and providing liquidity, all while retaining ownership of their Bitcoin. The upgrade promises a streamlined and more accessible experience for Bitcoin holders looking to explore decentralized finance opportunities. ```
