Merlin Chain integrates BitcoinOS cross-chain bridge, further ensuring the security of $2.5 billion in on-chain assets

ChainCatcher news, the Bitcoin Layer 2 network Merlin Chain announced a strategic partnership with the Bitcoin smart contract operating system BitcoinOS, which will adopt BitcoinOS's innovative BitSNARK technology to provide a more secure cross-chain solution, further ensuring the safety of over $2.5 billion in on-chain assets.

It is reported that BitcoinOS is the first project to showcase zero-knowledge proofs at the Bitcoin Nashville conference in July 2024, providing the industry's most advanced solution for cross-chain Bitcoin assets. By integrating BitcoinOS, Merlin Chain will achieve a cross-chain solution that does not rely on multi-signatures or MPC, significantly enhancing the security and efficiency of user cross-chain transactions.

This collaboration sets a new standard for technical security in the Bitcoin ecosystem and is a key milestone in Merlin Chain's technology roadmap for the second half of 2024. Merlin Chain will continue to incentivize native innovation and remain at the forefront of ZK research, committed to creating a secure, transparent, and decentralized on-chain environment for users and the Bitcoin ecosystem.
