Thoughts on Rune Protocol and Ecosystem Expansion

The Rune Protocol is gradually highlighting its value in the Bitcoin ecosystem, enabling Bitcoin to support complex smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), thereby broadening application scenarios, from decentralized finance to gaming and asset tokenization, helping Bitcoin break through the single limitation of value storage. As these projects practice based on this infrastructure, the Rune Protocol increasingly becomes a key element in enhancing Bitcoin's practicality. Another significant development is the integration of many startup projects into the Maerlin ecosystem. More and more projects are leveraging the tools and framework advantages of the Maerlin ecosystem, likely triggering a series of chain reactions that drive innovation in vertical sectors of the industry.

Market Milestone

During Demo Day, the market welcomed exciting news: the day before the event, Bitcoin's price broke through the $100,000 mark. This achievement reflects the growing confidence in blockchain technology across various sectors and the optimistic outlook for the development of decentralized finance.** Currently, institutional participation is increasingly enthusiastic, and the new government's regulatory policies in the U.S. are expected to become clearer, presenting favorable development opportunities for the blockchain industry, with promising growth ahead.

Looking Ahead

The successful holding of this Demo Day reaffirms our commitment to supporting blockchain innovation. Moving forward, we look forward to deep collaboration with more first-layer and second-layer networks, supporting projects that tackle key challenges and explore new opportunities, promoting the healthy development of the decentralized ecosystem.

We are currently in the process of preparing the next batch of incubator projects and sincerely invite visionary founders and strategic partners to join us in shaping the future of Web3.
