# About Merlin

Merlin Chain is a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution that integrates several advanced technologies: the ZK-Rollup network, decentralized oracle network, Data Availability, and on-chain BTC fraud-proof modules. Its primary objective is to enhance Bitcoin's native assets, protocols, and products on Layer 1 by leveraging its Layer 2 network, and ultimately achieve the goal to "Make Bitcoin Fun Again."

The Merlin Chain, launched in January 2024, is a new project that originated from Bitmap Technology, a company founded by Jeff Yin. The goal of Merlin Chain is to enhance and empower Bitcoin, rather than serve as a replacement.
