Odaily Planet Daily News: Jeff, founder of Bitcoin Layer2 project Merlin Chain, said in an exclusive interview with Odaily Planet Daily that the Merlin 2.0 upgrade plan has been officially released. This version will focus on "BTC's interest-bearing ability and cross-chain transaction capabilities", and is committed to upgrading Bitcoin from a single value storage asset to a profitable and liquid on-chain currency. Jeff pointed out that the core goals of Merlin Chain in the future will revolve around two directions: one is to enhance the practicality of BTC so that it can be used for multi-chain interaction, DeFi investment and asset trading; the second is to lower the threshold for retail investors and institutions to enter the BTC ecosystem, so that BTC can not only outperform the market, but also participate in new narratives and new projects to capture higher potential returns. He also revealed that Merlin will continue to optimize the BTCfi ecosystem, expand AI-driven chain abstraction technology, and launch a series of user-friendly products in the next stage to promote BTC to become a true "universal currency" on the chain.
