About Blockchains
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".
About Polygon
Polygon, formerly Matic Network, is a blockchain platform designed to establish a multi-chain system compatible with Ethereum. It employs a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism similar to Ethereum for on-chain transactions, with its native token being POL. Functioning as a "layer two" or "sidechain" scaling solution alongside Ethereum, Polygon facilitates quicker transactions and lower fees. Its inception aimed to tackle Ethereum's major challenges, including high fees, subpar user experience, and limited transaction throughput, aspiring to create an "Ethereum's internet of blockchains" or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
