Merlin Chain主网预计将于2024年2月上线。

BRC-420 协议生态项目在前段时间的整体行情回调中逆势上涨。

其中,蓝盒子(BRC 420)的价格一度从 0.15 U 飙升至 26, 000 U,市值达到 1 万 BTC,紧随 BAYC 和 CryptoPunks 之后。截至目前,蓝盒子在 Ordinals 范围内的 10 k 合集中单价仍然位居榜首。

蓝盒子的背后是 Bitmap Tech 团队,除了 BRC-420 协议,他们还推出了 Bitmap.Game(Bitmap 元宇宙)和 Recursiverse(基于递归协议的产品矩阵)。Bitmap 的市值最近从 300 万美元飙升至最高 2.9 亿美元,持币地址达到 3 万+,与蓝盒子一样,成为 Ordinals 生态备受关注的项目之一。

Bitmap Tech 团队在本周推出了比特币二层解决方案 Merlin Chain 的测试网,并在采访中透露其主网也将于 2024 年 2 月上线。本文旨在通过梳理 Merlin Chain 的公开信息,还原其愿景和解决路径。

旨在成为比特币二层网络的领军者

比特币一层网络的交易量在 Ordinals 生态的崛起下迅猛增长,然而设计时未充分考虑数据密集型交易,导致比特币网络拥堵不堪。为解决这一问题,近期涌现了众多比特币扩容方案,从需要自我保证安全的侧链到 DA 基于比特币一层网络的 Rollup,讨论纷纷。

在这众多方案中,以 EVM 侧链结合跨链桥的解决方案成为了立即可实施的方案,并在短期内成为比特币二层网络的标配。Bitmap Tech 团队深耕比特币生态多年,迅速投身到二层网络的开发中,推出了 Merlin Chain。

值得注意的是,改善一层网络的拥堵和降低交易手续费只是 Merlin Chain 要解决的问题之一。该团队正着眼于“比特币网络中新增用户数极少”这一更为深刻、复杂的问题。

Merlin Chain 的目标不仅仅是改善比特币一层的交易环境,更是在二层引入更多原生的应用。通过在二层实现对一层资产、协议和用户生态的赋能,比如基于 Bitmap 构建用户可轻松进入的元宇宙、基于 BRC-420 构建 DeFi 协议以最大化释放其图币二象性,来放大比特币生态整体的资产潜力。

ZK-Rollup 技术集成与资产安全保障

在技术实现路径上,Merlin Chain 采用了 ZK-Rollup 技术,将大量的交易证明压缩成一个简单的校验和,从而降低 DA 上链成本。二层的 sequencer 节点负责收集和批量处理交易,通过 zkEVM 生成压缩后的交易数据、ZK 状态根以及 Proof 证明。

压缩后的交易数据和 ZK Proof 将通过去中心化 Oracle 网络上传到比特币一层的 taproot 中,面向全网公开,以确保透明度和公正性。

其中,去中心化 Oracle 网络节点将会被要求质押 BTC,以保证其不会做恶。用户则可以基于压缩数据、ZK 状态根和 ZK Proof 发起对 ZK-Rollup 的挑战。成功挑战将导致回滚到上一验证通过状态,并罚没 Oracle 节点的锁仓资产,确保系统的安全性和可信度。

通过这些技术模块的整合,Merlin Chain 有望构建一个高效、安全、原生比特币的二层解决方案。

引领原生比特币生态的整合与扩张

除了强大的技术实力之外,Merlin Chain 与其他 Layer 2 项目的不同之处还在于,团队极为注重“比特币原生”,希望最终能为比特币的发展做出贡献。因此,作为服务比特币生态的第一步,团队通过账户抽象协议,成功实现了比特币钱包在 EVM 链上的集成。

在 Merlin Chain 上,原生比特币生态系统的用户可以继续使用他们的比特币钱包,在一层和二层网络之间自由切换,还能够体验比特币与其他资产之间的无缝互换。与此同时,之前从未接触过比特币的以太坊生态系统用户也可以使用他们熟悉的 EVM 钱包,例如 MetaMask,来进行交互,支付稳定币或以太坊、BNB、MATIC 等 EVM 系代币。通过这种方式,Merlin Chain 成功降低了比特币与以太坊两个生态系统用户之间的互动门槛,有望为比特币生态系统带来新的用户增长和活跃度。

除此之外,Merlin Chain 还支持 BRC-20、BRC-420、Bitmap、Atomicals 等铭文协议。用户可以通过跨链桥将这些原生资产转移到 Merlin Chain,甚至可以在 Merlin Chain 上以更低的价格和至少三倍的交易速度铸造比特币一层的铭文。

在 Merlin Chain 上,用户在一层网络上获得的铭文资产将会自动被添加到白名单中,以确保用户在 Merlin Chain 上的交易安全。这一系列的设计使得 Merlin Chain 成为一个多元化、高效率的生态系统,吸引了各个领域的合作伙伴。

目前,Merlin Chain 已经公布了的生态伙伴涵盖了 DEX、DeFi、游戏、社交等多个领域,预计在主网上线后将进一步扩大其生态规模。

坚守比特币原生信仰,践行去中心化治理

在代币经济方面,Merlin Chain 坚持对“比特币原生”的信仰,否定了使用以太坊资产作为比特币二层网络治理代币的构想,转而选择采用原生的 BRC-20 协议。作为对去中心化理念的遵循,Merlin Chain 的治理代币会根据链上用户的质押和活动情况,把绝大部分代币都释放给用户和社区。

Analysis of the Latest Portfolio Adjustment by the "Top Player" in the U.S. Stock Market: $9 Billion Short on NVIDIA, Shifting Focus to Power and Memory Sectors

AI investor Leopold Aschenbrenner has made a significant portfolio shift, taking a $9 billion nominal short position against top AI infrastructure stocks like NVIDIA, ASML, and Oracle. Simultaneously, he is redirecting capital towards what he sees as the next critical bottlenecks in the AI boom: power, memory, and data center networking, alongside private investments in AI model companies like Anthropic. This move is interpreted not as a call that the AI bubble has burst, but as a rotation within the infrastructure stack. The analysis highlights NVIDIA's recent $25 billion bond issuance as a potential signal, questioning why a cash-rich company would seek external debt despite high profits and increased dividends/buybacks. The core investment thesis is that the initial, crowded "picks and shovels" trade in semiconductors is maturing. The next wave of capital is expected to flow into the physical and logistical constraints of AI expansion: electricity supply, memory chip capacity, data center construction, and enabling technologies like optical networking (fiber) for high-bandwidth communication, where copper remains crucial for short distances. Aschenbrenner's substantial (approx. 20% of fund) private stake in Anthropic is noted as a key part of his strategy—investing directly in the "mine" (AI models) rather than just the "shovels." The discussion concludes that while certain segments may be overvalued, the overarching AI infrastructure demand driven by real product usage remains robust. The most promising long-term investments are seen in essential, non-sexy infrastructure—particularly energy and power companies—whose demand is viewed as a global constant irrespective of AI's cyclicality.

BIT Research: Liquidity is Disappearing, Will Bitcoin Replay the Bottoming Pattern of 2022?

The crypto market is currently in an adjustment phase driven by policy expectations and liquidity shifts. Despite a brief rebound fueled by geopolitical easing and SpaceX's strong IPO performance, unexpectedly hawkish signals from new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh have removed anticipated easing support. Concurrently, stablecoin liquidity is shrinking, with insufficient new capital inflows, pushing the market into a typically quiet summer period. Pricing lacks catalysts for a sustained rally. Daily trading volume has significantly contracted, stablecoin growth has slowed markedly, and the supportive effect of Strategy's (formerly MicroStrategy) STRC preferred stock-financed Bitcoin purchases is fading. Amid policy uncertainty, seasonal weakness, and liquidity contraction, Bitcoin faces near-term downward pressure. Warsh's hawkish pivot and refusal to provide a clear policy outlook have increased risk premiums, historically unfavorable for Bitcoin. Technically, the trend remains bearish below $73,700, with $62,446 as critical support. A break below could accelerate declines, though a prolonged consolidation phase, similar to 2022's bottoming process, is possible. Liquidity is a core constraint. Current daily volume is around $500 billion, roughly 25% of the peak during the July-Oct 2025 rally. The 12-month growth rates for USDT and USDC have fallen to ~20%, with 6-month growth near zero, indicating weak new inflows. Bitcoin ETF and Strategy-driven inflows have also weakened, with a 30-day rolling net outflow. With inflation at 4.2% above the Fed's target, combined hawkish policy, seasonal factors, and liquidity shortages challenge Bitcoin's ability to hold above $60,000. However, this adjustment phase may be forming a cyclical low this summer, potentially setting the stage for the next bull cycle.

Who Makes the Best Use of Claude Code? The Answer Might Not Be Programmers

Claude Code Usage Report Summary (Based on ~400k sessions) Core Finding: In agentic programming with Claude Code, a clear division of labor has emerged: humans primarily decide *what* to build (planning decisions), while Claude decides *how* to build it (execution decisions). Key Insights: 1. **Effectiveness is not limited to programmers.** In code-generation tasks, success rates for users in non-technical fields (law, finance, management, research) are nearing those of software engineers. What matters most is the user's domain expertise and understanding of the problem to be solved. 2. **Domain expertise drives success and efficiency.** Sessions where users exhibited "expert" proficiency in the task's domain saw verified success rates double compared to "novice" sessions. Experts also delegated more work per instruction, with Claude executing more actions and producing more output. 3. **AI is amplifying, not replacing, domain knowledge.** Claude Code lowers the *implementation* barrier, not the *judgment* barrier. The value of knowing the "what" and "why" is increasing relative to just knowing the "how" to code. 4. **Usage is evolving.** Over a 7-month period (Oct '25 - Apr '26), the share of sessions for debugging halved, while use for software operations, data analysis, and non-code writing roughly doubled. The estimated economic value of typical tasks increased by ~25%. Conclusion: The data suggests coding agents are making programming background less critical for completing technical tasks. However, they reward and amplify deep domain understanding. The ability to successfully direct an AI agent stems more from mastery of a specific field than from coding skill itself. The primary gains come from being competent in a domain; deep specialization adds only marginal additional advantage. This may signal a shift where software creation becomes integrated into various professions.
