BTC.Fun leads the BTC MEME Season, opening the triple upgrade of Merlin Chain

MEME is rewriting the game rules of the crypto market. Since Pump.fun sparked a craze in the Solana ecosystem, similar platforms have emerged on various public chains. And in this competition, the most eye-catching variable has finally emerged in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

On December 4th, MEME launchpad BTC.Fun officially launched the first test Token PARTY and started the first round of Airdrop activity. As the first MEME launchpad in the BTC ecosystem, BTC.Fun relies on the ecological advantages of Merlin Chain to provide users with low gas fee Layer 1 and Layer 2 Runes/BRC20 Token issuance and trading services. The platform will support users to launch Token minting without permission, enhancing the activity of the BTC ecosystem and the application value of native assets.

Merlin Chain is known for its thriving application ecosystem and rapidly rising user base. What kind of chemical reaction will BTC.Fun bring about?

MEME Launchpad: A 'Giant Pump' for Public Chain Ecology

In the second half of 2023, Pump.Fun emerged and redefined the MEME Tokenissuance model. Within a few months, the volume surpassed $5 billion and the active users exceeded 1 million. The 'one-click launch coin' model not only continuously created phenomenal MEME projects in the market, but also propelled the explosive growth of the Solana ecosystem. Through the innovative LP Token permanent lock mechanism, Pump.Fun has brought about a deflationary effect of millions of SOL to Solana.

Under this drive, major public chains are competing to lay out MEME launch platforms. In the past quarter, we witnessed how the MEME launch platform brought a 'huge pump' to various public chain ecosystems. In August 2024, the MEME launch platform Sun Pump of the TRON ecosystem went online, and the on-chain gas of TRON soared, bringing significant on-chain activity rise to TRON in the short term. The DEX ratio skyrocketed from the previous 3% to 51%, and TRX also hit a three-year high. DEX Screener launched Moonshot, and BNB on-chain MEME activities continued one after another. In the Base ecosystem, Clanker introduced the concept of AI, and more than 100 projects were issued within 24 hours.

The prosperity and asset empowerment brought by MEME to the ecosystem are obvious. So far, the MEME launch platform has become a new battleground for major ecosystems.

Merlin Chain: Leading the MEME wave happening in BTC

As the earliest and most influential encryption ecosystem, BTC has the largest user base, the strongest financial strength, and the most solid faith foundation. These qualities naturally make the BTC ecosystem the best soil for MEME culture. Although public chains such as ETH, SUI, and Base have emerged with similar successful project replicas, only the leading BTC in the encryption world has the potential to become a strong competitor. However, the BTC ecosystem has always lacked a concrete platform to promote its MEME narrative and financial effects.

This is why the first BTC native MEME platform will be born on Merlin Chain - the most fertile soil, the most mature ecosystem, and the most powerful innovation drive.

Since the launch of the Mainnet earlier this year, Merlin Chain has been focused on supporting native innovations in the BTC ecosystem, and has laid out multiple industry-leading applications in various key areas (DEX, cross-chain bridges, lending, infrastructure, entertainment, etc.). In addition, Merlin Chain's thriving on-chain activities and excellent liquidity also provide an excellent environment for MEME incubation. Here, innovators can find the most complete supporting infrastructure, the most active user community, and the most abundant liquidity support.

BTC.Fun: Triple Upgrade to Start the Merlin Chain Ecosystem

The launch of BTC.Fun will undoubtedly bring fundamental upgrades in three dimensions to BTC L2 leading Merlin Chain.

1, Upgrading the Tokenomics of MERL Token

BTC.Fun adopts a permanent locking mechanism, each time a new Token is issued on the platform, a certain proportion of MERL will be locked in the Liquidity pool. These locked Tokens will never re-enter the market, creating a sustained deflationary mechanism. This mechanism not only reduces the supply of Tokens in the market, but more importantly, injects new value capture logic into MERL. Each MEME project issued on the platform will become a driving force for the value appreciation of MERL.

2, Upgrade of the ecological value of Merlin Chain

The MEME platform has never been an isolated existence, but rather a catalyst for the prosperity of the entire ecosystem. When a large number of users enter the ecosystem to participate in the MEME project, they not only use the MEME platform, but also explore other applications in the ecosystem. Coincidentally, Merlin Chain has the most prosperous application ecosystem on the Bitcoin Layer 2, providing solid support for users and initiating a virtuous cycle for the ecosystem itself. From DEX to cross-chain bridges, from lending protocols to the Non-fungible Token market, every link will benefit from the increase in user activity.

3. Upgrade of user base

MEME users are the most active and creative community in the encryption world, not only bringing volume, but also injecting new vitality and innovative thinking into the ecosystem. We have already seen this effect in the Solana ecosystem—Pump.fun's success has not only brought substantial volume, but more importantly, has given birth to a vibrant and innovative community. In the largest Cryptocurrency ecosystem, BTC, this effect may be even more significant. The BTC ecosystem already has such fertile ground—evidenced by last year's Ordinals to SATS. Against the backdrop of the current MEME craze, the lack of top MEME projects in the BTC ecosystem itself is a gap waiting to be filled. It is only natural for encryption users to play MEME in the BTC ecosystem.

According to official news, BTC.Fun has launched a Telegram mini-program. Users can directly search for BTC.Fun in the Telegram search bar to earn points through participating in games, and exchange them for PARTY and other tokens that will be issued on BTC.Fun in subsequent activities. Merlin Chain will consolidate its leading position in the BTC L2 track through triple upgrades, and is expected to create a new era of secondary outbreak in the BTC ecosystem Application Layer.
