1] B² Network
Background: Typical VC bureau, strong financing background, HashKey Capital, OKX Ventures, IDG, KuCoin Venture, etc.
How to play:
① The current stage of staking to get points (mining machine parts). By staking 0.05B, you can get 1 component every day, and 10 components can be used to synthesize a CPU mining machine at least. In addition, there are advanced GPUs, ASIC mining machines, and mining machines that can be used to mine coins in the second stage. It is recommended to pledge at least 0.1 BTC. https://buzz.bsquared.network/?code=yksVe
②B² Network has a test network Odyssey. You can get points by completing tasks. If you have enough energy, you can save a few. Number. https://task.bsquared.network/leaderboard?code=TPbd4Ea…
TVL: 500 million, B² supports multi-chain deposit pledge, but all deposits Assets are automatically converted into BTC.
2]Merlin Chain Merlin Chain
Background: OKX Ventures, ABCDE, Foresight Ventures, etc. , the team previously built the BRC 420 protocol. There are some common shareholders with B² Network, but it is obvious that Merlin Chain’s native encryption genes are stronger. Some small native encryption teams, including Woo and MOBOX, have participated in the investment. It has many basic users and belongs to the community + VC common prosperity bureau.
How to play:
① In the stage of staking to get points, there are two paths for official deposits. The first staking path (Merlin's Seal) https://merlinchain.io/bridge/staking (my invitation code YAVLE) supports BTC chain, Eth mainnet, Arb, ZKFair, and Tron deposit pledge. Note that different chains will generate different Merlin abstract wallet addresses, and the official Merlin's Seal website currently only supports BTC chain login. What assets are crossed and what assets are pledged will not be forced to be exchanged for BTC like B². BTC chain deposits also support a series of BTC ecological assets such as ORDI, SATS, BRC 420 Blue Box, Bitfrog, Node Monkey, etc. Therefore, it is very popular among major BTC ecological communities. For those who have supporting ecological assets, especially those with low liquidity, it is recommended to deposit them in Merlin. Compared with depositing BTC, it seems to be a bit cheaper.
Merlin's pledge points are 10,000 points per BTC per day. The expected income can be referred to the calculator made by community partners https://bitmap.date/preseal/< /p>
② In addition to staking to get points, Merlin Chain has been launched on the main network. Now there is an idea that is to cross-chain to the Merlin Chain main network (that is, the second of the two paths mentioned above) to participate in ecological interactions, such as swap, and win ecological rewards. The first Golden Dog airdrop $VOYA has already appeared. This idea is recommended to use multiple accounts, https://merlin.meson.fi , and use @mesonfi to cross-chain from the EVM wallet to the Merlin account. After completing the cross-chain, go and participate in the swap https://merlinswap.org/ trade/swap
TVL: As of the early morning of March 1, 2.68 billion, including 24,869 BTC, accounting for 56.7% of TVL. Very exaggerated, very curly. Data statistics https://bitmap.date/merlin/
3] BVM
Background : @BVMnetwork An external community project with a native BTC community background, founded by the team of the previous overseas SocialFi product @NewBitcoinCity (the brand has been upgraded to @AlphaOnBitcoin). I don’t have a strong VC background, but I have conducted a community round of financing. The team's product capabilities are excellent. When FriendTech was popular, NBC was very popular in overseas communities. Unfortunately, the entire SocialFi collapsed together. The recently popular BRC 404@naka_chain is also supported by this team.
How to play: BVM is taking the direction of modular BTC Layer2, which allows project parties to easily build L2. There will be a second quarter airdrop in May, but it is more suitable project operators to participate. The advantage is that it is niche and does not involve participation. In addition to taking BVM airdrops, participants can also win airdrops from community-based projects. If you are planning to make BTC L2 application, you can focus on it.
4] BEVM
Background: @BTClayer2, the team has been working on BTC L2 for a long time ( Previous project @chainx_org ), recently received a round of financing, the specific amount is unknown.
