On January 12, Merlin Chain, a bitcoin native two-layer project, announced its support for Goldinals, the first unified asset protocol for bitcoin. Goldinals was developed by Nubit, a bitcoin ecosystem native technology project, and was contributed by Domo, the founder of BRC20. It is backward compatible with all bitcoin existing asset protocols such as BRC-20, Ordinals, and Runes. It aims to unify the bitcoin asset ecosystem and promote liquidity, transparency, and programming capabilities. Merlin Chain hopes to empower the existing community with the Goldinals protocol, and use Goldinals and its BitVM technology to explore trustless asset solutions in the bitcoin ecosystem, providing support for stablecoins and new asset applications.
