iZUMi Launches MerlinSwap to Extend DEX-as-a-Service to Bitcoin’s DeFi Ecosystem

Leading DeFi innovator iZUMi Finance announces the launch of MerlinSwap, the first native Discretized-Liquidity-AMM DEX on Merlin Chain. Utilizing the advantages of iZUMi’s unique design of Discretized Liquidity AMM, MerlinSwap is engineered to deliver an experience akin to centralized exchanges (CEX) within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. By leveraging the robustness of the Bitcoin ecosystem and the interoperability of the Merlin EVM, MerlinSwap sets new standards in trading efficiency, liquidity management, and user engagement in the DeFi sector.

DEX-as-a-Service

DEX-as-a-Service is iZUMi’s unique solution to adapt the fast-growing landscape of emerging Layer 2s and new public chains. Powered by Particle Network and other AA solutions providers, DEX-as-a-Service combines DL-AMM with Account Abstraction and Multi-sig features, enabling a safer, more accessible DEX service on newly launched high-performance chains with low gas fees.

MerlinSwap is a brand new exploration of the DEX-as-a-Service approach adapted to the Bitcoin ecosystem, signifying the flexibility and accessibility of DEX-as-a-Service.

iZUMi’s DaaS Airdrop Plan

As iZUMi’s first step in its DEX-as-a-Service expansion strategy, MerlinSwap will distribute 2% of its total token supply as a reward to the iZUMi Finance and Merlin Chain users. 1% will be allocated to $IZI holders, 1% will be allocated to Merlin Chain token holders.

For future expansions, iZUMi Finance will consider adopting the same airdrop strategy to better help $iZi holders bootstrap value in the ecosystems of new chains.

Why Merlin Chain?

Merlin Chain is a Bitcoin Layer 2 that builds upon the native assets, protocols, and products of Bitcoin Layer 1 and will continue to innovate and unleash their potential, to make the Bitcoin ecosystem thrive.

The architecture of Merlin Chain is designed to seamlessly bridge multiple Bitcoin Layer 1 assets to Layer 2. Operating in tandem with the Bitcoin blockchain, the Merlin Chain maintains an optimal equilibrium between scalability and decentralization.
