About Merlin Token Security
Merlin Chain is a Bitcoin L2 using ZK-Rollup technology with a decentralized Oracle network and BTC-native bridge, ranking among the top Bitcoin L2s by TVL ($1B+ at peak). It natively supports BRC-20 tokens, Bitcoin Ordinals, and Atomicals alongside standard EVM tokens. The ecosystem includes MerlinSwap, Surf Protocol, and various BTCFi lending platforms. As the first major Bitcoin L2 to reach significant TVL, it attracts both legitimate protocols and scammers targeting the growing BTC DeFi narrative with fake staking rewards and Ordinals-themed rug pulls.

Merlin Security FAQ
Is Merlin Chain safe for Bitcoin DeFi?
Merlin is a leading Bitcoin L2, but individual tokens need verification. The BTC DeFi narrative makes it attractive to scammers. Always scan tokens first.
What risks are specific to Merlin Chain?
Bitcoin L2-specific risks include fake BTC staking tokens, bridge vulnerabilities, and tokens exploiting the Ordinals/BRC-20 narrative.
How do I verify Merlin Chain tokens?
Use our scanner for contract security analysis. Verify any BTC staking or yield claims through official Merlin Chain resources.
How do Ordinals and BRC-20 scams appear on Merlin?
Scammers deploy EVM tokens on Merlin claiming to represent popular BRC-20 tokens (ORDI, SATS) or high-value Ordinals inscriptions. These EVM tokens have no connection to the actual Bitcoin-native assets. Verify BRC-20 bridges through Merlin's official documentation only. Our scanner flags tokens impersonating well-known BRC-20 names that were deployed independently rather than through the official Merlin BRC-20 bridge contract.
What Merlin bridge security steps should I take?
Merlin's BTC bridge uses a threshold signature scheme to secure cross-chain transfers. Scammers create fake bridge interfaces that steal BTC deposits. Only use the bridge at merlinchain.io. Before bridging, verify the bridge contract address matches Merlin's official documentation. Our scanner checks whether bridge-related tokens were legitimately minted by the official Merlin bridge and flags any counterfeit bridged assets on the network.
