The integration of the Pyth oracle with Merlin Chain, a Layer 2 solution built on Bitcoin's ZK-Rollup technology, decentralized oracle network, and BTC fraud detection modules, is a significant step forward. This collaboration solidifies Pyth Price Feeds as a crucial tool for developers within the expanding Bitcoin ecosystem.

According to Jeff, the Founder of BitmapTech and Merlin Chain, the team is excited to partner with Pyth to establish the groundwork for Merlin Chain. By leveraging Pyth's price feeds and market data, they are prepared to welcome the new wave of Bitcoin and DeFi applications to Merlin Chain.

Now that Pyth Price Feeds are active on Merlin Chain, developers have access to more than 400 real-time data feeds covering various asset classes. This enhances the security and functionality of smart contract applications related to trading, lending, and borrowing. The unique pull oracle architecture of Pyth ensures that applications can efficiently obtain accurate and timely price data.
