To commemorate the fourth halving of BTC, the dev team from Protocol X has created and open sourced a ‘Halving protocol’ that emulates the issuance rules of BTC: every 210,000 mints, the number of tokens produced will be halved.

The team said, 'welcome to use and innovate upon the protocol in the B² Ecosystem': https://github.com/b2network/halving-protocol

Current average 5-minute gas price on the B² Network is ~0.00000002 BTC, 10,000 times lower than on the Bitcoin mainnet.

Due to the high default gas fee on MetaMask, many users have paid more gas fees than necessary. We will airdrop the extra gas fees exceeding 0.04 Gwei back to users while we work on solving this issue with @metamask.

B² Network and Merlin Chain, have entered into a strategic partnership on the security and liquidity of the BTC ecosystem.

B² Network is a modular Bitcoin Layer2 solution, introducing B² Rollup as Execution Layer and B² Hub as DA Layer. Merlin Chain is a Bitcoin Layer 2 that integrates ZK-Rollup network, decentralized oracle network, and on-chain BTC fraud proof modules.

We will leverage each other's strengths to collaborate in the following two areas:

🟧Merlin Chain will integrate the DA Layer – B² Hub of B² Network, and boost the security of BTC Layer2s through B² Hub.
🟧mBTC and solvBTC on Merlin Chain can be bridged to B² Network, fostering a more seamless and interconnected Bitcoin Layer2 ecosystem.

This partnership will greatly enhance the security and liquidity of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
