Merlin Protocol
NFTFi, which is short for NFT plus Finance, is an important development of the next phase of NFT market. NFTFi makes NFTs a more liquid asset by integrating DeFi protocols, and also opens up more possibilities for the derivative of NFTs.
Merlin Protocol implements a lease liquidity pool protocol based on Automated Market Maker, which automatically matches lease orders without middlemen, which solves the problem of insufficient capital utilization in the NFT market and the need of leverage high-quality NFTs. Furthermore, we choose BTC hash power as the first application, which is a kind of common valuable digital asset. Integrating with NFTs also meets the needs of miners, so that the hash power can be better circulated, and improve the capital utilization in the mining operation.
Lease MarketMerlin Lease Pool is an application of the decentralized Lease protocol, which provides a public rental liquidity Pool to the market. Renters and tenants interact with the pool for leasing orders. Dynamic rents are generated in real-time by calculating the supply-demand relationship in the pool, and renters share the rental income generated by the pool.
Hash NFTThe Hash NFT is the first product that combines bitcoin mining investment and NFT. The holder is able to directly participate in bitcoin mining and NFT investment in the same time and enjoy the return for both.
Mining Rewards OracleMining Rewards Oracle (MRO) uses the strategy of multi-node acquisition and distributed submission to input the data of the top 10 Mining pools in the Bitcoin network on smart contract. MRO provides interface to builders, that builders are able to design and develop computing power relative derivatives based on MRO.
Wrapped NFTWrapped NFT (WNFT) is a wrapped version of ERC-721. The holder locked the NFT in the dApp, and the dApp will issue the unique WNFT to the holder. WNFT supports the latest features of ERC-4907, WNFT holders can participate in more Defi protocol to obtain benefits. If the holder destroys the WNFT in the dApp, the original NFT will unlock and return it to the original holder.

Hash Power Standardization
Each NFT represents n/T hash rate over a preset expiration. Investors enjoy mining rewards generated from the designated hash power without the trouble of running a full-scale mining operation.
Binding Protocol
The Merlin Binding Protocol decentralizes cryptocurrency mining hashpower then enables it to be bound to any NFT on any project wallet. This allows for integration with other NFT projects.
Decentralized Lease Protocol
Allows for Renters NFT assets, a protocol to obtain rental income. Tenants rent NFT from the protocol to participate in DeFi staking, GameFi mining, among other ways to obtain income. The protocol takes the lease commission model to generate dynamic lease rent in real time according to supply-demand dynamics of the market, which is more liquid than the order leasing system.
Multichain Support
Merlin Protocol was designed to support multichain. The DApp applications will first be deployed on the Ethereum Network with additional support for BSC, Avalanche, Solana and Matic. Multichain support improves the liquidity of the hashpower NFTs.
