Enable MERL/WBNB (0.25% fee tier) V3 gauge on BNB Chain

Overview

  • Proposal seeks to enable MERL/WBNB (0.25% fee tier) V3 gauge on BNB chain

Background

  • MERL, a utility token of Merlin Chain, the leading Bitcoin Layer 2, for staking, governance, gas, and collator delegation.
  • Launched on April 19th, 2024. MERL is listed on OKX, Bybit and multiple top-tier CEXs.
  • With over $9.7B in CEX trading volume since launch, our goal is to expand accessibility on BNB Chain. MERL has the intention and potential to drive volume and fees to PancakeSwap.
