The Abstract Wallet (AA Wallet), developed in partnership with @ParticleNtwrk, provides an innovative BTC Layer 1 and Layer 2 wallet solution for Merlin users.
1. What is an Abstract Wallet?
⭐ The Abstract Wallet allows Bitcoin users to easily access and interact with Merlin Chain’s innovative technology. In simple terms, through the AA Wallet, you can create an EVM address on Merlin Chain using your BTC wallet. All subsequent transactions and transfers will be signed using your BTC wallet.
Merlin AA Wallet
- Login: Sign in with your BTC wallet to generate your AA wallet.
- Features: Combines the advantages of EOA (Externally Owned Accounts) and contract wallets, supporting more customizable features.
- Gas Abstraction: Allows payment of gas fees with BTC or $MERL.
- Private Key: The AA wallet has no private key. It is controlled by your BTC wallet, so ensure you securely store your BTC mainnet recovery phrase to restore the wallet.
- Cross-Chain: Supports cross-chain bridging, allowing easy asset transfer.
Traditional EVM Wallet on Merlin Chain (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet)
- Login: Controlled by the user’s mnemonic phrase (private key).
- Gas Fees: Only BTC on Merlin Chain can be used for gas fees.
- Private Key Management: The private key can be imported to bots for operations such as interacting with BTC.fun.
⚠️ Safety Tip:
- Bot Security: You can use bots linked to official security channels like @MerlinSwap, but it’s recommended to operate with small amounts due to inherent bot risks.
2. How to Fund Gas?
AA Wallet supports both $MERL and $BTC for gas payments. Simply keep $MERL in your wallet to perform any on-chain interactions.
⭐ Tip: The most convenient way to use the wallet is to directly withdraw $MERL from exchanges like OKX to your AA wallet.
3. How to Export the AA Wallet’s Private Key?
The AA wallet is a Contract Account (CA), it has no private key and can only be controlled by your BTC wallet. If you are a BTC user, continue controlling the wallet with your BTC wallet. If you are an EVM user and wish to migrate to an EVM wallet, you can transfer the asset from your AA wallet to your EVM wallet directly.
