How the Merlin Airdrop Reveals Barrier-Free Participation in the Restaking Sector
"Idiot-proof operation," participate with one click on the HTX platform, no lock-up required, more flexible.
With the completion of Bitcoin's fourth halving, the crypto market remains in a phase of rapid expansion. Currently, projects in the Restaking sector are growing and advancing quickly, making Restaking one of the most compelling narratives attracting investor attention and offering cryptocurrency holders abundant choices and opportunities.
Recently, Merlin opening its airdrop page has become a notable event within the Restaking space. This airdrop also enabled Huobi HTX users participating in liquidity restaking (Liquid Restaking) to simultaneously receive Merlin tokens ($MERL), bringing them additional returns. The initial Merlin airdrop has once again brought Huobi HTX’s Liquid Restaking initiative—known for being “beginner-friendly”—into the spotlight.
On-chain and Off-chain Coordination: Huobi HTX Synchronizes Merlin Airdrop Distribution
The Merlin airdrop is hailed as the largest fair launch in history. As the first exchange within the industry to participate in the Restaking sector, Huobi HTX not only allocated over 100 million in staking rewards but also made participation simple with one-click access. After Merlin distributed tokens on-chain, Huobi HTX promptly synchronized the airdrop at the fastest possible speed.
According to an official announcement from Huobi HTX, users who earned LRS-BTC points through the Huobi HTX Liquid Restaking program will receive airdrop rewards from both MerlinChain and BounceBit in a 50%:50% ratio. The first 50% release of MERL tokens in April was fully distributed by April 22. Participants can check their spot accounts to claim the tokens.
Huobi HTX's MERL reward distribution rules align with on-chain releases, with 50% distributed in the initial April release. This airdrop covers users who participated in Liquid Restaking and earned LRS-BTC points between February 29 and April 14, 24:00 (UTC+8).
Future airdrops will continue, with allocation ratios remaining synchronized with on-chain distributions.
"Plug-and-Play" Operation: One-Click Participation on Huobi HTX, No Lock-up, Greater Flexibility
April's cryptocurrency market saw the arrival of Bitcoin's fourth halving cycle, placing markets in a state of high volatility. For investors, finding stable return strategies has become increasingly important. The Restaking sector stands out precisely due to its multi-layered yield structure and low risk profile.
However, on-chain restaking presents certain challenges: complex operations, locked funds that cannot be traded, unclear staking periods, and the need for users to possess project evaluation skills and even code-reading capabilities.
A key advantage of participating in the Liquid Restaking program on Huobi HTX is the absence of fund lock-ups. Investors can earn returns instantly with one-click participation, whether their funds are held in spot or futures accounts. This flexibility allows investors to better navigate market fluctuations.
Currently, participants in Huobi HTX’s Liquid Restaking program can continue earning airdrops from marquee projects such as BounceBit, EigenLayer, and Puffer. Additional restaking project airdrop rewards will be added soon, with earlier participation leading to greater potential airdrop allocations.
Lucrative Merlin Staking Returns: More Huobi HTX "Curated" Restaking Projects to Deliver Airdrops
So far, airdrop rewards from the Huobi HTX Liquid Restaking program are nearly identical to those obtained via direct on-chain participation. Based on current MERL prices, annualized yields stand at approximately 88.02% and 88.24%, respectively.
Same high returns, vastly different levels of effort. Clearly, users participating in Huobi HTX’s liquidity restaking enjoy a much more convenient and stress-free experience.
Currently, many other projects similar to Merlin are active in restaking campaigns on the Huobi HTX platform, providing users with rich options to explore boldly. In addition to Merlin Chain, these include:
● EigenLayer first token airdrop (a flagship Ethereum restaking project with over $14.7 billion staked on-chain)
● Puffer first token airdrop (a leading Ethereum restaking project with over $1.3 billion staked on-chain)
● BounceBit first token airdrop (a Bitcoin staking chain with over $1 billion staked on-chain)
Huobi HTX users can use their spot and futures balances to participate with one click and share in the rewards. Beyond these airdrops, they can also win tokens such as ETH, USDT, HTX, and TRX.
These marquee projects have all been carefully "curated" by the platform, vetted by a professional elite investment team. While airdrop and reward mechanisms vary, their potential returns are highly attractive. Investors can select based on personal preferences and risk tolerance, participate with one click, and earn stable returns. Of course, airdrop redemption timing depends on each project’s initial on-chain airdrop schedule. To facilitate future reward claims, LRS points will soon be upgraded to corresponding project-specific points and support redemption directly on the platform.
In summary, the new way to participate in the Restaking sector is precisely Huobi HTX’s Liquid Restaking program. Through this Merlin airdrop, whether measured by operational convenience or return performance, Huobi HTX’s liquidity restaking initiative has demonstrated immense appeal and superiority. Crypto investors seeking stable returns are encouraged to visit the Huobi HTX platform to access cutting-edge investment insights.
