这件事情准备了差不多一个月，现在终于可以和大家说了 :)

首先感谢最早 Mask Network 创始人 @suji_yan 的介绍，让我认识了 OKX 团队。

然后就是最近和 OKX 的 @Mercy_okx 用视频对话的方式，非常具体地聊了 V2EX 的过去和未来——这件事情是怎么开始的，及接下来的计划。这是整理出来的文字稿：

链上 Build 这件事情很有趣的一点是——当大家都在同一条链上 Build 的时候，就几乎肯定会相遇。所以在访谈开始之前，在产品层面的各种协同其实早已开始——和 Mask Network 的 @web3bio ，及最好用的 Web3 钱包，OKX Wallet @OKXWallet_CN 。

而接下来，真正的 long term 的变化，最终还是要靠实际部署并且持续跑起来的代码。重要的事情是我们最终 deliver & iterate 在访谈中提到的那个计划。

[Merlin Chain @MerlinLayer2]

🧙‍♂️@MerlinLayer2 joins the @WrappedBTC DAO!

A historic moment for BTCFi — Bitcoin Layer 2 meets the most trusted wrapped BTC asset.

Merlin Chain is now an official member of WBTC DAO — joining @BitGo and other core contributors to grow the largest BTC-backed asset in crypto.

A new force enters the DAO. But why does this matter? Let’s unpack it.
