The impact created by Bitcoin technology is self-evident, but its strong security and massive asset scale have not been fully released into the broader blockchain ecosystem. The Bitcoin network itself lacks smart contract functionality, and most Bitcoin assets remain idle, unable to directly participate in maintaining the security of other chains or efficiently circulate in decentralized finance. Traditional solutions like Merge Mining allow Bitcoin miners to support the security of other blockchains (such as early Namecoin, Dogecoin) while maintaining the Bitcoin network. However, Merge Mining has two main drawbacks: first, it can only be used to protect blockchains using Proof of Work (PoW) mechanisms and cannot be applied to mainstream Proof of Stake (PoS) chains; second, since miners' primary interests are tied to Bitcoin itself, they can easily attack merged-mined chains without losing Bitcoin, making the protected chain's security completely dependent on miners' subjective will, rather than constraining their behavior through economic penalties, known as the "Nothing-at-Stake" problem.
