Protocol TVL
About Merlin
Merlin is an auto-compounding yield aggregator with an ecosystem optimized to focus on safe and sustainable maximum yield return.
Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.
Security & Audits
Oracles supply external price data to on-chain contracts. Oracle compromise is a common attack vector — diversified providers reduce single-point-of-failure risk.
Protocol Profile
Merlin operates in the Yield category of DeFi. It is deployed on Binance. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).
Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Merlin is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Binance — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
