Chainstack introduces support for Merlin

We’re excited to announce that Chainstack now supports the Merlin network, a new EVM-compatible blockchain focused on enhancing smart contract functionality and unlocking next-gen developer experiences.

With this integration, Web3 developers can now leverage battle-tested Chainstack infrastructure to deploy, test, and scale their applications on Merlin faster than ever—without worrying about costly infrastructure overhead.

Why build on Merlin?

Merlin is a performance-first blockchain purpose-built for developers seeking more control and flexibility. Built for DApps, DeFi, and modular contracts, it offers:

• Enhanced EVM compatibility: Supports advanced Solidity patterns and improved tooling.
• Optimized for builders: Minimal overhead and faster deploy-test-iterate loops.
• Secure, scalable core: Designed to handle high-volume Web3 use cases.

For developers, it means greater flexibility, faster time to market, and a growing ecosystem that rewards innovation and performance.
