Bitget, a major player in Web3 and cryptocurrency trading, has made a multi-million dollar investment Morphing, a Layer 2 blockchain focused on a consumer-centric approach. This partnership, announced on December 11, means from Bitget commitment to advancing innovative Web3 projects and marks a pivotal moment in the development of a new, value-driven dApp ecosystem.
New rollup technology meets a consumer-centric approach
Morph, formerly Morphism, distinguishes itself with its unique roll-up technology developments. Combining the strengths of Optimistic and ZK roll-ups, the solution aims to improve scalability, minimize cost barriers, expedite dispute resolution, and provide secure and customizable transactions.
A critical element of Morph’s design is its decentralized sequencer network, which ensures fast and affordable Layer 2 transactions, challenges the dominance of maximum extractable value (MEV) and eradicates central control points. The project’s modular framework allows each ecosystem component to evolve independently and keep pace with rapid innovations in consumer applications.
However, according to the Morph team, developing a new technological solution for the plains industry was not their only goal. Aiming to create a space where dApps become our trusted everyday companions and deliver real value to the end user, the project uses a consumer-centric approach, enhancing UX through simple onboarding and intuitive interfaces.
Morph joins Bitget in its Web3 vision
Bitget Managing Director Gracy Chen emphasizes the importance of the partnership with Morph:
Morph has a great experienced team, a vibrant multicultural approach and leading strategic capabilities to drive mass adoption. It has shown tangible progress in its commitment to a unique vision of a consumer blockchain. With Bitget’s commitment to forging ties with exemplary Web3 entities, we have embraced Morph in a spirit of collaboration.”
According to Chen, Morph’s emphasis on a decentralized and consumer-centric approach aligns perfectly with Bitget’s vision. It has the potential to transform the blockchain space, preparing the technology for everyday use and unlocking widespread consumer adoption.

Cecilia Hsueh, co-founder and CEO of Morph is confident that investments from Bitget can help the protocol achieve its long-term strategic goals:
We are extremely grateful for Bitget’s support. The recent capital injection demonstrates our incubator’s confidence in Morph’s UVP and sets the stage for the seed funding round. Our proactive financial strategy is designed to address an aggressive roadmap and product development timeline to reshape the Layer 2 landscape
The alliance provides Morph with a robust platform for growth, supported by Bitget’s extensive user base of 20 million exchange users and 12 million Bitget Wallet users. Earlier this year, Morph entered into a strategic alliance with Foresight Ventures, a crypto fund based in Singapore.
In the coming months, Morph plans to intensify the development of its technical framework and broader ecosystem. The project will launch its Testnet Beta in early January 2024, followed by the Mainnet Beta of its Optimistic zkEVM.
