Merge is a spinoff of Forest Neurotech, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit research organization established in 2023. The project has deep roots in the research community—several of Merge's cofounders maintain active ties with Forest, bringing their expertise from the neurotechnology research space into the crypto ecosystem. This connection between the research organization and the blockchain initiative reflects an interesting trend of traditional tech talent moving into Web3 development.

Haha, after all this, it's still just academic-style entry. Do these people really understand brain science, or do they just want to harvest the leeks?

Uh... jumping from the academic circle to the crypto world, these folks really can't stay idle.

NGL, another academic background transitioning into Web3. I'm tired of this routine. Can Forest's researchers really bring the brain-computer interface approach onto the blockchain? I'm a bit skeptical.

NGL, jumping directly from research institutions to crypto is a bit outrageous... But it's true that I've seen quite a few Neurotec talents recently involved in Web3. Really?

Another project with a research institution background, but this time in brain technology? That's interesting, but can it be implemented?

So you jumped from Neurotec to the crypto world, and this wave of talent movement is impressive... But on the other hand, can those working in brain science really understand blockchain?

Really? Jumping from neurotechnology to crypto? These people are quite bold. But if they truly have a research background to support it, that's just outrageous.

Hey, neurotechnology crossing into the crypto track, this idea is pretty interesting.

ngl Moving from neurotechnology to crypto is a bit of a big leap... but a solid research background is definitely better than those who are just trading coins.
