According to Foresight News, MerlinStarter has reported a sudden surge in on-chain transactions, leading to congestion in Merlinchain RPC. This has resulted in a large number of purchase, claim, and transfer requests being processed. If DEX transactions have not been successful, users are advised to wait patiently. MerlinStarter has stated that it is currently in communication with the Merlin technical team and expects to resume normal operations soon.
