Marlin is a layer 0 solution that optimises blockchain architecture and improves resilience and decentralisation. Practically speaking, it aims to help peer-to-peer applications scale by enhancing communication between nodes. Marlin believes that upgraded networking and communication protocols are essential to building a seamless transition to the next generation of the internet.
POND is the native utility token used by Marlin. Users can deploy POND to delegate to nodes for staking. It can also be used for governance procedures. For example, users that hold 1 million POND can mint an MPOND token and use it to operate a node or table new governance proposals.
