Marlin
Crypto Overview
Purpose and Utility
Marlin Protocol (POND) is a layer-0 networking solution designed to improve blockchain infrastructure performance. The protocol aims to optimize network connectivity and reduce latency for blockchain networks through its high-performance networking layer.
Business Model
The project's business model revolves around providing network optimization services to blockchain networks. POND tokens are used for governance and to incentivize network operators who run Marlin nodes. Node operators stake POND tokens to participate in the network and earn rewards for their services.
Real-World Adoption
Marlin has established partnerships with several blockchain projects including Band Protocol, Matic Network (now Polygon), and Blockstack. The protocol is actively being used to improve network performance for these platforms.
Development Activity
The project maintains active development on GitHub, with regular updates to its core infrastructure. The team continues to work on improving the protocol's performance and expanding its capabilities.
Token Distribution and Vesting
The token distribution includes allocations for the team, advisors, and early investors with standard vesting periods. While detailed vesting schedules are public, a significant portion of tokens are allocated to ecosystem development and network rewards.
