Marlin Partners With Lighthouse

Marlin has announced a partnership with Lighthouse, a protocol that provides decentralized perpetual data storage based on IPFS and Filecoin. The goal of this collaboration is to accelerate the adoption of decentralized, trustless frontends by utilizing Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and ensuring cost-effective storage.

POND Info

Marlin is a layer-0 protocol focused on enhancing the performance infrastructure of decentralized blockchain networks. Through optimizations at the network layer, it aims to elevate the efficiency of decentralized applications to match that of traditional Web 2.0 platforms.

Marlin offers a toolkit to facilitate low-latency communication in decentralized settings:

Marlin SDK: Tailored for developers requiring swift one-to-many communication for applications like gaming, streaming, and various blockchain operations.

Marlin Cache: Acts as a decentralized content delivery network, caching frequent API requests and data store inputs.

Marlin Gateway: Facilitates the expedient exchange of large data blocks and transactions through a low-latency relay network, optimizing Gas Price Auctions and supporting blockchains with quick block times at layer-0.

POND is the native token of the Marlin protocol. Token holders can influence key governance decisions, including the use of treasury funds and the allocation of network resources.

POND is used to reward users for sending or receiving data within the Marlin ecosystem. The token can also be used for staking.
