Marlin is an open protocol that provides a high-performance programmable network infrastructure for DeFi and Web 3.0. The nodes in the Marlin network, called Metanodes, operate the MarlinVM which provides a virtual router interface for developers to deploy customized overlays and perform edge computations.Notable overlays that can be built using MarlinVM include:* Low-latency block multicast to scale blockchains* Low-latency mempool sync for arbitrageurs* Mesh networks* Anonymity networks like mixnets* Device optimization and caching responses of API to Infura, Alchemy etcIts native utility token POND is used for:* Running validator nodes on the network via staking* Making and voting on governance proposals to determine...
