Breaking Speed Barriers!
Enabling blockchains achieve 500x higher throughput and sub 100ms latency while maintaining provable anonymity
How it works?
Marlin’s high availability and reliability network is made possible with the creation of its versatile bandwidth sharing marketplace, built by its users.
Marlin Demand
Users pay LIN tokens to provision a customized overlay network powered by the Marlin. Nodes provide packet forwarding, routing, on-path processing and data storage allowing for high-scalability, reliability, and untraceable privacy.
Marlin Supply
Users join the network by running an open-source software that is available on all major operating systems (mobiles and routers too!). Running these nodes generates LIN tokens in proportion to the volume of traffic passing through them.
Marlin Power
New nodes join the network by staking LIN tokens and passing regular Proof-of-Availability and Proof-of-Bandwidth checks to ensure network reliability along with guaranteed Quality of Service.
Use Cases
Blockchain
The Marlin network is blockchain-agnostic and is interoperable with traditional web protocols opening a wide range of possibilities.
Privacy
Probabilistic forwarding, shell games, anonymous routing, and more, enable privacy preserving packet delivery
Scale
Multipath routing, cut-through routing, multicast trees, and more built on customized transport layers give developers the power to support apps at Google-scale. Sub-second confirmations act as jet fuel for all blockchains
Dapps
Dynamic traffic steering, path conditioning, route optimizations and more allow for lightning fast, high volumes of information supporting a seamless experience in next-gen video games and HD streaming through IPFS
Messaging
Marlin's adopted network constructs support unfettered communication, free from centralized maneuvering and surveillance
Streaming
Marlin's elastic, distributed and resilient Hybrid Network Topology provides a low latency expandable buffering solution suiting decentralized media stream requirements
Trading
Marlin's efficienct multicast and pathconditioning adds responsiveness to decentralized trading platforms, offering reliable and ultra-low latency trading services
Gaming
Marlin's supercharged scalable network, accelerates online gaming experience and makes it jitter-free, while load balancing irons out massive spikes, avoiding performance degradation
Enterprises
Dynamic traffic steering, path conditioning, route optimizations and more allow for lightning fast, high volumes of information supporting a seamless experience in next-gen video games and HD streaming through IPFS
