What is Marlin and POND Staking?

Marlin is an open-source provider of Layer-0 network architecture, which improves the node communication through high-performance relay networks. POND is the native utility token for Marlin that can be used in delegating to Marlin nodes and be incentivized for operating the relay network correctly.

By staking PONDs, token holders temporarily lock the tokens up, contributing to the security of the network. Rewards are provided to validators and delegators in return for this service.
