About Marlin (POND) Coin
Marlin (POND) Coin Pigeons, printing press, the Internet… it is undeniable that increasing efficiencies in communication have created enormous value. However, in this era of the Internet of Value with blockchains promising to be the anchor of trust, communication bottlenecks have plagued user experiences. The believe that as in web 2.0, networking will emerge as a crucial backbone to the decentralized economy. Marlin, pronounced / ‘mar lin’ /, is the fastest fish on the planet reaching speeds of 129 kilometres an hour unnoticed to all but a few.
Marlin (POND) Likewise, the mission is to make web 3 experiences fast, trustless and secure by reimagining the networking architecture underneath blockchains. Committed to open standards, Marlin redefines scalability, resiliency and decentralization at layer 0. etworks form the backbone of all peer-to-peer systems as hosts communicate with one anothervia the Internet. Enterprises have long recognized the importance of networks in improving userexperience and productivity.
As a result, a variety of techniques including the use of private lines,CDNs and SD-WANs have been developed to provide better networking. Blockchains, however, relyon the public internet which is generally modeled as an asynchronous, best effort communication system, in which guarantees of reliable communication cannot be established. Since decentralized systems can’t take advantage of the techniques mentioned earlier due to their centralized nature,they accept the performance compromise imposed by the public Internet as a given

Mission
Marlin (POND) A decade has passed since Satoshi Nakamoto’s original Bitcoin paper first surfaced. In this span of time, researchers and developers around the world have extended Satoshi’s ideas dramatically to propose distributed ledgers in different colors and shapes. In the last several years, they have seen a Cambrian explosion of blockchains that seek to solve fundamental technological limitations that Bitcoin posed, and extend the technology’s purview to domains far beyond digital currency.
While many of these newer systems are unrecognizably dissimilar to Bitcoin, and to each other—the same computer science principles of peer-to-peer networking lie at the heart of all of them. From another perspective, while there have been remarkable advances in cryptographic primitives, consensus protocols, and incentive mechanism, little has changed at the network layer.
Marlin (POND) Peer-to-peer networks in virtually all decentralized systems are built to cater to an invariable pattern of communication: information produced by one node needs to be propagated to each and every node in the network. Such a one-to-many pattern is dramatically different from the predominant pattern seen in traditional server-client (or point-to-point) architectures. And unsurprisingly, much of the current point-to-point network protocols are unsuitable for decentralized systems.
The Unglamourous Underbelly of the Decentralized Economy
Scalability
Unreliable networks and long block propagation delays are a key factor limiting blockchain throughput Marlin SDK provides a plug-and-play networking alternative to increase the throughput of all blockchains with minimal protocol changes
Decentralization
Marlin (POND) number of nodes in a blockchain are often restricted to small numbers to guarantee low confirmation times Marlin SDK allows blockchains and off-chain protocols to scale to hundreds of thousands of nodes without compromising on performance
Anonymity
The pattern of packet propagation through a P2P network reveals the origin of transactions Marlin Foundry enables creation and deployment of anonymity networks that can be seamlessly integrated through the Marlin SDK
Networking as a Scalability Bottleneck
Marlin (POND) While various off-chain methods have been developed and are being actively worked upon to scaleblockchains, they face a couple of disadvantages today which include the requirement that partiesremain online to ensure that the other party plays fair (or pay a third-party to monitor the same),large amounts of locked capital, formation of hubs leading to centralization of routing nodes, few routes for high value transactions etc. Moreover, off-chain scaling solutions usually rely on on-chain dispute resolution mechanisms. This means that the dispute resolution mechanism is limited by on-chain throughput – it can be saturated with disputes thereby necessarily letting some disputes go unresolved in favor of an attacker. The higher the throughput of the base chain, the tougher and costlier it is to perform a successful attack of this kind
Conclusion
Our mission is to advance the state of peer-to-peer communication systems, to power the blockchain platforms, protocols, and applications of the future. We believe efficient network protocols are key to achieving planet-scale decentralized networks. We believe privacy and anonymity are core primitives that need to be built into the network layer. By building such technology, we can improve the privacy and performance of all blockchains.
As more applications and platforms adopt Marlin, the network participants benefit from increased incentives. Higher incentives attract more nodes to join the network, resulting in synergistic network effects exhibited in improved performance and stronger anonymity guarantees. We believe a single, well-crafted network layer would be pivotal for greater interoperability and would open the door for entirely new kinds of applications.
Marlin is not a conventional company. We believe that the true promise of decentralized systems is realized when all the stakeholders have incentives aligned towards the progress of the entire ecosystem. Marlin is a community of developers and experts with the mission of making blockchain technology robust and efficient for everyone.
Race Attack and Finney Attack
Attack description.An attacker can send a transaction to only the merchant while create aconflicting transaction that sends the amount to his own account and send it to the network.It is more likely that the latter transaction gets included in the next block thus reversing themerchants transaction. This attack only makes sense when the merchant accepts 0-confirmationtransactions. In a Finney attack, the attacker himself constructs a block having the conflictingtransaction and propagates it quickly across the network as soon as the merchant accepts itsoriginal transaction7
.Vector76 attack.A Vector76 attack is like the Finney attack described above except that themerchant waits for at least one-confirmation. In order to satisfy this requirement, the attacker sendshis privately mined block containing the transaction paying the merchant only to the merchant assoon as he observes a block being propagated that contains it’s conflicting transaction (to preventthe merchant from propagating the block containing the legitimate transaction) and quickly triesto retrieve goods of equal value from the merchant based on the 1-confirmation
