Marlin Protocol Announcements

2021-06-01 16:04:56 Launching Lagoon, a full-fledged testnet environment for operators on the Marlin network!

Highlights:

Lagoon is an isolated lookalike of the Larvanet staking platform.
Backed by a separate set of tokens & staking contracts on the Kovan network.
Operators can verify their setup on Lagoon & easily switch to the Larvanet.
Attract delegations by pointing to a track record of performance on the testnet.
A testbed for the dev team to first test updates to the network or contracts without affecting the Larvanet.

Polkadot validators & full nodes can install the Marlin gateway to interact with the Marlin network.
FlowMint rewards will be limited to delegators of validators who install the gateway starting June.
A governance proposal needs to be passed to divert a % of the staking rewards to operators who serve Cosmos and Polkadot.
