Founded in 2018 to address the need for viable scaling solution within the computerblockchaincomputer industry, Marlin Labs offers an efficient packet propagationa decentralized networking protocol. The Marlin Protocol has been developed for decentralized applications built on blockchain networks as well as blockchains themselves.

The Marlin Protocol promises to accommodate a range of decentralized relay networks, transmitting blocks throughout the entire system with a previously unrealized level of efficiency. The protocol design provides enough communication repetition to ensure security. It also encourages competition amongst networks, leading to greater transaction speeds.

Founded by researchers at Stanford and MIT, Marlin facilitates orders of magnitude improvement in throughput in planet-scale decentralized networks and is currently collaborating with platforms like Holochain, Blockcloud and several others.
